“American men are failing in body, in mind and in spirit. This is a crisis..." ~ Tucker Carlson
Young women are surpassing men in virtually every area of life. Girls avoid drugs more than boys, play less video games, get better grades, perform better on iq tests, and attend prestigious colleges at a higher rate than boys. The average American woman is likely to live five years longer than the average American man. Men are twice as likely to die of drug overdoses and more than twice as likely to be addicted to alcohol. More than 90 percent of people in jail are men.
Men account for more than three quarters of all suicides in the U.S., and the frequency is increasing. Suicides among middle-aged American men rose 43 percent between 1997 and 2014.
Today, one in every five American children is raised by a single mother—double the rate in 1970. Millions of American children are growing up without fathers.
Chronic, widespread fatherlessnessis leading to huge societal problems. Out of the 27 deadliest mass shooters in U.S. history, 26—including Parkland shooter, Nikolas Cruz—share one thing in common: They all grew up in households without their biological fathers!
Systemic lawlessness, crime, immorality, dangerous leaders and young men who grow up to be school shooters result from the lack of true biblical masculinity.
And the “progressives” demand more. Men are not just irrelevant, they say, men are toxic. Down with patriarchy! Down with traditional family! Down with men! It’s time for women to rise!
This is exactly the dangerous, upside-down condition that the Bible prophesied...
This is a crisis! Pretending it is not a crisis won’t make it go away. Pretending that it is progress won’t make it go away.
Without strong male leadership, our society cannot survive.

Galatians 3:28.
A spiritual teaser.
The only frontier now is all digital.
Interesting Website.
That is.
Well, sure, it says that. Standard platform.
But AFAIK Russian men are reputed to be fairly chauvanistic. And I don’t recall anyone saying that women ran the USSR, or played a major part in the Party or government.
Did I miss something?
Speak for yourselves.
We need to bring back extended families. My own dad got mixed up in very bad things but I was fortunate enough to be able to hang out with my granddad and his friends.
I’ve told guys about skulking around and listening to all the fish and war stories in the evenings when the wives were off doing other things, and without exception my male friends have envied the experience I was lucky enough to have.
I think that idea can save us all, especially as we deal with automation and the globalists before we settle down to the new normal, whatever that is going to look like. The old men have survived, and they have valuable insights to pass on. Having those connections too may help them out as well as it is hard to feel useless when you have a crowd of grade school kids at your feet hanging on your every word :)
But there’s no question that the Soviet Union looked down on the traditional family.
Men are down because they are not fighting.
Men, especially the young, have been wussified.
It’s because the media, Hollywood, the universities, primary schools, and liberal society at large have treated boys and men as a “politically incorrect” sex.
One example is that Aussie woman in London and her “toxic masculinity” commercial for those idiots at Gillette. Serves them right that the parent company Procter and Gamble had to do an $8 billion right off.
Digital is the new frontier. Digital means typing. Typing is woman’s work. Women are better at typing. Women are advancing. And all they have to do is lift a finger. Guys can still drive a truck and learn how to be a Plummer. Ah yeah, what happened to manufacturing?!
It's my opinion that women are driving men away.. They want to men and they want men to be something else.. What exactly, I have not a clue.....
This is related to the reasons why Jordan Peterson, his talks, and his book 12 Rules for Life are so popular with young men.
Oh sure, but that’s because they wanted to raise the next generation to think of the state as its family and the authority in all matters. In addition to denigrating the family, the first couple generations of Communists also suppressed the Orthodox Church, but with only some success. It’s coming back, and Putin supports it.
In the US, Leftist ideology is still a mishmash of old Communist class rhetoric (which includes family suppression), but there are some new factors: there’s no need to actively suppress the Church—pederasty has so infected the Church that it has destroyed its own brand. Self-hating anti-patriotism is in vogue... even in the USSR, they fought for Mother Russia. Sexual deviancy has been promoted more than ever before (there may have always been gays, but the hormonal and surgical techniques necessary for transgenderism are more recent, as is its promotion). And, instead of a government-controlled press, we have a Deep-State-worshipping press, which if you include Hollywood and Netflix and Amazon, is far more powerful than Pravda or Izvestia.
History doesn’t repeat, but it rhymes. The key idea, both in revolutionary Russia, and for the leftists here, is to destroy any sense of order, to create chaos, because they hope they will be able to pick up the pieces and emerge as the leading faction.
Don't think that's true. But I'm not aware of the location of accurate, up to date statistics.
Anyone?
There is nothing new under the sun. Like all things, life, even for individuals is cyclical.
Hence,
“Most Men lead lives of quiet desperation”. Thoreau
They - boys and girls - fail to pass through adolescence and transition into adults. I’ve met many adolescent senior citizens who still have a child like sense of entitlement.
We’ve stolen our yutes rights of passage and hence they never learn what it means to grow up.
“They don’t live deliberately” as Thoreau opined.
Today’s young men ( and women ) fail to leave adolescence and return as full members of society cause we’ve stolen their heritage.
they “fail to leave the woods for as good a reason as they went there.” as Thoreau said. They fail to return to society ( from adolescence ) and to live deliberately in society as full grown members.
One needs a purpose greater than ones self and greater than the good of society. we as humans need to contribute.
Because no-one, especially in “modern pop culture” is teaching yutes about a how to live a “deliberate” life.
Unicorns that shit skittles and fairy tales are not fulfilling, hence angst.
People - boys and girl - need a sense of purpose and they need the journey with all its travails to find it. We’ve sheltered them from that journey and we’re paying the price for it now.
We create many of our own problems by wanting things we don’t really need and we have not bothered learning how to find what we really need.
We just want and we want it now.
All through my university education I heard the concern that “traditional” pedagogy was an obstacle to female success in education. When I dropped my daughter off as a freshman at the college I attended, the (female) RA in her dorm stated with great pride that the university was 60/40 female/male. Without a whiff of irony.
Chronic, widespread fatherlessnessis.....

Why do men die before women?
Because they want to!!!
