I think in the absence of real men the gubmint is a proxy for a man in their life. My current GF, a beautiful, talented, smart and independent woman. A bad third date and a broken condom and 16 years later she has a teenage son because she would not do an abortion. She is a conservative but says many women she knows think of the men today as lying pussies, devoid of inner connectedness and integrity....the government is their backstop. This was done on purpose, the combination of the sexual revolution and the denigration of men(Watch any sitcom, men are buffoons and morons whole the women are centered and intelligent) Like in the black community where integrity is in short supply among men, its about hedonism and criminal enterprise. Look what you have now. False manhood, violent savages without any grounding or decency.
To be fair, men have since the early 50’s sitcoms been depicted as morons. Remember the Honeymooners?
That said men today are definitly, in the main, pussies. They have allowed women to change the natural order of things which allowed for men to protect the family home and fight when necessary. Mostly this was done my mothers raising their sons to be wimps and the rest was some men thinking they can get laid more easily by acting sensitive and submissive,then coming to actually believe there own bullshit.
I was born in 1942 and grew up in a different world. I feel pity for what has happened to men here and in the rest of the world
