The war against... Straight men

[redrumloa]

You know this was inevitable. At the bottom of the Progressive Stack are straight men, race doesn't matter is you are a straight man. In certain situations they will split hairs based on race, but generally speaking it doesn't matter. As always there is the law of unintended consequences. I've seen small examples before, but stumbled on the following group today which seems to be a rather large movement.

Men Going Their Own Way

If you scroll down and click on the link for their forum... Holy crap is it busy. We were talking about what it would take to have a popular forum in 2017? Well there you go. Men who have decided to remove themselves from relationships with women entirely is the newest massive movement. I can't blame them. I'm lucky that I'm old enough to have missed most of these PC/Feminist nonsense and lucky enough to meet the right woman at 18. Most guys don't have that luxury, especially younger men.

Being out in public down here in South Florida reminds me daily that I would *NOT* want to be out in the dating scene. Knowing men who are single and who have dabbled in the dating scene down here, I'd give up quickly too. One example is a blue collar acquaintance I was speaking with. He's mid-upper 40's and in a good paying unionized trade. He's making a solid middle of the road middle class salary at bare minimum. He says he gave up on the dating scene because every woman he'd talk to would always have one thing and just one thing come out of their mouth first question - "So, how much do you make"? His response is vulgar so I won't repeat, but basically he just told them to get lost.

You are probably reading about or seeing with your own eyes more and more singles out there in general. Besides some of the obvious things like men not gravitating towards feminazis, there are less apparent reasons. They are rarely discussed in the lamestream media but are true. When it comes to education the stack has been against men.There have been an enormous push to increase female presence in colleges, discouraging males. We are now seeing men with higher education being dwarfed by women. On one hand you have the "I am woman hear me roar! I am dominant!" On the other hand, these same women cling to traditional female roll of only "marrying up" to someone of higher income and social status.

The dating gap: why the odds are stacked against female graduates finding a like-minded man

It creates a statistical challenge, because they are voluntarily limiting themselves to a dating pool that has four women for every three men

As with most of these articles, while it gets some facts right, the ultimate blame is laid on men and they don't really get into WHY there are more educated women then men.

Anyhow, stumbled on a rather polished and very busy site/forum and figured I'd drop it here. There is at least one forum doing extremely well in 2017.

Clicked one of their links, a good read. I guess this is all part of the ridiculed "Men's Rights Movement". It's a longish read but good.

The Sexodus - Part 2

Men, driven, as many of them like to say, by fact and not emotion, can see that society is not fair to them and more dangerous for them. They point to the fact that they are more likely to be murder victims and more likely to commit suicide. Women do not choose to serve in the Armed Forces and they experience fewer deaths and injuries in the line of work generally.

Women get shorter custodial sentences for the same crimes. There are more scholarships available to them in college. They receive better and cheaper healthcare, and can pick from favourable insurance packages available only to girls. When it comes to children, women are presumed to be the primary caregiver and given preferential treatment by the courts. They have more, better contraceptive options.

Women are less likely to be homeless, unemployed or to abuse drugs than men. They are less likely to be depressed or to suffer from mental illness. There is less pressure on them to achieve financial success. They are less likely to live in poverty. They are given priority by emergency and medical services.

Some might call these statistical trends “female privilege.” Yet everywhere and at all times, say men’s rights advocates, the “lived experiences” and perceived oppression of women is given a hundred per cent of the airtime, in defiance of the reality that women haven’t just achieved parity with men but have overtaken them in almost every conceivable respect. What inequalities remain are the result of women’s choices, say respectable feminist academics such as Christina Hoff Sommers, not structural biases.

And yet men are constantly beaten up over bizarre invented concepts such as rape culture and patriarchal privilege. The bizarre but inevitable conclusion of all this is that women are fuelling their own unhappiness by driving men to consider them as sex objects and nothing more, because the thought of engaging in a relationship with a woman is horrifying, or too exhausting to contemplate.

Mgtows aren't the same as mras, although there is likely significant overlap between the two groups. From a technical point I suppose I'd qualify as a Mgtow as I walked away from the dating scene altogether over a decade ago, though tbh I've never really identified as such. Frankly there is way too much nastiness for me in those spaces. Way too much content that screams the opposite of what they've written in terms of not wanting to be in a relationship. Also some pretty dicey pseudoscience wrt women's psychological needs and drives.

I do my own thing and that's it.

As for the article, yeah it's a pretty sound and well researched one (and as a lefty I have trouble reconciling that it being Breitbart article, but its central premises have all been acknowledged elsewhere in media on both left and right, so fair play), which refuses to backhand those men involved as so many articles in other publications have done over the years. This was the Milo I respected and enjoyed, rather than the self styled arch villain he acted out on college campus talks. I wish that Milo would come back.
