I agree that the parents could pick up some slack but as a society we should make things easier for parents.

In itself while the article is about children but I think at this point it's clear there's a large if not larger segment of adults falling for this stuff. e.g. Conservative who despise taxes but they love Trump who with tariffs is taxing the hell out of people.

We're really talking about children and people who have the mental capacity of children.

    Basically all of this misogynistic comes from the Internet, and it's all on the parents that they gave their kids free access to the Internet.

    At this point you vant be THAT naive to think that the internet is a place of rainbows and unicorns.

    Kids under 18 need to have obligatory limited access to the Internet with everything monitored. I'm sure I'll be down voted to hell for this but this is also the single solution to the single problem. No, kids don't need cellphones in school, or at all of you ask me. Make cell phones have age requirements that only gets excepted in special school classes where kids learn how to use the Internet responsibly.

    Also hammer down hard on misogynistic content. Governments can hammer down on copyrighted content, they can hammer down on this too. No, this does not directly include sex kink sites (women go there too), yes, this includes any and all incel and "how to become a real man by being an asshole subs, sites, channels, content creators, etc.

    Either way, you can't just give kids full Internet access and them be completely Pikachu surprised face when these kids see fucked up content.

    I've been telling this for over twenty years now, maybe someone will finally listen when it's way too late?
