Joe Rogan. Elon Musk. Representatives of bro culture are on the ascent, bringing with them an army of disaffected young men. But where did they come from? Many argue that a generation of men are resentful because they have fallen behind women in work and school. I believe this shift would not have been so destabilizing were it not for the fact that our society still has one glass-slippered foot in the world of Cinderella.
Hundreds of years after the Brothers Grimm published their version of that classic rags-to-riches story, our cultural narratives still reflect the idea that a woman’s status can be elevated by marrying a more successful man — and a man’s diminished by pairing with a more successful woman. Now that women are pulling ahead, the fairy tale has become increasingly unattainable. This development is causing both men and women to backslide to old gender stereotypes and creating a hostile division between them that provides fuel for the exploding manosphere. With so much turmoil in our collective love lives, it’s little wonder Americans are experiencing surging loneliness, declining birthrates and — as evidenced by Donald Trump’s popularity with young men — a cascade of resentment that threatens to reshape our democracy.
When we think of Prince Charming, most of us probably picture a Disney figure with golden epaulets and great hair. In the Brothers Grimm version of “Cinderella,” he is called simply “the prince,” and neither his looks nor his personality receive even a passing mention. In fact, we learn nothing about him except for the only thing that matters: He has the resources to give Cinderella a far better life than the one she is currently living. Throughout much of Western literature, this...

Those chickens have come home to roost, and the hens are outraged at the nerve of those straight, white males!
“Those chickens have come home to roost”
Those who ruled the Karenocracy have gotten off very easily.
In less modern times men would not have been so kind.
Sounds like a childless cat lady
💯.
Yes, we'd be SO much better off committing civilizational suicide.
I guess she thinks she's immortal.
All this navel-gazing rationalization for the past month has been absolutely hilarious. The patent answer for Trump’s win is as plain as it is impossible for them to detect - because they’re just nuckin’ futz.
As far as I had to read to know that some radical leftist with XX Chromosomes wrote this. (looking at author. Yep I knew it)
Marking.
As for myself, I call it Vaginastan.

Andrew dice clay had it right.
I call my cucked nephew’s (dominated by mother, sister, wife, daughter, mother-in-law) world (California, of course) Gynocentric-ville. It’s all about stupid “girl power” with them. Yuck. Ps- I’m a woman.
As these women are being favored for promotions in some places to idealize hiring DEI expectations or to counter a male-heavy top management, it discriminates against men in those same positions wanting to move up.
In the end, this really complicates all sorts of situations.
We should hire and promote based on merit, not sex. Women and men should also be godly examples, though.

Some Cat Karen telling me
How Wrong I Am——Again!
Used to be ‘Become Yourself’
and that’s not What They Want.
What she is describing is the aftermath of 50 years of the feminist movement. They demanded and got their equality, they demanded and got their independence, they said over and over that they don’t need men, they chose the former and they did it their way. Now Men are just checking out of the dating system altogether mainly because of the feminist poisoned minds of young girls and women. They didn’t and still don’t realize that Men actually want to marry women that act like, well, Women. Why they think men want women that act like men is beyond me.
If you look around there are more single women 25 and up now than ever before in our history, they did it to themselves and men are just checking out of the whole dating, marriage, family...
For every action there is an equal but opposite reaction and they are Living it now.
Blame Disney.
And it's our fault for showing Disney movies.
I agree.
GynoCentric——Good One!
