It’s a Man’s World, And It Always Will Be

If men are obsolete, then women will soon be extinct—unless we rush down that ominous Brave New World path where females will clone themselves by parthenogenesis, as famously do Komodo dragons, hammerhead sharks, and pit vipers.

A peevish, grudging rancor against men has been one of the most unpalatable and unjust features of second- and third-wave feminism. Men’s faults, failings and foibles have been seized on and magnified into gruesome bills of indictment. Ideologue professors at our leading universities indoctrinate impressionable undergraduates with carelessly fact-free theories alleging that gender is an arbitrary, oppressive fiction with no basis in biology.

Is it any wonder that so many high-achieving young women, despite all the happy talk about their academic success, find themselves in the early stages of their careers in chronic uncertainty or anxiety about their prospects for an emotionally fulfilled private life? When an educated culture routinely denigrates masculinity and manhood, then women will be perpetually stuck with boys, who have no incentive to mature or to honor their commitments. And without strong men as models to either embrace or (for dissident lesbians) to resist, women will never attain a centered and profound sense of themselves as women.

I see Maureen Dowd jumping out of her window.

Camile Pagilia seems to be the only feminist out there who is honest with herself, the rest are all self deluded...

[2ndDivisionVet]

My favorite liberal lesbian. She has a brain.

[allendale]

Camile Paglia wishes she had a son. Women who fail to produce sons feel unfulfilled. Evolutionary and biological fact of life.

[cherry]

she is so right about strong men....we don't have enough, and the number is diminishing all the time...

I'll flip the coin though....what if we had solid, traditional men with values....would women be seeking self esteem thru feminism?....

women follow men.....where are the men leading us?....Hooters and computer sex....

Hey leftists! Have you noticed that some of your once-best-and-brightest — Camille Paglia, David Mamet, (the late) Christopher Hitchens, Mickey Kaus — either are now openly conservative or sound EXACTLY like conservatives on many subjects?

[Veto!]

...where are the men leading us?....Hooters and computer sex....

Yes, too true and very sad. Recently ended what I thought was a promising relationship with a guy who turned out to be addicted to porn. YUK.

And it's not going to get better any time soon. Earlier t his week I saw a report on Teens Addicted to Porn. Pathetic.

> (the late) Christopher Hitchens

Really? Um, source?

[OneWingedShark]

Not on him dying, I knew about that; but on him sounding like a conservative.

[TChad]

Really? Um, source?

I was mainly thinking of what he said during appearances on Hugh Hewitt back when the show could be downloaded for free, and for his strong support of the Iraq war. His former lefty buddies labeled him a neoconservative, and obviously you can Google that if you want sources.

He was certainly the farthest left in my group.

I used to have a crush on Camille Paglia.

I know she's old, and a lesbian, but her brain is very attractive.

I'd like to have a beer and a cigar with her, regardless.

It would be a hoot.

She's smarter than Ann Coulter.

So typical of modern day femninist.

They want the power, but don't want the responsibility to go with it, they want the glory but no accountability to go with it, they want to be in control but don't want to do the dirty work, or pit falls and failures that go with it.
They want to have fun, but when it comes to bad days ? blame it all on men.

" she is so right about strong men....we don't have enough, and the number is diminishing all the time... "

They are still here, it's that ? they are hamstrung by the courts, or the culture tells them that they can't assert them selves anymore, or the media constantly pushes them back into their place.
One of the most ridiculous things I have heard by even Christian women is ? " I want my man to take charge " B.S. !! the day he takes charge is when he is hailed off to jail.

[American Constitutionalist]

" women follow men.....where are the men leading us?....Hooters and computer sex.... "
Wrong, those men would not be seeking Hooters or computer sex if feminism had not come along and the feminist teaching women to withhold sex from them husbands.

Hmmmmm...sounds vaguely familiar!!!

glory without accountability;
control without failure;
fun without bad days:

Isn’t that special…

Obama!!!

Just out of curiosity, have you read Helen Smith's Men on Strike?

It's a whole new world out there.

[American Constitutionalist]

May it be that the Democrat liberal party is dominated by female thinkers and feminism ?
Once they gained power a few decades ago it has always been a battle of the sexes between the 2 political parties and the feminists are winning but according to this article they will be the losers in the end when men are gone and made extinct.

[American Constitutionalist]

True feminism has always been in it's purest form hatred of men and the war of revenge on men.

Feminist " Men ? we got you by the balls so live with it or die. " that's their true heart felt meaning.

It's all taught and ingrained into women by the feminist now to " GET BACK AT MEN AT ALL COST "
