- With the rise of the loneliness epidemic and the radicalization of internet content pitting men and women against each other, it is important to seek understanding about the roots of the problem. Depending on whom you ask, you'll get a plethora of answers. Jordan Peterson describes it as some type of post-modernist feminist liberalism problem. The Andrew Tates and other conservative archetypes blame the loss of traditionalism. Others blame dating apps and its selection bias effects. The answer may be a combination of these or somewhere in the middle.

The same extends to the other groups, where speaking publicly on such matters earns weird looks at best and public shame and social exile at worst. In the current social climate, the dominant ideology is most commonly labeled as mild blue pill, occassionally with a tinge of Black Pill.
