Not to mention men in their early 20s now hit puberty during the height of the #MeToo movement. Then they aged into their late teens watching Epstein and all the other creepy men taking the spotlight.

Super necessary and important movements but it had to be confusing going from a 13 year old to a young man while being barraged with how evil men can be.

In 2018 I was in my mid 20s living in San Francisco and "white men are evil and are the problem" was the accepted stance. Like disagree with that statement at your peril. In my mid 20s I could contextualize it as a passing a phenomenon, but could a 16 year old?

Men having to hear about how women dont like being abused are the real victims of sexual abuse.

When the issue was gangs dealing drugs and engaging in street violence, overwhelming majority of perpetrators were men. And they were talked about specifically as a young men issue. It was not confusing to young men.

You don't think inundating the media with footage of young (specifically black) men dealing drugs and being in gangs in the 80s/90s had any impact on those young men?

Cool take.
