The wussification of Amerika continues....

[Ouderkirk]

The world today teaches males at a young age that women have “options”, men have obligations.

I went Galt 15 years ago.

I work alone now.

Well if you take away our ability to do our jobs of being Men and Father’s and tell us we are going to do it the woman’s way then no wonder blokes hang out the ‘Gone Fishing’ sign. If I didn’t love my wife and kids so much I would have gone outside and spent my entire life in the shed or bought a decent boat and gone fishing.

Society has collapsed. Civilization is dying. The future is going to be very grim. That’s “progress”

It’s a stupid and myopic analysis that takes this long ( that part excerpted) to mention religion, if it gets around to it at all. Remember Max Weber?

[Gene Eric]

>> The wussification of Amerika continues....

I agree. These anecdotes depict the craven.

I was taught that men have obligations, and I was eager to embrace them.

Old school, but what the heck.

Thanks 2D...a few years ago people wondered why fewer men were in college.....now we know...men are not welcome...

From the article: “The rewards for men in the fields of marriage, education, career, and fatherhood are just a lot less than they used to be, and the cost and dangers are just a lot higher. So they’re opting out, and whether people want to believe this or not, it’s happening.”

Yup. Women tend to forget that older men talk to younger men.

I find all the hubbub over homosexual state marriage to be a bit surreal: the real issue that will affect society in the future is that heterosexual men are abandoning it in droves.

Naaah. That's Hope and Change.

[Secret Agent Man]

white men in particular.

Same here. Have my own company and my biz partner owns a minority. I was self-motivated after working for more than dozen jobs were my bosses were either morons or control freak feminazis who couldn’t get laid so they vent their frustration on me as a dude. Said I could do a better job..and I did.

Imagine if we ever developed a fully function male and female android? You could program it to be the dream “hunk” or “hunkette” of your dreams. You could have him or her built to your specification and would not have to bother with those messy human emotions that screw up so many things. Now that would put a lot of humans out of work as the progenitors of future generations. We'd probably have to go to in vitro fertilization and procreate as in “Brave New World”.

[Talisker]

American females no longer want men, they want boys. So men are letting them have what they want. What they are upset about that real men still exist who don’t need them. THAT is intolerable, and must be destroyed.

[2ndDivisionVet]

For one thing, men don’t need it as much as women, except for the professions. I can’t tell you how many male high school dropout or just grads I know or have known who were millionaires. Know many rich females without a degree?
