  1. Stop dismissing that men have problems which require addressing

A lot of people say things like "men have it the best, they don't need help!" That's nonsense. Everyone who is dealing with problems and is suffering needs help. Helping men doesn't mean you stop helping women, we should help everyone who needs help.

  1. Stop purity tests and infighting

Progressives today are truly awful when it comes to this. I'm not talking about including nazis, I'm talking about attacking people who agree with you on 90% of topics. Like if someone thinks trans people should be totally treated as the gender they express in every facet of society, except they shouldn't be allowed to compete in women's physical sports competitions.

  1. Messaging needs HUGE improvement

This is another one that progressives have a terrible problem with. They do a terrible job of letting people know how they're being helped, and they also use language that gives the impression that they're against you. For example "the patriarchy" is a terrible term that makes men feel attacked, even though that's not what it's about at all. What most people actually mean to refer to is "gender norms", meaning concepts like 'men should fuck a lot of women and not express their emotions'. "Gender norms" is a much more accurate term and it doesn't make men feel like they're being attacked.

Also I'd be rich if i had a nickel for every time a company exec said they weren't going to do a thing and then soon thereafter announced that they are going to do that thing

Ohhhhhhhhh, it was a balloon. I knew no spacecraft before or since could lift up something that size in a single trip.

Inaccurate to the point of being untrue. There are some people that won't be good back to you, but the large LARGE majority of people will be nice to you if you're nice to them.

There's a kernel of truth in there, but here it's worded as an incorrect statement. I believe the intent of the message is to say something like -

"There are some people who won't be nice to you no matter how many times you are nice to them. So don't waste your life energy trying to win them over."

It's almost a certainly that all current life on earth has the same common ancestors. It makes sense for a ton of reasons.

For example all living organism have dna, and they all use the same 4 nucleic acids that their dna is made from. Neither of those facts are necessary requirements for life to exist, so since 100% of life does both of those things then that's very strong evidence that 100% of life had a common ancestor.
