These young men are willing to change themselves to gain the approval of patriarchal misogynistic men, but are un-willing to change themselves to gain the approval of women.
Then these young men blame women for not being attracted to them, even though the men have done *nothing* to make themselves attractive to women.
These young men have *chosen* to sabotage themselves, to make themselves more appealing to misogynistic men than to women.
"Feminism completely & directly challenged patriarchy's authority and the underpinnings of its institutions and narratives, and this made people who depended upon patriarchy for fortune and identity very upset and enraged and violent, and all this rage was usually presented as a problem... and that it was up to society to solve that problem on behalf of men, mostly by making women not insist on being human beings so much."

"Then there came along this notion that women were not property of men, but were actually human beings, just like men, with all the same qualities and abilities, and therefore, because of the plain fact of their humanity, they were deserving of all the same rights and opportunities.
The system that holds that women are property of men is called patriarchy.
The system that holds that women are human beings is called feminism."

"it cast masculinity as essentially dominating and femininity as essentially dominated. It also created an expectation that every man was owed at least one female... And I say man and female because I notice that this is the terminology used by men who still seem to believe they are owed at least one female. A man is a person. A female is a category. People will tell you things without knowing it, if you know how to listen."
