And I would say that a lot of this is fueled by social media too.

And again, the amount of time that people spend on social media in this moment.

Like if

If you're on YouTube and you're watching sort of, I don't know, what might be considered male-centered videos, right?

Like you're watching sports clips or whatever.

It doesn't take you very long for the algorithms to suddenly take you to like Andrew Tate or some like dating advice guru who tells you that...

You know, like women only want one thing or women only want men who are 666.

And also all women are constantly sleeping around and are untrustworthy.

And, you know, you can call women foids and whatever, all of this stuff.

I know.

My brain is rotted from researching this.

You know, this idea that women only date men who are 666.

six feet tall make or over make six figures and have a six pack or something else um but like all these stereotypes about women that are false first of all but make them seem like the enemy who you're sort of always fighting with and have to control and demeaning um

And then women on the other side are often getting a lot of advice about, or a lot of conversation, we could say, about how bad the patriarchy is and how, you know, unsafe relationships can be and how many, you know, narcissists there are out there.

And so they're like, I don't want to deal with that either.

So both of the sexes are sort of in opposition to each other and end up, because they're not spending time in person...

you know, taking in these stereotypes and avoiding each other even further.

Lots of doom loops.

Yeah, no, I think shadowboxing is like the exact correct term, actually.

Like men are arguing with other men about women who they are not in contact with.
