    It really irks me when news outlets simplify demographic groups in their headlines like this, because it fuels antipathy and conflict between groups that really shouldn’t be against each other. The problematic group here isn’t “men,” but “hyper-conservative Christian men.” Men’s issues are routinely ignored by society, and there’s so much anti-male material generated by some shitty feminists out there, this just adds to the dogpile. The problem is the misogynistic elements of Christianity (or of this particular interpretation of Christianity, if you’re feeling charitable), not men. Plenty of men are pro-choice and headlines like this one gloss over that fact and stoke a gender war that harms all involved; the only benefit is clicks for the media outlets.
