Nope. I can't accept that. If a man has thought about male/female relationships enough to think he's being treated poorly and unfairly by women...then he's considered the issue.
He may have pulled a Scarlet O'Hara and decided to think it through another day, but he has considered it.
He may be like me and others who can see both sides somewhat but lean in more one direction from personal experience or because he's simply affected by one side more because he's that gender. But you can't say he hasn't considered it.
If he's overly anxious about dating and relationships, he's considereditt.
His consideration of it might be mostly subconscious and avoidant but you can't get through life as a human being without considering other human beings as individuals, small groups, large groups, and humanity as a whole.
Sooner or later there's a thought in there considering how you relate to other human beings and how you fit in with humanity.
And no, I was not claiming the internet as a source, certainly not the only one. I specifically said it's an indictation of where energy is going and we can see this play out in the body politic. And it is. What laws regarding women's role and place in society are currently being passed. What are we seeing as the result of those laws? We're seeing a political push toward the return to coverture laws. The fact that you personally arent paying attention to that doesn't mean it isn't happening or doesn't have energy behind it. Far too many men are bobble heading along with Influencer types like Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson and turds like Elon Musk without considering the consequences to themselves because controlling women makes them feel validated as a man.
I do agree with you that many men don't seem to be thinking it through, that's just not the same as having never having had a single thought about it in your entire life. Since how men and women treat each other is tied to the pursuit of sex for both, I think it's clear men and women have both thought about it in at least some facet.
Whether or not men make the jump from "Damn! Getting laid is hard!!" to "Why are women so distrustful of men, down on us, and why don't they all want to date anymore?" is another question.
Just out of morbid curiosity, if you're not wanting a return to how things were, how is it you want to be treated by women that you're not getting now? Both in general and dating/relationships?
