The Absence of Men
SteynonLine ^ | December 13, 2024 | Mark Steyn

Posted on 12/13/2024 5:33:34 AM PST by Twotone

Almost every story in the news boils down to the same story: Man is on the endangered species list.

A week ago, I wrote about the so-called "Montreal Massacre" - which happened on the scale it did because the "men" walked away and abandoned their female classmates to their fate. You can't discuss that - not honestly - in the Canadian press, but, over at American Thinker, Eric Utter commented:

Real men, marinating in their 'toxic masculinity,' will stand up for women and say "enough!" as regards 'trans women' in women's bathrooms and locker rooms. And real men, of the toxically masculine variety, would not ignore the gang rapes of innocent young girls that are being committed by 'immigrants.'

No sooner had he written it than a New York jury acquitted of murder 26-year-old Daniel Penny - referred to by the prosecutor throughout the trial as "the white guy". The non-white guy - one Jordan Neely - had entered the subway car and announced to its passengers that "I'm gonna kill everybody".

So Mr Penny acted, and prevented that. It is not for the distant authorities to second-guess his actions. The writ of the state does not run on New York public transit. Just this weekend some guy was shoved onto the southbound tracks at Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center Station in Brooklyn. The same day a 74-year-old man was shoved onto the tracks at the 149th Street-Grand Concourse station in the Bronx. The perp yelled "I didn't do it!" immediately after doing it. In Queens an 82-year-old woman was shoved onto the tracks...

Jordan Neely is dead because lying does have consequences. I believe everyone on the deserves a pat on the back because they believed an idiot of color even when he lied to them. Or did he actually intend to kill everybody?

The closing line of this column gave me chills: “We are moving from gradually to suddenly.”

Interestingly, today’s definition of “real man” is framed by feminists raised in fatherless households with the sole concern of the benefits that accrue to them.

My message to those that consider me racist, sexist, extremist, homoohobic and toxic: You’re on your own. Enjoy it.

Remember when Obama said, “We’re about to fundamentally change the United States of America”!
Too bad we didn’t listen and believe what THAT “person of of color” was saying at that time. Now look at us.... (spit)

...the so-called "Montreal Massacre" - which happened on the scale it did because the "men" walked away and abandoned their female classmates to their fate.

No. The massacre didn't just "happen", it was perpetrated by Gamil Rodrigue Liass Gharbi, the mentally deficient son of two whackjobs. The Crown let in all sorts of rabble to Canada without proper vetting, such as his Algerian father, consequences be damned.

The school executives hired incompetent security guards, and had deficient plans in place to protect students or staff. Gamil Gharbi had been in and around the school building at least seven times prior to his shooting spree. He somehow managed to walk in with a rifle without anyone stopping him. "Communication issues" at the 911 call center delayed the dispatch of police and ambulances, who were initially routed to incorrect addresses. The police officers screwed up the response. They established a perimeter around the building and waited before entering the building. During that time, Gamil Gharbi killed several women. Three official investigations severely condemned the emergency response.

The government sure protected themselves though, rejecting Gamil Rodrigue Liass Gharbi's attempt to join the Canadian Army. They knew he had issues.


As for the next shooter? The Crown and the Propaganda Media, instead of correctly blaming a mentally ill shooter who likely should never have been in the country, blamed "societal misogyny". That's right, the same men who were forced at gunpoint to leave one of the rooms the shooter took over were part of the "societal misogyny". The Crown's non-solution was to blame society for misogyny and to ban more firearms that the victims could have used to defend themselves, pass stricter gun control laws, and took other red-herring actions to end "violence against women".

But yeah, blame those men who left at gunpoint.

I used to say we should have peacefully invaded Canada fifty years ago.

Now it appears we would not have been doing them the favor I perceived.

When a deranged, drug-addled man enters your conveyance and announces in a loud tone he is going to kill everybody, you should believe him.

Penny’s attorney should have objected every time. Mr. Penny has a name, and it’s not “the white guy”. Bragg is a racist pig.

Ha! My friend and his roommate lived next to a couple of real butchie feminists who were always snotty to them

One HOT August day, they were sitting on the porch drinking beer while the girls were moving stuff out of their apartment

Ordinarily they would have helped ...without even being asked. But, he said that neither one of them would move one inch to help these nasty girls with the heavy lifting 😁

“Real men” know that New York City women are strong boss babes who can get a handgun like Bernie Goetz to defend themselves.

Uvalde shooting as well. A bunch of so-called men sat around while kids and women got shot.
