White, straight male in my 40s who worked hard to build a decent career. The feeling that this culture hates me based on each of those categories, completely without knowing me, is hard to ignore much longer without a response.

The feeling comes from being on the losing side of every action the government and popular culture takes. Being told that you can’t even be involved in a conversation about that fact.

White, straight male (too far) into in my 40s, but in France: for now I don't witness that. There is overall concern for women and minorities, but no hate towards my "category".

Reading what happens elsewhere, I'm happy to live in a more cohesive society.

Just wait then, or pay attention. France is as doomed as any other Western country. Zemmour doesn't stand a chance, and is probably a fraud anyway.

Go look at Google's Mother's Day doodles. Go look at Google's Father's Day doodles (if you can find them, suspiciously absent for a while).

"Men are trash." "Men are awful." Then look up on Wikipedia the "Women are wonderful" effect. And of course the ever-popular "dick is abundant and low-value."

You get suggestions like white people should be vaccinated last. And so on and so on. It just never stops.

It's hard to be left when it feels they hate me.

Because around the times of Occupy Wall Street the Left has been hijacked and redirected from addressing economic issues relevant to the majority (property ownership/retirement perspectives, cost of raising children, medical/education costs) to manufacturing intangible problems and directing the society's passion to solving them. So the fact that <1% of the population feels bad when called with wrong pronouns gets massive attention, and the fact that >50% of the population has massive debts and lives paycheck-to-paycheck is considered unworthy of discussion.

Maybe stop relying on google front page doodles for your own sense of self-worth?

It has nothing to do with self-worth. It's all about the leftist societal subversion of men.
