In Defense of Men
Spiked Review ^ | July 2018 | Brendan O'Neill

"At root, today’s attack on men is really an attack on the aspiration to self-governance, which is an aspiration shared by individuals of every gender, race and class. The cult of fragility and self-abasement might be attractive and even socially beneficial to a small strata of the literary middle classes, like Webb, but it is generally viewed as repulsive by the population at large...And so people resist it, whether by being men or by being strong women — that is, by being individuals who, through ‘the operations of intelligence and will’, might command their lives and impact on their communities."

When was the last time a woman fixed your car, your air-conditioning, your plumbing, your computer, picked up your trash, remodeled your house or carried you out a window during a fire?

Exactly. Men are the backbone of this nation especially regarding the infrastructure and all the really dirty jobs in this country. When is the last time you saw a woman doing roadwork unless she was holding the “Stop/Proceed Slowly” sign?

I thank God for men who literally built this nation.

Every time that I have seen a woman on a road construction crew she has been doing the work that requires no physical exertion.
