Minorities and queer folks are absolutely missing representation, as a socialist queer person.
My comments have nothing to do with the imbalanced incarceration and vilification of men and everything to do with the thousands, possibly millions of role models men can choose to learn from.
I grew up with all male role models because we just didn’t talk about major female contributions in school, and most women in fiction were relegated to side characters and love interests. No, it’s not a competition to see who has it worse, it’s a fact that citing incel talking points is not helping men see the world of potential beyond whatever “couple piece of shit role models” you’re talking about.

I mean yeah, you’re right. Reading your og comment just sounded like you were placing the blame on men and making it a non-issue again.
The couple of piece of shit role models I’m talking about are the “manly men alpha males” and their counterparts. I think we all know the type.
Those aren’t the only role models out there, their existence doesn’t erase others.
I was calling out the idea that there are no male role models and did not in any way blame men for anything.
