Important to note that in test 1, they never recorded any results either way. In test 2, they...only used university students for their test group. A test about how unskilled, uneducated people have poor self assessment skills. Their test group lacked anyone outside the education sphere, totally missing the point.

Yeah it's odd. I've never heard of people mocking others because they are single (apart in very conservative groups, where there is a strong pressure on women for making babies as per their function and only reason to exist, and where men are judged by creepy macho values). But incels being mocked, well, yes, and thankfully as it's truly a nasty, horrible little bunch. Who has very little to do with being single, actually.
Personally, I'm tired of people trying to bring neurodivergence into this, and frankly I'm not sure why you'd even want to as it completely undermines your argument.
You can't really claim to be speaking for neurodivergent men while also arguing that standardized testing should be taken as a neutral measurement of merit, for example. Our problem isn't that people don't like us or don't want to fuck us. Our problem is that we're expected to live and act and function like neurotypical people, in a world designed around the needs of neurotypical people, when we don't work the same way and have completely different needs.
You are operating on the assumption that equality means everyone being treated the same and given the same opportunities (an equal piece if the "pie"). That may ultimately be true in regards to ethnicity, but it's not true in regards to neurodiversity at all.
Well, dunno how it works in reality so much, but pop culture loves making jokes about men who are single, or who are single for more than X times, or haven't had sex before reaching Y age.
I take offense to that. I'm male and not in a relationship. That means I'm a bachelor but sure as hell not an incel.

Oookay? I haven't been exposed to the same pop culture I assume. And haven't been socialized with such things as a concern or matter of thought. The only things I can think of is an american comedy titled the something-years old virgin, which, apparently, treats it as a plot point. And some jokes about geeks having super strong opinions on life and women without having had any sentimental experience, but that's (like incels) more about their attitudes and worldviews. A bit like the silliness of having a pope voicing opinions on condoms.
But again, I was never much into American college comedies (or coming of age anime, and stuff), so maybe there's a whole echo chamber for the idiots who concern themselves with that. And make it a competition?
That's pretty trashy in my opinion. Stupid outside factors in sentimental life, twisting purposes. But also, I know that rape culture on American campuses is rooted in peer pressure and expectations, so I can see some people having interest in promoting such values.
OK. I don't really think that's a very reliable way to come to conclusions about "lefty activists, college admin officers, and the Biden administration".
Oh Jesus Christ, what the fuck do you care about what probably the third most embarrassing subgroup of humanity has to say or think about anything?
College admissions officers and Biden administration members are on TikTok, ridiculing Asians and single men in their professional capacity?
I, uhrm, don't believe you.
Influencers that voted for Biden and are aligned with Biden are. Also many BIPOC people are making fun of Asians and especially this person saying he should have gotten a 1600, was boring, etc. but no it’s not in their professional capacity.
It's not that I'm unsympathetic to potential racism against Asians by any means, but I think you have to appreciate a certain hierarchy of concerns. People (usually, and probably in this case) from very affluent families not getting into the most elite of elite universities comes across a bit 'first world problem' to other people who are more concerned with mass poverty and being arbitrarily shot by the cops.
Their sympathy might be particularly dampened when, according to news reports, the court case said super-student is launching will potentially dismantle systems designed to support attainment of students that experience high levels of social disadvantage.
So not college admissions officers or members of the Biden administration, then.
But that is the problem, isn't it ?
Regularly being confronted with racism from one side and an attitude of "your problems are a secondary concern" from the other, supposedly anti-racist side makes people eventually conclude that they are on their own. And not particularly care anymore about collateral damage pursueing their interest.
I won't say that is right, But it is an extremely common pattern with groups who are marginalized but not at the bottom of the pecking order.
