The problem for a lot of men is that their livelihood depended on them being quiet and deferential. Even today a man can lose his job for just being blunt and honest in the workplace. In the court room they can lose their children. Our nation has become so feminized that it is dangerous for men to be men in public. While I agree with his premise, I understand how hard and dangerous it will be for men to win back the rightful place in society that they gave away over the last 40+ years.

Left to right: Gay, Goofy, Pimp.

That looks like the crap the fashion industry tried to shove down our throats in the 1970s ... without success.

What happened is technology. It used to be that you needed manly strength to do a lot of things and make a living.

With the advent of computers and machinery that has made brute force much less necessary, women have been able to enter the workforce and make a living like men, so the dependency on man has pretty much disappeared - thanks to all the inventions of men.

Another technology that has liberated women is all the different birth controls. This has given them control of if and when they want to have kids.

Bottom line, the technology invented and built my men has allowed women to now compete with men on a fairly equal footing in pretty much all jobs including high level decision making jobs.

As a result this has had a very significant effect on the quality of these decisions.

Women tend to make decisions more based on emotions, men instead rely more on rationality and analysis of long term cause and effect.

Thus we’re just beginning to see the (bad) consequences of women getting into high level decision making positions.

Question is, how will this end?

But those unhappy, liberal women exert a lot of power in society. Probably more than their numbers should justify. But wield it they do. And they are set to continue to. In college and every graduate program except STEM women out number in huge margins.

I lean toward that as well. Masculinity still dominates that culture.

The other candidates might be the Chinese or Russians, though they’re vulnerable to the same effects that is doing us in.

If the Muslims do not set up shop immediately there will be invasions across the borders. Civilization collapse typically follows a series of phases that roughly progresses through Anarchy, Feudalism, Monarchy, Enlightenment, Democracy/Republic, Bounty, Complacency, Collapse. It is an interesting topic that has good coverage in scholarly circles.
