Men benefit from going to work every day to provide for themselves and their families. Yet surveys and studies have consistently shown that millions of able-bodied men are not working or looking for work.
Consider that in 1962 , about 97% of men ages 25 to 54 were working or looking for work. Today, that number is closer to 89%.
This lack of working men hurts women too; one survey found that 78% of women picked “a steady job” as the most important characteristic of a potential husband. Women weighted this characteristic higher than sharing the same beliefs about religion and children.

What do they mean by “men”?
What is a man?
I know.....”All vaginally equipped bi-pedals are now and forevermore to be known as men.”
There, problem solved.
Mr. Lamb is one of those TradCons who think it is still 1950. What do most men experience following his advice; crappy marriage or divorced working as a slave paying alimony. Mr. Lamb’s berating of men is way more dangerous to men than the harangues of some pink haired feminist. Mr. Lamb is totally oblivious to how society has changed over the past 50 years.
Mr. Lamb criticizes drinking alcohol while sitting on a couch. I guess it is more virtuous to drink alcohol while sitting on a stool in a bar.
All humans, and men especially, get many benefits from doing productive work. I hope to work well into my 70’s.
Keep in mind I do not have a physically demanding job; that has its own risks but I understand the need and desire for construction workers (as I once was) and other men doing physically demanding work to give their bodies a break.
What is a man?
Maybe it’s because they don’t know 💩 and don’t want to get their hands dirty. Pajama boy college twerps ain’t much good for welding, plumbing, construction, mechanical trades or equipment operations. Who the hell wants to hire them?
“ Mr. Lamb is one of those TradCons who think it is still 1950.”
Most things were better in 1950.
We are regressing
For what it’s worth, when I (a male) graduated high school back in the 1970s I had a pick of good jobs. The mills, the factories, the railroads were all hiring. They paid well. And you didn’t need any special education. Start out in a labor gang, and work your way up.
That’s all gone now, at least in my neck of the woods. The Dollar Store is looking for part-time help. And so is McDonalds. Nothing wrong with honest work. But you can’t buy a house and raise a family on those wages.
Trump tried to change that. He tried to bring industry back to America. It’s a tragedy that not enough people understood what he was trying to do.
“Mr. Lamb is totally oblivious to how society has changed over the past 50 years.”
Methinks it might be best to change back. Back to a time when men were men and women were women!!
That is a tragedy. Maybe in the future textbooks or history books someone will look back and say just how gullible people were to fall for Democrat lies and promises which never deliver.
A very sexist article. Men are just beasts of burden and money generating machines, their worth is only how much money they have/make.
“Only women, children, and dogs are loved unconditionally, whereas a man is only loved under the condition that he provide something. I’ve never heard a woman in my life say, ‘You know, after he got laid off, we got so much closer.’”
-Chris Rock
Call me when that happens.
I drink a bottle of red wine and eat steak reclined on chaise sofa, then fall asleep. The dog licks the plate. The missus washes my pajamas while I work the next day.
They will when they start to starve and can’t pay for their toys and internet. Some will turn to crime—until people start to be shot or sent to the labor camps. Few crimes in Red China! We are becoming Red America and there will be no crime when the Reds are in power.
I refuse to work under the Xiden administration. I will, live on welfare rather than support the illegitimate deep state
I was in a McDonalds the other day. The manager was kind of sort of training someone to be an assistant. He asked her a question about which decision to make. She didn’t answer. He counted down “3-2-1, which decision is it?” She still didn’t reply so I chimed in and said to the lady “making any decision is better than making no decision”. They both kind of looked at me funny. But I was right. It was just McDonalds not heart surgery - not yet, anyway. Depends on how much of it they eat.
Well said!
Yep, I’m not married and don’t see that happening.
So I work for me - but I’ve got enough money to keep me reasonably happy for the rest of my life. Why work unless it is something I want to work on?
Dennis Prager is a classic example. He thinks that women still find Ward Cleaver the Sexiest Man Alive.
