I'm saying this as someone who's left-leaning himself. And I'm talking about internal disagreement here. I'm not talking about disagreements with conservatives or the MAGA crowd. I'm personally strongly anti-Trump and anti-MAGA but that would be a completely different discussion.

What I'm talking about is that the left has become extremely intolerant towards other people on the left. These days you really can't have any sort of slight disagreement with other people on the left on many issues, without them freaking out, becoming enraged and throwing insults at you.

For example even if you're anti-Trump and you're anti-MAGA, but you dare to have a slightly nuanced opinion on mass migration you're immediately the enemy. And if you dare to criticize Islam that's a huge no-no of course. Islam MUST NOT be criticized within left-wing/left-leaning spaces. If you criticize Islam you're immediately branded as a racist who hates brown people. Same if you have a slightly differing view on DEI and affirmative action. If you criticize those concepts even in the slightest be prepared to be labeled a racist nazi white supremacist. And you MUST NOT criticize gender ideology under any circumstances. And there's all sorts of other stuff that just cannot be criticized under any circumstances according to those on the modern left.

And I'm saying that as someone who's left-leaning, and who's extremely opposed to Trump and MAGA. I could write a very long essay about everything that I despise in Trump and the modern conservative movement. But that's not the point of my post here. My point is that the modern left is hurting themselves by having become so extremely intolerant of internal dissent. If the modern left wants to regain broad popular support again, first of all they need to work on how they approach honest discussion and internal disagreements.

It's absolutely sad and ridiculous how extremely hostile and intolerant the modern left has become toward internal disagreement.

I have been seeing some videos from female YouTubers talking about how men don't interact with women in the same way due to all of the potential consequences (e. g. being called a creep, MeToo, losing a job, reputation damage). These YouTubers seem to understand that it's by the above reasons, but I don't really hear from any young women in real life having these views. So I want to gauge how common this belief is.

I'd also like to know how your beliefs progressed overtime. For example, maybe you started as a modern feminist and transitioned after learning more; or you never agreed with modern feminism.

All of this information will be used to gauge how likely it is I will get married, since I have no intention of marrying a modern feminist.

It just seems like that's the way it is in modern dating thanks to dating apps and social media. Girls are flooded with matches and messages when they sign up for a dating app and it is pretty common for her to have over 100 matches in less than 24 hours after creating her profile. They also get a ton of DM's from guys via social media too. For a guy on the other hand, it is common for him to only get around 10-20 matches in less than 24 hours after signing up for a dating app and most of the girls that match with him either don't respond or their convo won't go far before it fizzles out. Guys have said it can take over a month just to get one first date from a dating app and most of the time there is no second date because the girls have such a big selection of guys they're talking to. Guys also never get DM's from girls on social media obviously and when they try to DM a girl, she's getting so many other messages from guys alongside his that he never gets a response. All of this considered, it seems like it has never been easier for a girl to meet a guy in the modern dating era, but it is harder than ever for a guy to meet a girl. Agree or disagree?
