This article at Breitbart is spot on about how America and Europe are essentially countries under Amazonian occupation; feminists dominate the institutions of law, academia, and Government and are using their positions of power to degrade and ultimately destroy masculinity.
Marriage is dead. Divorce means you’re screwed for life. Women have given up on monogamy, which makes them uninteresting to us for any serious relationship or raising a family. That’s just the way it is. Even if we take the risk, chances are the kids won’t be ours. In France, we even have to pay for the kids a wife has through adulterous affairs.
Social commentators, journalists, academics, scientists and young men themselves have all spotted the trend: among men of about 15 to 30 years old, ever-increasing numbers are checking out of society altogether, giving up on women, sex and relationships and retreating into pornography, sexual fetishes, chemical addictions, video games and, in some cases, boorish lad culture, all of which insulate them from a hostile, debilitating social environment created, some argue, by the modern feminist movement.
In schools today across Britain and America, boys are relentlessly pathologised, as academics were warning as long ago as 2001. Boyishness and boisterousness have come to be seen as “problematic,” with girls’ behaviour a gold standard against which these defective boys are measured. … Boys are falling behind girls academically, perhaps because relentless and well-funded focus has been placed on girls’ achievement in the past few decades and little to none on the boys who are now achieving lower grades, fewer honors, fewer degrees and less marketable information economy skills. Boys’ literacy, in particular, is in crisis throughout the West. We’ve been obsessing so much over girls, we haven’t noticed that boys have slipped into serious academic trouble.
But why are we, as men, letting this happen? Why is there a phenomenon of men withdrawing into videogames and pornography instead of fighting back?
A simple answer is, pleasure 24/7, is more important and a whole lot easier than leading responsible lives.
Agree. Everyone has an Achilles’ heel, in terms of the thing that will give them pleasure intense enough to wreck their lives or at least draw them away from full engagement in life. For some, that’s alcohol or drugs and for others, it’s videogames or pornography or rage or eating, etc.
The second reason would be that nobody wants to look like the Bad Guy, and/or everyone has been infected by an idea “men deserve it”. The feminists/Left have succeeded in framing the debate (or defining the concepts) in such a way that men are under suspicion automatically – especially men who don’t agree with the feminist line. Men (and their female allies) need to “frame the debate back”.
Jeff what greater power do leftists and women seek other than to meddle in others lives? Taking salt shakers from NYC restaurants is better than an 8 way for women. Evil seeks power over others. It sees the rest of world as evil and wants to dominate or destroy it. Anything that does not fit into leftist utopian visions is viewed as heresy, even a gay married couple sharing a 20 ounce soda in NYC.
On a serious note Vox Day covered the lack of books that boys would want to read. http://www.voxday.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-best-books-of-2014.html
He theorizes that women like to talk about books while men like to talk about the ideas in books, & that books are written to appeal to girls.

Ever hear of “going Galt?”
For decades, the feminists have been saying, “A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle!” OK, fine. The bicycle has decided it really has no use for a fish, either. So more and more men are withholding their sperm, wallets and–most importantly–their attention from women. Guess we’ll eventually see who needs who.
Yay! More hot guys for me.
Come-right-on-in guys, the gay bar is always open…
Fems are against marriage and having kids so are Don Juans

I have noticed this longer than just 2001. Watch TV commercials. When there is a good product or method of doing something, the lead is a woman. The man is the one doing something wrong, has the lesser product or is the boob. That cuts across racial lines too. A commercial with a white and non white has the white with the lesser product, etc. Also commercials now show girls much more so than boys whenever a commercial features a child regardless of the product. Health segments on TV news almost always feature women’s health issues. I have seen this since the early 90’s. Much of what I write is anecdotal but watch TV, regular TV not internet streaming and you will see this.
I think our schools are currently designed so that girls find he most success while boys lag. From curriculum choices to the structure of the school day boys are at a disadvantage.
Stats indicate that a higher percentage of girls graduate at the top of their classes and boys are often lagging at the bottom.
I have noticed with my own children that my girls thrived in school and both graduated valedictorian of their class. My boys (who are IMO smarter IQ wise) aren’t failing but neither will graduate first in their class and both find much of what they do in school boring and uninteresting. The classes are designed to the strength of the girls (social studies classes don’t evaluate with tests-all major grades are papers or projects like posters-my boys test well and would rather have a test any day over a paper or project).
I think our current educational model is designed for girls to succeed and if that design means boys fail nobody seems to care (outside of a few voices).
@ V the K: You wonder why young men are apparently dropping out of society? Because society has made it clear that it has nothing but contempt for them, but still expects them to support it. So, some young men have decided that they will stop putting in to society. I’m not sure I can blame them.
Church Mouse Republican-you’re right about men often being the boob on TV. One of he things that drives me nuts about TV the last 15 to 20 years or so is the portrayal of the father as incompetent, ignorant or clueless while mom is smart and comes to the rescue. My husband and I have been married 23 years and have 4 kids. While he may not do things the way Inwould do them he certainly can and has taken care of our children without starving them or getting them where they needed to go. I have left him for a few days and Indidnt come home to a disaster in my house. He took care of our children just as competently as I would of any other parent.
I like the line that the Bicycle has decided it no longer needs the fish, and will steal it shamelessly.
And now in recent months two of the few ” great TV dads ” and exemplar male role-models have been exposed as potentially a serial sexual predators, two-faced hypocrites and total, and alleged raging psychopaths.
@ Ted B.: An acquaintance of mine once noted to me that the purer something appears, the better the chance that it is rotten to its core. White sepulchers, and all that.

And Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince died earlier this year, so that's another great TV dad who bit the dust.
