I'm betting most of them will.

Until then "Now it seems like it’s mostly young men who are largely motivated by anger upon discovering that there’s nothing they can do to obligate a woman to have sex—much less a relationship—with them, and instead of investing in personal change that makes it likelier women will want to, they instead spend hours online trying to minimize rape and sexual harassment as a kind of broad revenge against women. Subsequently, the points of obsession have moved from being angry about child support to being angry at anyone who suggests that sexual harassment is the fault of harassers. " rings dismally true, as it did when I was that age and checked out dating prospects and retreated into books.

The second group is the male over 51, probably embittered by divorce and finding out once again he wasn't going to be allowed to call all the shots in his ex wife's life.

Neither group sees women as human. The young ones have the potential to snap out of it. The old ones are pretty much hopeless.
