This is one of those areas though, where I think that men would benefit from considering how patriarchy hurts them as well. If anything Technology should liberate men from our hierarchical economy and free them up to be more self-actualized, but our understanding of manhood is imbedded in an archaic and rapidly disintegrating economy.

How should men adjust? How do you think they will?

I think like a lot of subgroups, it helps to reinforce and exacerbate problems.

If you believe all women are evil scheming liars, going to forums where people post news articles about lying women, share anecdotes about lying women, and rally around people who can articulate those ideas better than they can...well you know what happens.

I think the only reason this hasn't boiled over more is that social media is still MEDIA, meaning that the social experience is still being filtered and translated. It's not like a German beer hall in the late 1920's, where you can actually be affected by real social cues, and and actually cajoled into smashing some heads.

ISIS can recruit people online to actually go fight for them, but think about the size and finances of that organization. I think the only reason we don't see MRA's out in more force is that these websites are still relatively small.
