""See what you made me do!"
Are you willfully ignoring the literal oppression of gay people that was part of the conservative "brand" and identity, and a literal component of McCarthy era right wing oppression?
Consider the conditions that existed in the pre-Stonewall era, and contrast these to everything we hold as "Men's rights" issues today.

Thought for the moment:
The difference between the right and left is not great, but there is one.
The right would happily kill anyone who doesn't embrace its lifestyle and values, but at least that means that there is someone, somewhere, that they wouldn't happily kill. The left, on the other hand, perpetually eats its own, perpetually radicalizing itself and purging people for holding positions which were last year's mainstream leftist thought.
This means you cannot be a friend to the left. Not "should not", not even "must not", but CAN NOT. No matter how much you comply with them, it will never be enough, they will find an excuse to hate you, shun you, cancel you, and eventually kill you.
It is much safer to be their enemy, because at least then you can band together with their other enemies and fight them.

"See what you made me do!" is the war cry of sociopaths everywhere, since the beginning of time.
The left is responsible for its own actions.

The lefty loonies co-opted "gender" a couple decades back as yet another Trojan horse in the culture war.
My position on the whole thing is that "the Right" EARNED the state of cultural affairs they find themselves in, by actually BEING the party of active homophobia for decades running. Arguably, official and mainstream Right Wing branded policies and procedures did worsen the extent and the social and financial impact of the AIDS epidemic. For all the talk of individual liberty and self-determination, "the Right" made it a central part of its "brand identity" to pit themselves as enemies of the gay community in the name of "Family Values." They long went out of their way to set up legal obstacles and break up families.
The culture war you attempt to dismissively blame came about in RESPONSE to long entrenched and partisanized oppression of gay people. Some of the same obstacles straight men face in family court today were normalized and strengthened when originally applied against the gay subculture.
"First they came for the gays, but I didn't speak up because I wasn't gay. By the time they came for me, there was nobody left to speak up."

@SeasonedRP Idiots do dispute it, making pushback necessary. Most people aren't willing to stick their necks out on anything, making an illusion of consensus easy to manipulate into existence, but also easy to break.

@woodsmoke Heretic or not, whenever this type of viewpoint makes it into MSM, it helps break any illusion of consensus. Right now is an opportunity to keep the spotlight on this issue by sharing and spreading it through whatever channels we have available to us.

A couple corrections (trying again, made a mistake in last correction)
$48MM profit for Q4 2022 (up from a ~$150MM loss 2021 Q4)
This is correct.1 year since the original squeeze.
It's actually been 2 years since the squeeze (Jan 2021).
