To diminish men (and boys) is trending, not that it hardly took a break any time in the past twenty years, but now it reaches a new fever pitch. It’s a trifecta, to be white, to be a man, and the presumption that to be white and a man equals ‘supremacy’, intended to be served up as a pejorative. But my focus here is the station of manhood. All maleness or masculinity is considered by some to be toxic and it’s under attack.
It’s now widely publicized that some august institutions of learning, elite colleges, are weighting against the acceptance of white (and Asian) males. Female college entrants out number male by approximately 4%. Some big corporations and legal firms have got into the act, instituting restrictions, or functional bans on hiring males. All these measures equal widespread institutional discrimination. Maleness and masculinity is considered a toxic trait by some ‘Libs of Tic Toc’ types. Some ‘elite’ private school marms have even taken to sharing their targeted hatred of the very boys they’re entrusted with to teach. They’re objective is to either break them, deny them, or turn them into radicalized tranny girls. It extends even earlier. One circulated post this week expressed such hateful contempt for even a male baby that it equated breastfeeding as submitting to ‘rape’. All the traits that go with maleness are denigrated. Assertiveness and physicality are scorned. You can hear it in the renewed attacks on the NFL. A few mad girls are incensed by its ‘violence’.
It would be easy to think that hatred of men might soon hit a tipping point; that woke women will first overcome the multitude of beta males, spread their infection of male-hate and eventually relegate men to the lowest levels of servitude, at least all the ones that harbor the plethora of objectionable traits of masculinity, but I don’t think that’ll happen. The wall they will hit will come sooner rather than later.
It’s easy to see how the woke hate of maleness would flourish in the little echo chambers of effete Eastern and West Coast enclaves. It’s even easier to see how it would self-reinforce in the online scream chambers that live online. It’s easy to talk big when living in a thin veneer of comfort. Your car starts fine. The road is plowed. The office is heated, the grass in the college square has never been greener. But what about the pickle jar? This little list that you just read in 1.5 seconds involved the labors of about ten thousand men, directly, and far more men indirectly. Women building roads and driving large trucks is a novelty. They do a fine job if and when they care to be the outlier and take that job but of course most don’t, most can’t, and most importantly, most would never want to. The list is practically endless. The ship sailing your luxury scarf to our shores is predominantly manned by men. The majority of soldiers protecting those shores from the likes of peoples and cultures that would enslave and silence any and all women within their reach, they’re mostly men.
What about babies? Yes, sex is transactional, and it goes both ways. Masculine hating rich wine women will self-exclude themselves from procreation and substantially snuff out their own demographic relatively quick. Even if presently, a slightly higher than average number of sub-standard breeding stock has gone postal in the hysteria of the male hate-moment, their hatred is not shared by the ‘deplorable’ others. Men haters are a demographically small drop in a wide sea of women that have different socio-economic priorities and aspirations. Real women appreciate the labors of their men, want to live in the peace that their vigilance brings, want to birth their children, love the sex, and are quite happy to have the pickle jar opened.
