Young men and relationships

And here we see one of the problems about discussing men’s problems on the internet. The discussion always gets shifted to focus on women.

Hmmm, I think there’s some confirmation bias at work here: namely, in your overlooking that that happens all the time the other way around too. Namely, discussion of women’s problems (on these boards, for example) gets shifted to focus on men.

Here’s a thread about women “incandescently angry” about paying alimony to slacker ex-husbands, which in the course of a few dozen posts shifted over to anecdotes about men paying alimony to ex-wives, and the unfair burdens that gender stereotypes place on househusbands.

Here’s a thread about the emergence of increasingly sympathetic rather than skeptical attitudes toward female rape victims, which drifted over to discussing false accusations of rape and other criminal behavior by men.

So, nah, I don’t really think that “the internet” is particularly predisposed to just ignore men’s problems or treat them as secondary to women’s problems. There has always been and continues to be a lot of interest in discussing the problems of men.
