Welcome to another in our ongoing series of As I Said Twenty Sod-Bollocking Years Ago. Women have inherited the thrones of great powers - Elizabeth I, Catherine the Great, Victoria - and presided over massed ranks of courtiers drawn from the "pale, male and stale" (thank you, David Cameron). But America and its client states are the first in history in which every significant venue aside from ladies' sport is now dominated by women. The west is closer than any society should be to the end of men - which is a big source of the terrible confusion in our schools that has led children to offer themselves up for bodily mutilation and irreversible infertility. Helen Andrews' much noted "viral" essay on the phenomenon informs us inter alia that by 2024 American law schools were fifty-six per cent female and that sixty-three per cent of judges appointed by Joe Biden's autopen are likewise on the distaff side. Elsewhere, fifty-five per cent of New York Times reporters are women (up from ten per cent half-a-century ago) and 57.3 per cent of US undergraduates are what we would once have called "coeds".
At the same time, the principal source of immigration to the west is from a patriarchal culture even more severe (if you can believe it) than 1950s sitcom dads. If you live in London, Paris, Brussels, Stockholm, Dearborn, do you see more body-bagged crones on the streets than you did a generation back? Are you figuring on seeing more still in another twenty years? Or are you betting that the tide will have receded?
It is at the intersection of these two not entirely compatible trendlines - a feminised society with a patriarchal immigration policy - where lies the future (such as it is) of the western world....

Hey, what's not to like? /s
Advertising works...
Count the number of under 30 women on FOXNews - most of them being ‘tens’. Then coumt the number of men under 30 who are in the ‘total hunk’ category. (Hint: that would be Zero.
Product TV advertising is worse...
Alex, I'll take "fishin' and huntin'" for $100!
Fishing and hunting is also not a bad alternative to working 25% of the day to support social parasites.
Watch new car commercials and see how few men are driving the cars. Almost none, all sit in the front passenger seat meek and mild, smiling like some painted clown.
There are a lot of men who are opting out of dating and marriage because interacting with women has become a losing proposition. They’re opting out of having families too. The deck is stacked against them and men are refusing to play the game.

When you see white men in a tv commercial, they are either meekly in the background or a total imbicle acting like a 3 yr old.
You don’t walk away to teach them a lesson, you walk away because you learned yours.
I’m guessing the sexual weirdo community runs and staffs most PR firms - and that’s a group that hates traditional white straight men, children and women who are wives.
Steyn is brilliant.
I hope he gets through his health issues. I hate that we could lose Steyn and Scott Adams, though Adams has been struggling. Steyn is as sharp as ever.
I had a colleague, a woman, who had lots of great qualities, but over time her zealotry for everything feminist became apparent. We had a conversation at one point about how men were being targeted and diminished in society. She had a young son, a wonderful little boy. I asked “What if he is affected by this anti-male culture?’ She was a good mom who loved her son, but she said ‘He’ll just have to deal with it.’.
You can’t reason with someone who is that entrenched.
“When you see white men in a tv commercial, they are either meekly in the background or a total imbicle acting like a 3 yr old.”
I would love to see the mid 60’s car commercials come back.
The social contract is broken. Marriage is like a job that you can be fired from and you are forced to give half of everything you own to the company.
Men still socialize, work, engage in athletics, everything except getting chained to a woman.
The problem for women is that they got what feminism promised them - a world where they aren't bound to men, financially, emotionally, sexually. Well, that works both ways. Men have found life much easier and less expensive without women.
Society has become extremely hostile to men and wanting men to take a 2nd class role, while simultaneously expecting those same men to shoulder the primary responsibility of society itself. Why would we expect any male to accept that?
“Decent good men are becoming more and more extinct from the dating pool. They still exist, but they’ve just stopped drowning themselves in dirty water... in the filth.” -ReplicantPhish
Only the Wealthy can afford to get married. You can afford to lose half of your assets in a divorce.
Wait, you saw a white man in a commercial? No way!
Society hates single men because they can’t exploit them. They don’t want thinkers. They want men they can control.
Being well adjusted to a sick society is NOT a definition of success. Being single is a refusal to accept a sick society and adjust to it.
