Despite the longwinded screeds trying to turn the discussion into a pissing contest between the sexes, there still exists identifiable, organized, funded, and politically powerful efforts to undermine fatherhood and define simple boyhood as a dangerous pathology. No amount of fingerpointing at irresponsible men can mitigate this organized campaign of evil.
Again, WHO is doing this? The teachers? Parents? School administrators?..... And WHAT is the solution?
If the campaign is so "organized" as you say, you should at least be able to explain how all this is carried out on such a larg scale. Who is involved and what are they doing?
You offer nothing but vague incriminations and no solutions. IF you are right and boys are in danger.... WHO is going to do something about it and WHAT are they going to do? " By continuing on the path of blame and bigotry, you reduce my need to argue my own points."
Well, since you brought it up ... speaking of the "path of blame and bigotry" how's this example?
"By turning our boys over to the sole care of selfish women via divorce, single motherhood, and the feminized public school systems, we have committed cultural suicide." Harrison Bergeron
YOU (not men) are the one who are demonizing vast swaths of human beings (mostly women) in a hyperbolic attempt to blame them unilaterally for perceived "problems" in society. That is bigotry.
In contrast to your sweeping blame of "selfish women", and in response to your own laments about fatherlessness I've asked a simple logical reasonable question .... Where are these fathers missing in their kids' lives? That is not blaming "all men" (vast majority of whom are good fathers) but rather that is inquiring about the ones who are not around in a discussion of "fatherlessness". Get it?
Perhaps the two of you were in the audience in the jeering section at the following event: Silencing Sommers ...You're certainly doing your best to emulate the event here at FR.
Nice try at an oblique slur, but not even close. Valid criticism is NOT the same thing as preventing someone from speaking. I would NEVER question Sommers right to speak or stop her from speaking. I don't agree with a lot of the things she's said and I believe she indulges in the exact same tactics she decries in others to her discredit .... and I give my criticism freely. I also agree with her about some things though I consider her style ineffectual and often dishonest by ommission. That is free speech countering free speech, as far as I know both mine and Sommers "rights" under the First Ammendment are still protected.

"That is free speech countering free speech, as far as I know both mine and Sommers "rights" under the First Ammendment are still protected." Shouting someone down in an academic environment is your idea of "free speech?" Wow, talk about nailing yourself as a leftist hypocrite. Being thrown out of a government sponsored venue by government employees for airing politikally inkorrekt views is a repeat of the kind of "rights" we saw in Germany circa 1938. "Free speech for me but not for thee."
The only other thing you seem to know is deflection of the truth. My personal answer? Let the feminist indoctrination camps continue to sink into their tarpit of incompetence. The minorities and lower middle class that have suffered under their failed leadership will eventually insist on a whole new system. Private school and home school for my son. Meanwhile, I exercise my right to free speech and point to the problem for others to see. Believe it or not, most conservatives are only just getting the news about anti-male sexism in government and corporate institutions.
