After weeks of continuously unfolding abuse scandals, men have become, quite literally, unbelievable. What any given man might say about gender politics and how he treats women are separate and unrelated phenomena. Liberal or conservative, feminist or chauvinist, woke or benighted, young or old, found on Fox News or in The New Republic, a mans stated opinions have next to no relationship to behavior.
Through sheer bulk, the string of revelations about men from Bill Cosby to Roger Ailes to Harvey Weinstein to Louis C.K. to Al Franken and, this week, to Charlie Rose and John Lasseter, have forced men to confront what they hate to think about most: the nature of men in general. This time the accusations arent against some freak geography teacher, some frat running amok in a Southern college town. Theyre against men of all different varieties, in different industries, with different sensibilities, bound together, solely, by the grotesquerie of their sexuality.
Men arrive at this moment of reckoning woefully unprepared. Most are shocked by the reality of womens lived experience. Almost all are uninterested or unwilling to grapple with the problem at the heart of all this: the often ugly and dangerous nature of the male libido.
For most of history, weve taken for granted the implicit brutality of male sexuality. In 1976, the radical feminist and pornography opponent Andrea Dworkin said that the only sex between a man and a woman that could be undertaken without violence was sex with a flaccid penis: I think that men will have to give up their precious erections, she wrote. In the third century A.D., it is widely believed, the great Catholic theologian Origen, working on roughly the same principle, castrated himself.

Correct.
Wow, I’m speechless.
I’ve been thinking about sexual politics on college campuses. With the so called “rape culture” and the demands for “safe spaces”.
Well you know.....for decades there were safe spaces on campus where women could be free from the unwanted attention and opinions of men.....they were called WOMEN’S DORMS.
The Social Justice Warriors demand that those in authority better monitor relations between male and female students to ensure that women aren’t taken sexual advantage of....guess what? For generations there have been people whose job has been exactly that....they were called CHAPERONES!
The SJWs say men should be taught not to rape. That’s funny...I seem to remember that there was a philosophy of male behavior which did just that...this philosophy was dominant in Western Civilization for a 1000 years up until the last 50 or so and it taught men to see women as objects of love rather than lust....it was called CHIVALRY!
But now that the “progressives” have torn all that down they look around and are SHOCKED!...SHOCKED! I SAY! at the consequences...
....idiots....
Liberals can’t accept human nature as it is, especially human economic behavior. They consistently cast human nature in terms of a utopian ideal that has nothing to do with reality, then they’re shocked by the the truth.
I’d post a picture of Andrea Dworkin but I don’t want to get banned for life here on FR.
Masculinity is good. It does great good. Libs are confusing masculinity with lust. There is a difference.
“Liberal or conservative, feminist or chauvinist, woke or benighted, young or old, found on Fox News or in The New Republic, a mans stated opinions have next to no relationship to behavior.”
What this sneaky little bastard is doing here is to claim as fact that conservatives are as bad as liberals, chauvinists as bad as feminist men, et cetera.
There is proof of some of the accusations against leftards, and others are credible.
None of the accusations against a conservative are even credible, much less proven.
Lying scumbag.
Just saw something from the slimes that states if left to it, men would kill their dads and rape the mom? I probably read it wrong but I know its out there. I have to wonder where this is leading and where it ends.
Totally agree. It seems to be getting worse everyday.
What a load of crap. “Woke or benighted” “Post Weinstein era”, total gibberish trying to pass itself off as intellectual discourse.
You have to ask yourself what the point of this article is. Surely the Slimes knows that nobody with any testosterone in their blood at all is going to read this and do anything but laugh derisively. It’s not news, so it must have some purpose to further the libtard agenda. But I’m not seeing it.
White cisgender men are the disease.
Homosexuals, transexuals, and liberals can commit whatever offense they want to.
This journalist is merely one of the million monkeys banging type-writers in pursuit literary immortality that make up the pool from which the editors pull their stories.
You would think those editors would know to throw the young ones back in.
As to the content: he is right. Masculinity can be toxic if it is not restrained by cultural strictures— like chivalry. These constraints are the very thing they despised most, and which they destroyed first.
The problem for them is that the most egregious violators come from their own ranks. They cannot accept any blame or acknowledge that removing a keystone from the edifice brought this about. They cannot question their own precepts and the resulting demoralization now evident—especially within their own side.
What to do then? Generalize. Blame it on some dark universal shadow-force. Make everybody guilty—and simultaneously innocent.
>>PIV is always rape, ok?
How queer that the radical lesbian feminazi cult instructed young women to experiment with same sex relationships and shun men. Almost like they were being groomed by their angry lesbian masters.
“A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle” (absolutely useless)
Stephen Marche, it’s time to correct some linguistic activism that too many gullible people have swallowed. When anal sex is forced on men or women, it’s forcible sodomy—not “rape.”
Forcible sodomy. It’s worse than rape.
Brutal!
4chan/pol?
This article can be summed up as a bunch of nonsensical psychobabble written by a fag who views normal male sexuality as a disease upon society.
