Men are not constantly being told “you’re bad,” they are constantly being told “LEFT WING SJWS THINK YOU’RE BAD” by conservative propaganda. There’s a huge difference.
I have two sons, and I don't think I've ever seen messaging going "Don't be a boy" or "YOU'RE BAD."
Sure looks like that's in "I heard someone say that they heard..." territory, rather than actual direct experience.
Also worth noting, the main message from manosphere influencers is "YOU'RE BAD."

It's a brutal time for young men, and to be raising one. The primary message they now is get is "YOU'RE BAD" without any meaningful attempt to offer healthy pathways beyond "Don't be a boy."
Absolutely perfect time for right wing monsters to sweep in with shitty answers.

Believing that America can or must be good does not require one to believe that America is or was good or that Americans are more important than anyone else in the world. I don't know who it serves to insist otherwise.
The problem I'm seeing with leftists is they want others to hate America as much as they do but I'm sorry that's not going to happen and also that's no way to improve politics. We need people to love this country and want to make it better. This era has actually made me more patriotic.
Speaker talking about how
Trump is the natural conclusion of America’s founding and, like, the crowd full of moms with “Follow the Constitution!” signs is obviously ready for him to go

/3 Next, note the “something must be done, so you can hardly complain if the state does it” and “even a caricature reflects truth” question-begging, which accompanies the false equivalence.
The entire point of making “cancel culture” as bad as state censorship is justifying a state response.

There is this really interesting phenomenon that happens in science communication where the updating of ideas is see as breaking the trust in science rather than a commitment to being accurate
"virologists originally thought it was a lab leak, then they investigated and couldn't find any evidence so they updated their views" holy shit what a smoking gun you have
