The Rise of Hostility Against Men and its Impact
There is a growing social acceptance of expressing hostility against men, which has caught the attention of the author. Many publications and books portray masculinity as toxic and negative. This has led to demoralization and a sense of hostility towards men. Men are being attacked and labeled as violent, promiscuous, and irresponsible. The negative messages men receive and the labeling of normal behavior as toxic have pushed some men towards the manosphere, a community that exaggerates masculinity. It is important to understand the historical context, such as the Industrial Revolution, the rise of secularization, and the impact of Darwinian evolution in shaping society's perception of masculinity.
