Small-Scale Question Sunday for March 19, 2023

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

I thought the latest panic was that young women were hardest hit and want to leave their marginalized group. Grass is greener I suppose.

“Why is the trans movement trying to be all things to all people?”

I haven’t seen ‘leaving their marginalized group’ as the explanation so much as ‘puberty is awkward and difficult and the trans memeplex is overpowering’.

Are you implying this is not happening? The data is pretty clear on that.

No it's just annoyed commentary on the perspective that the problems of women are society's and men's problems are their own, plus a request to keep the explanations parsimonious, or failing that, non-contradictory.

I think that's two different hypotheses describing two different phenomena. Teenage girls suffering from a mass psychogenic illness. Men trying to outwit radical feminism and intersectionalism.
