The comments are quite saddening, and also quite worrying.

This isn't to put women's issues down, but men have problems too. There's a reason why young men turn to these grifters and get manipulated by them.

Even above all of that, assuming you don't agree, it's a problem. We're building up generations of uneducated and toxic men led by these role models. We can't just shrug that off and say it's not our issue, because at some point it is going to be our issue.

I find it telling that the meme is about men following idiotic "influencers" and so many people here are like "I identify with that man on the bike but my problems are unrelated"

I wouldn't say identify. Pretty sure many of us don't follow Andrew Tate or influencers in general. We're showing empathy for the general situation. Sorry it bothered you.
