    Also from the article:

    A cultural shift might be necessary — one that views politics as a part of people’s identity but far from the most important part. Americans’ ability to live together, quite literally, might depend on it.

    Their suggestion to enact a cultural shift that deprioritizes politics does not actually address the problems with being a chud (the misogyny being one component of that), thus having to compromise/make peace with it is the logical conclusion of their suggestion.

    Exactly. It’s the same shit of “People are so polarized these days! Why can’t they put politics aside and get along?” when the “politics” in question are where one group thinks entire swathes of people shouldn’t be allowed to exist and are working diligently to strip up of our civil and human rights. That’s not a difference of opinion, and there’s not two sides here to compromise.

    And wrt marriage, if a large group of men are going down alt-right/MRA/etc. rabbit holes, then it’s not the fault of potential partners to be completely put off by that. It’s not a difference of opinion, its a difference of morality.
