    And? That doesn’t change the fact that these spaces have inherently been beaming out “no boys allowed” for ages and then wondering why so many young men head elsewhere.

    Our enemies’ tactics and financial backing doesn’t absolve us of responsibility for our own shortcomings.

      I disagree that that’s what they’ve been doing. That’s what reactionaries often characterize them as doing

        Given the entire OP image and many of these comments, I really think you should reconsider.

        I’m not saying it’s intentional or malicious, but there is a messaging and communication problem that is strongly contributing to ease at which the alt-right pipeline is recruiting teens and young men.
