I walked past a group of boys so young their voices haven't broken, talking about how their classmates were "bops" and "ran through"

MixAffectionate1798 It feels so hopeless. Gen Z men are already saying things so misogynistic even boomers generally don't agree. And these Gen alpha boys are growing up entirely indoctrinated.

I really fear for the younger girls. I'm only 25 but the uptick in virulent misogyny in the teenagers and young boys is terrifying. Those boys will be men one day. And those girls they're talking about will grow into womanhood amongst a cohort who despises them.

Ugh, the comments:

"I'm 41 and you should have heard us in grade school and Junior High. This is nothing new."

"Seriously. Teens have always been dicks lol"

"BREAKING NEWS!! Teenage boys are dipshits!"

Is this supposed to be better? "Don't worry - teen boys have always been misogynistic!" Also, of course the one comment conveniently says "teens," not teen boys. They love to gloss over misogyny into making it a vague statement about how "people" are stupid or "people" are violent.

I don't know what kind of teen these people were, but when I was a teen, I knew plenty of teen girls who were lovely. I really don't believe teenagers are destined to be obnoxious. Yes, they lack life experience, and you should show some understanding for that. But teenagers definitely are capable of following basic moral standards. If teenage boys aren't doing that, then there's a problem.

Its literally just "boys will be boys" on repeat, forever and always.

I guess there's no need to try to teach them anything! Not like we ever tried before but why bother now?? They're just going to dehumanize girls and women forever and who gives a shit about them?? Totally normal! No problem here! Such hysteria!

No issues whatsoever with boys learning the most misogynistic bullshit in their most impressionable years in a world that's literally never treated the other sex as equals...
