Parents need to understand how algorithms work. These can drive misogynistic content towards boys and young men and can make extreme views seem normal.
The "what you can do" part towards the bottom has some decent suggestions.
Yeah, but none of them are "Wait for leadership of these tech companies to Visit Manhattan", which is probably a necessary component.
I mean I knew all that but everytime I read something about that it just makes me so angry and helpless at the same time. Knowing my children will grow up in a world dominated by algorithms
This article is completely tone deaf.
It is actually this tone deafness that is radicalizing boys. Boys and specially Caucasian boys, are born into a world where they are told that being male is evil, being white is evil. Every other group is entitled to privileges and special programs, and protection, but not boys. For them it is actually the opposite, they have to pay reparations for the crimes of their forefathers, whoever they are
This approach unsurprisingly makes young boys feel attacked and radicalizes them just like any other group would get radicalized if under attack
The return to mysoginy is mainstream and that is because the attack on young boys is mainstream
Think about it
It's so dumb though. As if anything was going to change for white males. It reeks of insecurity
And man can't be insecure?

Imagine how he feels, trapped by a social discourse. Punishing todays boys for what yesterday’s boys did is not the solution
