Ah yes, only men lack motivation these days. This is clearly a gender thing and not because capitalism is making life more unbearable for everyone over time. Didn't you know women are super motivated and happy at the moment? Being a woman is so easy!

I'm sure low military recruitment is because it's so hard to be a man these days, and not because of things like America being not worth fighting for and a country that abandons it's people and there being no future because of climate change.

Life under late stage capitalism is hell for everyone, but sure, blame women.

There is a subset of 4chan incels who genuinely believe that being a woman is "living life on tutorial mode."

doncha think this precise, narrow set of conditions and behaviors emerging in middle-20th-century suburbia are the pinnacle of achievement? that this is as good as it gets forever? dorncha wanna die for our way of life???

Must be some crisis brought on by drifting away our gender existentialist mythology, yeah, yeah definitely that, pay no attention to our inability to articulate a positive vision of the future
