I know of a not-insignificant portion of young misogynistic guys who are angry at women their age for dating older guys instead of them. They were around even when I was the age of the guys in this article and that was a while ago. I always felt like that fed into a lot of guys buying into the Alpha Male discourse that come around later. Probably related to incels too, but not sure which came first.
I do not deny that there are lots of men who get mad about women dating other men, for lots of reasons. My issue here is with the unevidenced assertion (we don’t have the original article here) that this assault specifically is being driven primarily by that specific specie of brainworms. People like to ascribe every bad thing that happens only to their opponents, and never to flaws in their own house.
Further reasoning but CW for sensitive subjects.
If they wanted to get back at women for dating older men, they would’ve just assaulted a woman; rather than picking a fight with a male soldier who, even they would imagine, could presumably fight back.
Well, like the other Comrade said, are we really going to split hairs here? Angry men attending a private Catholic college in Massachusetts allegedly involved in the “anti-pedo” fight and totally misdirecting violence and attack an outside guy coming in to have sex with ‘one of their own’? That’s kinda textbook reactionary shit.
I really don’t think some Starbucks radlibs did this.
Also, for the record, radlibs are my opponents too.
