After the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation battle, should American men be afraid?
NBC News ^ | Oct.08.2018 | Lynn Stuart Parramore

In the heat of Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation battle, President Donald Trump stoked fears of an all-out gender war: "It is a very scary time for young men in America,” he warned at a recent press conference, “where you can be guilty of something you may not be guilty of.”

Hopefully men will turn out in droves and vote Republican.

Hire men is correct but not mandating quotas for women on company boards.

Only white men. Or as they’re lovingly called, “white boys”.

A woman is going to lecture me about what it’s like to be a man in America?

Is she somehow an expert?

What is she basing her opinion on?

It's 7 AM here in California and I have been at the office for an hour. Last week I ended up working 7 days. Didn't get Columbus Day off yesterday. Where's this "unfair advantage" I keep hearing about?

Yes, it is infuriating. When the "white priviledge" crap started, I wrote a post about my hubby. His white priv involves getting up at 4:00 am five days a week. Rides his exercise bike, has a hard boiled egg for breakfast and is off. Gets to sit on a crowded bus for nearly an hour, walk a few blocks to get to his job; and, the privilege just contines for the rest of the week. He has been doing something like this for all of his adult life from the age of 21 (he is now 66).

I get the feeling that all of these complainers think that white people are just born with all of this stuff: a home, a good job, car, retirement funds. No, my hubby has been working diligently all of his life and paying for all of these things with the money he earns by being a productive citizen.

I am so sick of listening to these people and all of their complaining and whining.

This is what you get for letting women vote.

One guy I know who pointed out that the loss of white men turned Rhodesia/Zimbabwe from the breadbasket of southern africa to the basket case of southern africa put it even better— White man can’t jump but he sure do know how to grow stuff.

Like the Eddie Murphy "White Like Me" skit, "When white people are alone, they give things to each other for free.”

Well, one certainly hopes that we do.
However, one now wonders where we’re going to get conservative men to take positions that are open in say, future positions in the Trump cabinet or for any political office for that matter.

How many of us have let such absolutely squeaky clean lives since childhood that a potential political enemy couldn’t dig something up. I dare say, no one has led that kind of life. How many Christian, Republican men are going to have the gumption to step forward and run for anything, knowing that the evil Democrats are waiting in the wings to dig as deep as they can, as long as they can, to find something to tear you down with. Heck, they’ll even make stuff up. We just saw that.

I’m just a guy who goes to a protestant church and I avoid handshakes and hugs from other women just because so many are nuts these days. I was never the touchy feely type anyway.

My office door stays open when anyone else drops in.

American men afraid?? - no, not possible.

American men, not these males who sneak into the country and these crazies who call them selves female, have a rich reputation of putting personal ambitions aside and taking on dangerous tasks for their communities, the nation and the world. There is no organization, person or nation who can claim to have brought peace, other than Jesus.

It is only the American man, mostly those in uniform. Wherever they have been called upon, they have gone, fought, and established peace. They have never asked for anything in return other than a plot to bury the dead. The American GI has been the world’s only peacemaker.

As a combat veteran of the Korean I could not be prouder than I am of the modern American soldier, sailor and marines. They are the greatest.

Don’t put down the American man.

After, before. Yes. Men were, and are, roasted, impaled, skewered and shredded on the simple word of a hysteric. The man was, and is, given no chance to defend himself. Anything he says is examined for something that can be used against him.

The Kavanaugh affair didn’t change anything. It made more people aware of what had already happened.

...stoked fears of an all-out gender war

You gotta appreciate their brazenness, they start & wage a multi-front gender war and kick the victims (of the war) for warning others.

I think rational women of any political leaning should be very afraid that the left weaponized #MeToo and have made it much harder to expose sexual crimes. True victims will no come out any more now as before. The Ford lies and witch hunt fiasco was a disgrace. The bottom line of the ferocious attacks on kavanaugh was all about abortion (killing females and males) and destroying men while pretending to protect women.

Before he was confirmed both men and women with any sense should have been concerned for the future of both men and women. Justice Kavanaugh was confirmed, though, so the Supreme Court is safe enough for the time being.

Just make sure that the next choice is not based on sex: one of several possible conditions desired by anti-American socialists.

Invest in body cams.

True, 'dat!

A low-res video feed with audio does not take up much storage space. You could record your entire work day, every day, for a year on a 128 GB SD card, which costs 40 bucks. It is just a matter of buying the right equipment and establishing a routine.
