It’s a Man’s World, And It Always Will Be
Time ^ | 12/16/2013 | Camille Paglia

Posted on 12/16/2013 9:38:08 PM PST by Beave Meister

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.

You have groups of women taught and trained to go out there to bring successful men down and destroy them.
You have groups taught by the feminist to even if it's a lie, to falsely accuse men of rape, or scam them of all their life savings.
I don't blame any man in this day in age to seek out a pre-nup before getting married.
Of course the court system is stacked well against men to defend them selves in divorce cases.
You can't blame men for not wanting to get married in today's world.
Christian women are no different, don't let them fool you, they are the same in this regard as the women of the world.
The reason why we don't have strong men anymore ?
It's not because the men don't want to be strong, but yet the blame is still placed on men by women anyway, no, the reason why we don't have strong men anymore is because the media, courts, the system with the feminists have won.

Yes, and the female supremacists are quite happy to have won. They are still pushing hard for more victories over their "oppressors."

Warren Farrell used to say "When one sex wins, both sexes lose." I wonder if he still believes that? Men lost. Game over. Do women consider that they have lost anything?

To anyone who wants more information about this subject, I recommend Dr. Helen Smith's book, linked in my post above.

It's sort of like a virus or parasite killing it's own source of life giving food or nutrients in it's host it's trying to do away with, in the end ? they too will lose.

It's a no win end game.

Ladies ? Stop blaming the men for men not being strong in todays world.
Stop skipping your accountability, look in the mirror, your the one's whom are at fault with no one else to blame but your selves.
Now ? are you happy with the new brave world that you ladies wanted and have built ?
The grass was not so green on the other side of the fence as you thought it was, isn't it ?

Never happen. It would require intellectual honesty, and they have no use for honesty. All you can realistically hope for is that the younger ones take a hard look at the older ones and say to themselves, "I don't want to grow up to be like that! Those women are so ugly and full of hate!"

Christopher Hitchens supported the Iraq War, hated the Clintons, and even turned against abortion. So, yes, he was evolving into conservative positions.

The shear lie and nerve of Hilliary Clinton to lecture men on how women are some how " morally superior then men "

While disappointed at first when the amneo detected a daughter, I Praised God. My daughter was born early, underweight and not healthy. She now is in college, an IQ over 150 and is going for a PHD in math & science. Not dull around here. My life is not unfulfilled! Major bullshit statement there allendale!

“Ideologue professors at our leading universities...”

Do we even HAVE any ‘leading universities’ anymore?

They’re all adolescent political palaces now.

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

Ridiculous! Those two things might not be so popular if more women would lead their men into the bedroom.

BTW, women like to go to Hooters too. And sometimes they even bring their babies.

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

No. those aren't real men. Real men understand that family and love are real and the fantasy world out there is false and destructive. Real men also understand that their children must be protected from being used as part of that "industry" and/or being victimized by it.

“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.”

That’s a shame; the Americans that are addicted to porn are being replaced by foreigners who do the natural thing...

“Yes, and the female supremacists are quite happy to have won. They are still pushing hard for more victories over their “oppressors.”

I don’t think so; any guy that wants a family can do so with an imported “replacement American” woman.

“Men lost. Game over. Do women consider that they have lost anything?”

Probably because men don’t have a biological clock, the complaints regarding the death of the American family seem to be coming from the female section. The men can either live a prolonged “young adulthood” or simply breed with an import.

" I want my man to take charge "

They do, as long as his decisions are what she wanted him to do.

True submissiveness, of course, doesn't come into play until he makes a decision she disagrees with.

I think you’re right. Feminazis, and women in general, tend to get all the blame, but there’s plenty of blame on both sexes.

The truth is that men and women follow each other. I don’t think there is any clear leader, really. Both have to strong. Both have to adapt to the other.

And if ? the whole society collapses ? guess what ?
Guess whom there so called strong female will be depending on ? yup, you guessed it, us men.
They can't defeat what God has programed into our DNA.
This crap you see in movies ? like G.I. Jane or women can do the same things that men can do ? it's just Hollywood.
Of course you have the uncommon woman doing some things that men can do, but over all ? men are physically stronger than women and women need men for that, not counting that men run more on logic than women.... it's in our DNA.
