"The reason young men are lonely—that is (to name the specific problem that is usually indicated whenever male loneliness is mentioned), the reason they are having trouble getting sex partners they want—is that, if you listen to the young men suffering in this way, they still believe that they are owed a female as a possession, and because of feminism," (continued in /4)

"This is a problem. What I am inviting you to contemplate is how frequently it is treated as a problem for men, caused by women, to be solved by everyone else. I'm inviting you to contemplate how seldom it's being treated as a problem caused by men who have never even started the work they need to do on themselves."

"Patriarchy hurts women… always, first, worst, and Epstein’s files make that clear in ways we’ll never unsee. But it also eats men alive, just differently, just slower, in ways that turn them into fuel for the same machine. The same system that told Epstein he could buy girls told a generation of boys that women owed them something, that their loneliness was a conspiracy, that rage was easier than asking for help."

"women increasingly do not have to be a possession anymore, so more and more women are opting out of seeking sex and companionship from patriarchal men, and patriarchal men are very upset and enraged (and, increasingly, violent) to learn that they will not be given what they were told they are owed."

Excellent! Highly recommended.
“European adults are not magically better communicators. But many were given earlier language to talk about boundaries without turning it into a fight. That reduces resentment. It also reduces the quiet coercion that happens in many couples where one partner endures discomfort because they feel guilty..”

Teach a man to fish and he'll stop you to explain how you're doing it wrong.

This is gonna sound like a call out post, and... No, it really isn't. I'm not calling out anyone in particular. I've just seen it one too many times. The straw, the camel's back, yadiyada.

My cis dudes. I love you. I really do. But I'm tired of you going under women's post expressing their grievances about men, to explain how ashamed you are of other men. It's... It's tiring. Like, it's really fucking tiring. Because you don't realize that every time we make such a post there is at least one or two of you. Every time.

We don't care about you being not like the other guys. Yes, sure, are one of the good ones, whatever. Good boy and all that. But when you do this, not only do you not contribute anything to the discussion, you're actually adding to the problem. It's adding emotional labour to the women trying to explain themselves when really you should just stay quiet and listen.

Give a like. Boost the post, even. But you don't need to say anything, not to us. Call out other men in the responses that are probably trying to argue and ending up exactly proving her point. Do better, instead of saying that you already are.

"If all those disaffected young men Republicans have been working so hard to appeal to are looking for a good model of masculinity — and just as important, the absolute worst model — they should pay close attention to what is going on in Minneapolis....

In the version of masculinity MAGA offers to men, one of the key elements is that you get to do what you want and nobody can stop you, especially women."

My preteen granddaughter & I are #strong, #smart #women! We don’t have to wait around for #men to help us. We figured out how to fix a household object together! The hinged, flop-open metal lid of the kitchen garbage can came off its hinges & opener spring. We reattached it! 💪
