We know all about the edgy ‘manosphere’ bullshit that teenage males basically get shoved down their throats these days and gladly suck up since they don’t see any alternatives, but what about women?

    UK perspective. Unironically socialism with feminist characteristics. More women support socialism than men, that translates in reality to succdem for the most part but it also translates to actual support for actual socialism as well. Entries into radical politics are typically feminist oriented, equal pay, equal holiday, time off, bodily rights, personal space/sexual assaults, etc etc.

    The big trend I see on tiktok among younger teens is girls posting videos of the catcalling and car horns they get. Some of these girls are sort of posting it as a cutesy “this is what it’s like walking around dressed as an alt-girl” type video for views and algo… But in a few years time those same girls will not look at it as cute anymore they will hate it and talk about how much they hate it and how much every grown ass man overtly sexualises 14 year old girls walking around the streets.

    This behaviour later translates to getting actually groped and inappropriately touched by gross and scarily intimidating men in nightclubs and their transition to overt feminism happens fast as fuck. I’ve known a number of pretty regular basic ass girls that, upon having their first experience of a complete and total strangers they’re not even dancing or doing anything with thinking it’s appropriate to put their hands on and in their privates unannounced in a nightclub start their path into politics and activism real quick.
