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.

Whether you are walking into a nightclub or using a dating app, the same rules of success apply to both men and women. If you are good looking, it is easy, if you are average looking or less, it is hard.
That's not true. Good looks get you only so far as a man

Remember, we are talking here about success with dating apps. Finding a good spouse involves environments such as workplace, interest clubs, and churches where people can get to know aspects about you other than just looks.
Also things have gotten worse for men as womyn overall have gotten much uglier, woker and fatter over the past decade.

Some good news. I went to Water Country last week and noticed that the porker trend has reversed as plenty of young women in bikinis that looked great. I noticed the same thing when I went to my daughter's college graduation in that the women were much more in shape that what I saw during her sophomore year.

For those who do enter the field, structural bias may manifest in a variety of ways that can make underrepresented groups feel unseen or excluded, contribute to high attrition/low retention rates over time, and hinder career advancement. For example, one workshop participant shared a story about her challenges carrying heavy equipment for a nuclear safeguards verification role, and how men often carried her tools for her. Another participant separately reaffirmed this point, stating that some of the monitoring equipment weighs about 40 pounds and is worn on the body.
Women have trouble lifting heavy objects. Stupid sexist gravity. Also, when you offer to carry something for women struggling under the load, this reminds them that they aren’t as useful as you, and makes them resent you. Remember this the next time you’re tempted to help.

SNL actually makes a semi-funny skit:
"Hallmark Horror" - because the only thing women love more than romance, is Murder.
