I don’t know anyone who is gloating about these unemployment numbers. It’s clearly a crisis for young men in the workforce and it’s a bad indication for everyone. There’s no positives there for anyone.
I’m glad you don’t know anyone doing this. To be fair, I’ve not heard much of it IRL.

I’m glad you confirmed it is fringe extremists you’ve seen saying this and not women at large.
