I can only say that this is a fitting response. From the farce of Men's Rights, PUA & brah culture to general misogyny, I'm getting a little tired of many of the youth of my gender. Has anyone seen any studies on why we're seeing this surge of ignorance?

Yeah, just look in the Greek and Roman classics sections of your local university library.
I'm sorry, I don't understand your meaning.
Young people being assholes isn't exclusive to this generation, it's just nowadays we are so connected you can see & hear them a lot more.

We aren't special, it's been happening for millennia.

It's not an unreasonable point, but I feel like this is different. Either way, we'll have to see how this turns out.
Well one person's surge of ignorance is another person's surge of exaggerating ignorance. Perhaps you should ask the question "Has anyone seen any studies on whether there really is a surge of <something>"
Your source was for a surge in men's rights activism, not ignorance. Perhaps the surge in ignorance that you're seeing is your own biased opinion on the matter?
No, I've read the propaganda, it's illogical at best. Just seems to be a surge in butthurt little boys running around.
Wow, "little boys"? "Butthurt"? Sounds like you are really biased on the matter, and I'd suggest you don't flaunt it as anything remotely resembling "logical".
Wiser men than I will choose to not name-call, though I live to no such standard. If you are a male and feel your rights are being impinged, you're as much of a loser as you are delusional. Get your head out of your ass and stop being a little bitch.
