The recent article on "incels" is nothing short of a disgraceful hit piece, dripping with misandry and designed to demonize men who are already struggling. It is a textbook example of how mainstream media shamelessly punches down, ridiculing and vilifying those at their lowest instead of offering understanding or solutions.
The article’s entire premise is built on bad faith. It cherry-picks the worst possible examples to paint all lonely, socially struggling men as ticking time bombs, potential terrorists simply for existing without romantic success. This is outright slander. Imagine applying the same broad strokes to women who struggle in dating, calling them "dangerous" or "mentally unstable" based on the actions of a few. The outrage would be deafening.
But when it comes to men, it’s not just acceptable, it’s encouraged.
This isn’t journalism; it’s propaganda. It feeds the growing societal trend where male suffering is treated as a joke or, worse, a threat. Instead of asking why so many young men are increasingly isolated, rising economic pressures, dating dynamics skewed by social media, the disappearance of real-world community structures. This article takes the lazy route: blame men, shame them, and fearmonger for clicks.
Radicalization happens when people feel unheard, unwanted, and discarded. By tarring all struggling men with the same brush, articles like this don’t solve anything, they actively make things worse. They push more men into isolation, into resentment, and into corners where they are met not with help, but with further condemnation. If violence is truly the concern, how does shoving people further into despair help prevent it?
The journalist responsible for this piece should be ashamed. Instead of reporting on the real causes of this issue, they have chosen to sensationalize and smear, worsening an already dire situation. If the goal is a better society, stop treating men’s struggles as a punchline or a threat. Recognize that the more you ostracize, humiliate, and demonize them, the more divided and broken society will become.
