Men Are Going to Strike Back
Town Hall ^ | 9 Feb 2026 | Kurt Schlichter

Posted on 02/09/2026 8:20:53 AM PST by Rummyfan

There’s a clip going around where some obnoxious woman decides that a guy walking out of a Quik-i-Mart is a nice guy and she takes it upon herself, being the heroine and the main character of the epic saga that is her life, to knock his cup of coffee from his hands. He’s a fairly big guy, fit, and he doesn’t lay her out across the parking lot with a right cross. It’s not that she doesn’t deserve it – she does. It’s that he is still defaulting to the male role in a chivalry system that no longer exists. This dumb woman is relying on the very guardrails she has bulldozed; she’s going to try it again, and this time she’s going to lose a bunch of teeth.

Oh well.

It’s no surprise to anybody who is paying attention that the complex system that governed the relationship of men and women throughout the ages has been disrupted in the last 50 years. Two Helens have recently made a splash talking about this. Helen Andrews gave a powerful speech at last year’s Nat Con that got a lot of attention about the feminization of culture. More recently, Helen Smith, a.k.a. Mrs. @Instapundit, just published her important new book His Side, which commits the revolutionary act of asking men what they think about the current war on the unfair sex. We people with penises are not supposed to talk about any of this stuff. We’re not supposed to talk about how society has changed, for the worse, by the domination of feminine values over our institutions, institutions that were built to greatness through masculine values.

If you don’t know the difference between masculine and feminine values, I can’t really help you. You’ve bought into the gender-same lie....

Sounds idiotic. When does that happen?

Yeah, boys and men have been getting some raw deals, but this doesn’t seem to reflect reality.

There are some great videos and podcasts on this very subject from a lady by the name of Pearl. The name of her podcast is “Just Pearly Things”. She BLASTS the feminist culture and basically says, for the most part, younger women are not going to like what they have coming to them. She says (much more eloquently than I), younger men are increasingly checking out of the marriage game because there is less and less about marriage that attracts them if they can “get it” without all the responsibility that comes with marriage.

Check out her podcasts and you will be shocked at how much sense she makes.

The greater issue, the feminization of culture, is real and alarming in its effects. Besides the Orwellian observation of the scourge of female political dupes, we are seeing the disintegration of the sciences as enterprises searching for truth in the natural world. Critical thinking is being collapsed under the dead weight of spurious ideology.

Men need to humble themselves repent of their sins stop letting Barbie Dolls on Fox News massage their hatreds, resentments and lusts.

What men are choosing to do is not invest in society, but only do as much as necessary to serve self.

The ironic thing is that women’s desire for power is going to cause them to pay most of the taxes, because men are minimizing their participation in society.

Try 93 years (1933) when the Institute for Social Research was imported from NAZI Germany and emplaced at Teachers College at Columbia University. This was following a pattern articulated by Benjamin Kidd in 1910 in his book, The Science of Power, with its emphasis on using the emotional reasoning characteristic of women as means to manipulate the demos.

For a wide variety of reasons, I think we are going to see a historic demographic collapse. Young men are really catching on that young women are a disaster, and the courts will always give everything the man has worked for over to the young woman when they inevitably divorce. The common perception is that women today don't care at all about men — men are an ATM and a smart woman will simply use marriage to take his stuff.

In general, I try to be fair and I might usually insert a standard caveat that “young men are no prize either”. But I don't really believe that. If you were to line up 100 awful young people, I think 90 of the awful ones would be young women, and 10 of the awful ones would be young men.

I'm not sure how this gets fixed, but we are going to have tens of millions of unhappy cat ladies. Of course we will have an equal number of single men. But single men tend to be a heck of a lot happier than single women. The AWFUL phenomenon tells a sad, one-sided story.

At least the 20% of the single men who can actually get women.

Wait until medicine comes up with a safe, easy, and effective male birth control, that will change the whole situation as females lose control over pregnancy and its various threats and uses.

My prediction is that it will return them to levels of chastity and withholding sex until a relationship has a future.

The bottom line is this....a lot of feminazis do not want the obligations and restrictions the old patriarchal system put on them BUT they want to keep getting the benefits and protections that system conferred on them. They want that even while many of them refuse to admit those benefits and protections ever existed at all.

Ask a feminazi about courts awarding custody of children to women 90% of the time when there’s a divorce and ask whether that shouldn’t be more like 50/50. Ask about alimony. Ask if men should not be able to legally opt out of parental responsibilities in the same way that women opt out when they have an abortion. Ask if courts should start slamming women with sentences as harsh as the sentences men get for the same crimes. Ask if women shouldn’t pay half on dates. and on and on. See what they say.

Go to any of the places such as Youtube or tik tok or other such places women talk about dating. What’s their biggest complaint? Chivalry is dead. They make the same complaint about men not holding doors, giving up their seats on public transport, etc etc.

I was taught never to hit a woman and I never have. When I was a kid I would have looked very negatively on any man who hit a woman back after she hit him. I wouldn’t anymore. Yes, Chivalry is dead. You killed it.

Hey.....you wanted it feminazis....you got it.

Well, yes. Certainly the top 20% of men can sleep around a lot and have little incentive to settle down (why can’t women figure this out?) So those top men are living the life of Riley.

But the other 80% of the men, although they may not get women, they get to keep 100% of their income, they have peace and tranquility, they have hobbies, they can focus on career or the gym, or whatever they want. Many “average” men have figured out that life is better without a woman and the chaos and drama which seems to always follow.

We live in misandrist matriarchy.

If a man can't pay child support, he's thrown in prison. If a woman can't pay child support the government forces taxpayers to give her money, housing, and even transportation.

A woman can kill an unborn child and the father has no legal right to stop her from killing his offspring.

A woman can kill an unborn child to remove her parental responsibility but the father can't remove his financial responsibility by any means.

Men's obligations to women are enforced by the law, but there is no obligation for a woman to a man that is enforced by the law.

Our misandrist society is more willing to accept gay men than it will accept straight men who don't meet women's definition of masculinity.

Female "empowerment" is all about liberation and choice while men's "empowerment" is about duty and sacrifice, which is the opposite of liberation and choice.

A woman can lie about paternity of a child without fear of being charged for paternity fraud and the state can even force the cucked father to continue paying for a child PROVEN to not be his. If a hospital switched children by accident, it's a million dollar payout. If a woman switches fathers, there's no repercussions at all.

The state forces men to pay child support with zero confirmation that the money is being spent on the child.

A woman can falsely accuse a man of rape and when caught lying will face no charges.

How many private residences have you seen with a urinal installed?

A doctor is required to get a wife's approval before a husband gets a vasectomy but can prescribe birth control or abort a child without the husband knowing.

Women are not subject to the draft, yet hold office and can vote to send men to die in war.

If a woman revokes consent after the fact, she has the power to get a man fired from his job, kicked out of school, or thrown in jail.

Men's shelters are so rare as to be non-existant.

Men's cancer research and treatments are funded to a mere fraction compared to women's cancer research and treatment.

Men have to die at work or at war.

Men are not given additional consideration for college admissions, jobs, opportunities, and scholarships.

And many wonder why the birth rate is decreasing. It takes two to tango and the feminine side has a lot to be desired in creating a family, community and consequently a society.
