“Men are angry at losing their kids in the divorce and taking their dream of raising them and reducing it to a child support payments and every-other weekend. Men are angry that they have a higher chance of being audited than they do of finding a successful long term relationship. Men are angry…and our anger is justified. It’s not all directed towards women nor even at feminism, but we are angry nonetheless, and when men are angry things happen” When men become angry, things happen. Well I couldn’t give a better explanation as to what happened in and after 2016. However as our episodes will tell you, men being angry and doing things is part and parcel of any men’s movements, but since this period of time was not that long ago, it’s the one that sticks most in our minds. So we will talk about one angry boy and then many "proud" boys and then some sexually deprived boys and then some black misogynist boys.
