More mask-ology for the unwary?
It’s too late for me. I followed the feminist lie through most of my life, only to wake up much too late to have lived it a better way. You see, it takes a while to realize that it really is about the warm body next to you. It is about the laughing children and grandchildren. It is about the stories, the recipes, the memories, the picnics, the vacations. ...
And me, well, I can barely clip the leaves off of a basil plant without feeling bad about it. I save spiders. One video of an abused dog will ruin my entire year. It’s a curse—too much empathy.
But that’s what I feel when I think about JD Vance, what he’s gone through in life, and how he’s come out of it such a fine young man with a beautiful family and a promising future. ...
If the worst thing he ever did was generalize about “Childless cat ladies,” that’s not that big of an offense. The second part of it was specifically about politicians who have less of a stake in the future. Yes, it will probably alienate some voters, but honestly, is that really how you go about voting? Something someone said turns you off so you’ll vote for the totalitarians?
Whatever your thoughts on the original feminists of Seneca Falls and the like, the unmistakable character of feminism since the Sexual Revolution of the 1960s is rebellion against the natural world, of reality itself. Namely, it is the belligerent rejection of sex differences, even to the paradoxical end of women rejecting traditional feminine strengths as weakness and embracing masculine flaws as strength. Who is the “strong female character” the feminist loves? She is hard-drinking, promiscuous, profane of speech, irresponsible, and violent; in other words, a low kind of man, albeit one with a great rack.
From claims of radical equality spring even more radical claims of superiority: “Anything you can do I can do better.”
The political and social causes championed by feminists have always sought to inject women into men’s spaces, to antagonize, browbeat, and bully them with a combination of legal force and the spectre of humiliation from the social order that the feminists outwardly reject but are happy to use to their advantage. Title IX is an excellent example of this. For decades, men’s intercollegiate sports were compelled by the force of federal law to accept women if they didn’t also have a woman’s-only team, the danger to both these women and the social fabric be damned. Subversion was law and common sense and prudence was illegal.
Now, amid the squalid, Satanic spectacle known as the 2024 Summer Olympics, we see an Algerian man beating an Italian woman into submission in less than a minute, leaving her bawling on the ground. But isn’t this what they wanted? Is it any different than forcing a high school boy to square up against a girl on the gridiron, or in a wrestling match in the 1980s or 1990s?
It transpires there is a difference. In the bygone era of 15-20+ years ago, this presented a no-win situation for the man. If the young man lost, he was humiliated for getting beat by a girl. If the young man won, he was mocked because he beat up that same girl. If he refused or forfeited, he was called a coward or a sexist or both. And the Girl Power crowd was just fine with this arrangement.
Not so today. The phenomenon of male-to-female transgenderism, enabled at a grand scale mostly by women who have overwhelmingly bought into the ideology and nostrums of Current Year progressivism, is not popular with the sort of men who’d feel ashamed to strike a lady. On the contrary, they are low-status men of no ethical compunction, ruthlessly pursuing athletic glory that would be denied to them in all-male divisions. ...
Much as I detest the men-in-wigs, it is impossible to lay all the blame at their feet. This is the logical end of what the feminists said they wanted; that they weren’t thinking logically about that end when they advocated it hardly matters. What they are really upset about is that the double standard that allowed them to humiliate men at zero physical or social cost has evaporated. Now that they may not escape with all their teeth and neurons intact, the tears are flowing.
But even now, huge numbers—if not an outright majority—of modern western women are vociferous defenders of transgenders. “Transwomen are women,” they bleat, whether they are beaten in the ring or in the beauty pageant. Against a normal man in the same situation, all of womendom would rise in a frothy-lipped, murderous rage, but should he put on a dress or rougeshis cheeks in the manner of a circus clown, they will trample their sisters for the chance to publicly adore him.
Clearly, they have not yet learned their lesson.
This is why I urge men to restrain their instinct to rescue western women from their predicament. Under normal circumstances this instinct is righteous and proper, but the circumstances are far from normal. Perhaps God is giving them the chance to learn something, to repent and reform not merely by rejecting the insanity of transgenderism, but the lies of feminism as a whole, in the same manner that he allowed the Babylonian Captivity to reform the Judeans. Prematurely relieving them from the consequences of their own actions will not only stunt them, they will hate you for it. However painful it is to watch, there is no good alternative. You cannot repent for others.
The Dangerous Rise of Men Who Won't Date "Woke" Women
Why not? Aren't "woke" women more likely to put out?
Not dating but 'hooking up'.
Men can not be solely responsible for the maintenance of masculine self-definition and responsibility, because we are not solely dependent on it. Men and women are interconnected, part of the same Whole, not meaningfully separable in real terms. Women can not perpetually defect, holding abstract freedom as the highest good in their own life, and expect the social structures that sustain them to hold up. If women do not decide what their mutual responsibility to men will be, as a cultural construct, and willingly take on a gender role that emphasizes that mutuality, prosocial masculinity will disappear, and with it, so will any method of organizing society that we currently recognize.
We have had a women's rights movement, and many men, including myself, supported it wholeheartedly. I do not mind admitting that I was a progressive in my 20s and 30s and that I still hold many of those ideals of freedom and equality close to my heart. Now, men need women to finish their hero's journey, return from the wild, and put their newfound gifts into service: to their communities, and to the men who love them and exist in interdependence with them. The world as we know it depends on a women's responsibilities movement - if such a thing is possible, and if it's not too late.
That Walz’s masculinity is mocked by those who would vote for him despite it being the whole rationale for his candidacy is no mystery when one understands that the most significant force holding together that fragile coalition is resentment. They hate men like what he is supposed to be; they hate that they need him in the election to even have a chance to win, and they hate that the very normalcy of the social conditions that produced him still intrudes upon their consciousness despite their best efforts to rid themselves of it. It’s a particularly feminine resentment, even when expressed by men, a smoldering rage against a world that forces them to accept the plain fact that they can be physically dominated by people more powerful than them, and that this fact necessarily expresses itself in social realities that liberalism can disguise or hide, but never eliminate. ...
Liberalism makes a fetish of equality, and none seek equality more intensely than those who feel themselves unequal. At its progressive leading edge, the phenomenon is readily observable. Look at this video put out by the Harris campaign and ask, as the anon did: does anyone lift? The men are, to a man, physically weak and softer than puppy crap while the women are a bizarre juxtaposition of plainness and overwrought and out-of-place sexualization.

And this is as normal as it gets on that end. The real energy among the progressives isn’t the college kids but the older women who have offered themselves wholly to the cause. They’re the ones who’ve dedicated their whole lives to it, forsaking the hope of any healthy family life or bonds of real love to pursue a path of self-gratification and the elimination of obstacles to the same. They’re the ones who’ve weaned themselves from dependency on anyone who might love them in favor of utter dependence on the state as the ultimate guarantor of their well-being, such as it is.
The resentment animating all of this is ultimately spiritual. Liberalism is less their politics than their faith. They serve the prince of this world; they are his brides before any other, and to him they offer as sacrifice whatever he demands. ...
The demons that haunt our world are as cruel and absurd as they’ve ever been. The hatred of masculinity they inspire in is in truth a mere extension of a hatred for femininity. Pride circles back into self-loathing. The women who hate men the most are the ones most committed to aping them- a caricature of men at least- living with the lonely, callous distain and self-absorption they imagine of the opposite sex. Believing themselves modern, they instead have regressed to days of the Canaanites, throwing their children into the Tophet for the sake of material prosperity and an idea of freedom befitting a savage. They mock and abuse and pervert to their own ends, but if there’s a saving grace it’s that their selfishness most often means forsaking connections that enable the perpetuation of their particular degeneracy.
Lol, we hear a lot about women's rights, but absolutely nothing about women's responsibilities.
In some ways, this presidential election has become a referendum on gender roles — and the generation with the biggest difference in opinion between male and female voters is Generation Z.
On one side are young women, who as a group are very liberal, and who have been politically galvanized by gender bombshells like #MeToo, the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and the candidacy of Vice President Kamala Harris.
On the other are young men, some of whom feel that rapidly changing gender roles have left them behind socially and economically, and see former President Donald J. Trump as a champion of traditional manhood.
Women have dating on easy mode.
