i'm wondering how long it's going to be before society realizes it has to do something about this unless it wants people like tate raising their children.

This has been a problem in the making for a long time and it's even worse now with the internet so accessible.

Idk if it's getting worse, most gen z boys seem to have been taught to clean much better than those before and are expected to be able to cook. That's not to say all movements to equality happen in the right direction, it seems young boys have much more body issues than before (e.g mogging mewing etc) and that sucks.

yeah but that's equivalent to shit like showering and brushing your teeth. If you don't know how to do that shit you quite literally are a dependent.

this is more of a shitpost than anything to be fair.

It's much easier for people to mock and ridicule than to educate and correct.

I'm not saying we shouldn't call out poor behavior but the way we do so should be constructive as to not breed further resentment. This goes for most everything too, not just for the issue in the OP.

This is just a small part of creating a world that you want to live in. We can't shut out the world or those we disapprove of, but we can contribute to the betterment of others, making the world a place we're more more comfortable with sharing.

yes, and this is why i think we should be completely ignoring this aspect. It's not really primed to do anything productive.

it's not that we need to call it out, we shouldn't allow it. Everybody called out the bad behavior of hitler, it's not like he up and stopped doing that shit.

the best way to do this is to instill it in the minds of children as they grow up. Which it seems we aren't doing at much of any rate.

exactly.
