The Male Depression Industry

On society’s demand for women-hating content

A post of mine went viral on New Years Eve that had nearly 4M views.

It seemed like a basic observation to me, but it generated nuclear outrage.

Apparently if you think women are hotter now than they were in the 1920’s, you watch a lot of porn. Fascinating.

But the crazy reactions don’t stop there. The average reply sounded something like this:

“Well, at least women in the 20’s weren’t obese OnlyFans girls with tattoos who get gangbanged by black men, like they are now.”

While it’s fair to criticize recent cultural changes, this bears little resemblance to reality. Thanks to advancements in the self-care industry and a bit of pressure from Instagram, women are hotter now than they’ve ever been. The average girl is not a rampant slut. If anything, she’s romantically and sexually starved.

The MeToo movement and COVID lockdowns left many men feeling confused and defeated. These two events radically changed the dating market. Content that complains about these cultural shifts are increasingly popular, but it only compounds societal demoralization.

If men only learn about women from the Whatever podcast, Fresh & Fit, or Andrew Tate — they might actually believe their deranged projections. Sprinkle in some porn addiction, and these men are the perfect customer for the Male Depression Industry.
