  • I honestly think you’re reading a whole lot into this article just to have something to be indignant about.

    First, the “shopping mom” and “teenage son” bit is clearly a hyperbole and a juxtaposition of two (extremely) different audiences.

    Many young men spend (too) much time online, I think you’ll find that’s fair. The article is not saying that all young men do, just that there’s a sizable amount of them that do.

    There actually is a crisis of masculinity feeding into incel culture, that’s fairly well established (cf these papers; also that’s a different discussion). It’s not saying that all young men are radicalized far-right would-be incel mass shooters (which has happened before), but rather that there’s a growing tendency for disenfranchised young men to listen to … bullshit & con artists, for lack of a better term.

    I also think the article does not do a good job of explaining the whole female medicine insufficencies to QAnon link, but you seem aware that it’s just badly written at this point.

    Lastly, I get the impression that you’re seeing black and white - you’re claiming that the Guardian has an agenda, perhaps mirrored by other outlets and that women are treated in a more positive light. Honestly, at least in this and your other linked article I fail to see this.
