Drawing a parallel between "left talking to boys" and "my brother's keeper being originally hyper-targeting AA boys in inner city areas but then being expanded to every group under the sun" calling out why its not effective. Through the 4th wave feminist lens, anything that helps men (or a subgroup of men) alone is by definition evil. Making it all inclusive kept the name only but it lost the ability to help those in need the most. This also ignores the 100s of other interest groups that target the other demographics.

We can always make the claim that why artificially limit it to just that subgroup or why can't these specific group of men find help in the all inclusive programs we have already, but then we get back to where we started, that is "see we are talking to men".

This is also an allagory at every other attempt of the left wing lens trying to help men. Society is very quick to shove in my face "black patient with black doctors and female patient with female doctors have better outcomes" but for some reason an issue faced by men needs to be watered down or not addressed completely.

This is absolutely absurd nonsense. Good god.
