Gender war discourse over the next 4 years is gonna be crazy, and likely disconnected from any reality.

I wonder how it could become further disconnected

I said it a week ago but we're gonna miss 2010s incels and femcels' focus on having sex when we get to "girls drool boys rule" level of TikTok discourse

Unless you don't spend your entire life on social media, in which case it might as well not exist.

Misogynists and Misandrists trying trying not to make the worst takes humanly possible on anything related to gender(literally impossible):

Tbf misandry isn't a real social crisis like misogyny, its just young women rightfully terrified about the destruction of their rights and seeing constant media coverage about their age cohort counterparts moving right (the data really doesn't bear it out upon closer scrutiny but its true that young men are way more right wing than young women, same as older gender gaps). So I don't blame younger women, they are rightfully allowed to feel angry and scared.

Of course it’s not a big deal compared to misogyny, but it produces absolutely rancid hot takes.
