Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You know, it'd be real nice, if the first comment on a posted article about how men are being pigeonholed and stereotyped into Raging Right Wing Misogynist Dipshits™️despite the fact that most younger men are in fact far more progressive than older men.... wasn't pigeonholing men into raging misogynists.
Are you wrong? not really. But that doesn't make this the place to share that particular "message." Actually. it kind of makes it the dumbest place to share it.
which, point of fact, is exactly what this article is talking about.
some highlights from the article:
It goes on to talk about specific issues affecting men. it's a very good read. You should read it.
(Edit, tidied the quote for formatting.)
I did read it.
Two mental health bills are currently stalled in Congress.
Guess which party is holding them up and which party sponsored them?
So you read it and still felt like bitching about men not supporting women?
(naw. I don't really believe you. Also, what has two stalled bills that don't really address the issues being faced? oh. by the way. the article mentions more bills that do. Details.)
