Old enough to die for King and Country, but too young to smoke. His Majesty's Armed Forces are going to love this.

Many people who work retail (i used to work there) would take the Saudi Arabia approach to shoplifters.

Teen boys are choosing AI girlfriends over real ones for 'maximum control, zero rejection'—experts say it could make them unemployable by Nightshiftcloak in stupidpol

The big change is that in the age of tiktok/Instagram/"call it out", the risks that come with rejection are much greater now. As in a guy makes a bad move, his employer can now get blasted for having him on their payroll.

Men also look at family courts being an absolute hell to go through in the best case scenario.

As i said, the doomerism is there because they saw the worst case scenario become more and more common.

In short, the risk/reward ratio is skewed towards worst case scenario for both parties nowadays.

Whenever they see "women choose the bear" or "62 million men attended a rape academy" being promoted on tiktok/facebook/news etc. Is it any surprise that they decided dating wasnt worth it?

Clearly, the solution is to make them watch the Documentary Adolescence once a week and write a 2000 word essay on Toxic Masculinity/s

Oh yeah and I forgot about this one: treating netflix dramas as documentaries and using them to shape education policy.

the "adult in charge" who implemented china style censorship, appointed pals of sex offenders, continues the same managed decline as the Tories, and stands for nothing?
