Sadly reminds me of a bad interaction I had here on Nostr just the other day… and another one I had on X yesterday.
Anyone who actually cares to see my profile knows I made things work out for me.
But then I get the same “you just want to play the victim” when I point out issues.
The obvious strawman being that any complaints of the issues is “letting it define you” or “blackpilling”.
Got it… erecting strawmen and making an entire field of problems unspeakable…
That doesn’t work for long.
What follows is a copy paste, link to the original at the end.
——————————————————————
The only reason people are talking about "The Great Feminization" now is because it's affecting women.
Men young and old have been talking about it for decades.
For decades boys and men have had their desires dismissed; had fathers denigrated and denied them; had their spaces, interests and hobbies invaded; had primary and higher education weaponized against them; had jobs and promotions unjustly denied them; had reputations ruined by false allegations; watched pop culture fester with anti-male slop; had wealth and progeny stripped away by prejudiced family courts.
What happened when they voiced these complaints?
They were called misogynists, resentful of their inability to match women's success as they seethed over the dismantling of the patriarchy.
They were called losers, whiners and complainers who should shut up, grow up, man up and get married.
But now—
As men avoid women at work, or withdraw from the labor force altogether; as men leave the church; as men abandon dating and marriage; as men reciprocate women's embrace of modernism and rejection of traditionalism; and as womanhood faces erasure, ironically (but predictably) at the hands of the very liberals and progressives women celebrate for hatcheting away manhood and masculinity—
Only now, as the consequences of treating women's needs as all that matter and men's needs as superfluous (and offensive) are evident,
Only now, as men usher in a new sexual revolution by unapologetically focusing on themselves and their own happiness, refusing to serve a society that's signaled repeatedly that it no longer values them and prompting more and more women to wonder "Where Have All the (Good) Men Gone?"
Only now has it become safe for *women* to broach the topic of "The Great Feminization" and be lavished with acclaim for making the exact same points men have been chastised for making for over 25 years.
Symbolic.
