@saiku I appreciate you offering your own perspectives and experiences as a male; that's the deficit that prompted me to begin researching and writing and speaking on this issue: I realized that men had no voices in society.
Feminists have succeeded in re-engineering all of society to what amounts to an unparalleled social and historical experiment whose repercussions we've not bothered to assess. If we did, then the damage that it does to boys and men - and given the truth of a symbiotic relationship, to girls and women also - would be exposed.
But in ignoring the damage to those who face the brunt of this damage - males - and then by strategically teaching women to reflexively blame all of their as well as all other problems on men, then the nature of the experiment is never questioned. And this hideous engineering which is destroying lives and the fabric of relationships can continue uncontested.
I agree with Camille Paglia that men must be urged to speak about the effects that they are experiencing, not about their 'feelings' but about what's being done to them and what they regard as wrong and unjust. "Men must speak, and speak in their own voices, not voices coerced by feminist moralists. "
I don't think this is the work of "feminists" necessarily but the degradation of society in general. True feminists were the women who despite ridicule marched endlessly for the right to vote. Remember Andrea Dworkin who dedicated her life to feminism and wrote numerous books about her hatred of men and of pornography? Now those were feminists but they have little to do with what's going on right now. They would cringe at what currently is labelled as "feminism".
They were very far removed from the current "feminists" who post selfies on social media with self-serving comments and the 20 year old bloggers who eat up and paraphrase the garbage their professors taught them in Social Whatever 101. Everyone must always bow to their ideals (never mind they have no idea what those are yet). There doesn't seem to be any room for men who wish to choose how they act and interact in the interconnected world.
Haha...very true, there is NO room for men in this modern, interconnected world - precisely because this modern world was not designed with men in mind at all, and it is in every respect wholly inimical to men's deep preferences and needs.
Fortunately, there are men who are aware of this, and who are both sharing and living out solutions to this dilemma. There are enclaves of men on this planet who see through the bs, who've carved out niches to defy the madness, and who are reaching out to others to show them the way out. Whether this forum is the place for such men to express their insights I am uncertain of...
