> Manspreading and mansplaining are two light examples of calling for male harm.

Asking someone not to take up extra room on the subway is not harm. It's basic courtesy. And in reality, few people actually gripe about manspreading all day. It just seems that way with social media.

Mansplaining is the same. Outside of tumblr, I don't hear it that often. And all it means is "don't be pedantic or condescending." that's just common courtesy. Both men and women can be pedantic and condescending. This is just pointing out that men often talk town to women, and there's a dimension of discrimination that often accompanies this.

> The whole thing comes down to maleness is bad: energy, competition,

There is a problem with education generally, and boys can have a tough time, I agree. But feminists aren't causing this problem. On the contrary, most feminists I know agree that the education system hurts boys and girls in different ways. Nobody thinks having children sitting still all day and listening to lectures is a good way to learn. It's just that girls mature faster, so they can do this more easily at a young age.

I'd also be careful with associating "maleness" with energy and competition. Young girls are energetic and competitive too.

> Actually I'm worried about incels and the lost generation and all that.

Me too! I'm worried that children are not being allowed to fail by overbearing parents, and become susceptible to mental issues. I'm worried that social media, video games, and online streaming are keeping kids inside all day, when they could be hanging out with eachother. I'm worried we've built an economy where poor and working class children have no chance to get ahead. I'm worried that young boys are learning bad lessons about what it means to be a man, and turn to the manosphere for advice.

But I'm not worried at all about feminism.
