The Failed Experiment of Removing Strong Men From Society<\/em> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I recently read a total\u00a0hit piece<\/a>\u00a0on men. The author was the business name. As I was reading, it was blatantly obvious it was written by a woman, without even knowing the name of the author. No male would have ever written something this far-reaching and full of lies. Before I continue, this publication does great work in the field of gender and has written great pieces about the truth about gender that aren\u2019t very popular in academia, university, and mainstream media. She just reached for something to grab a hold of in the category of why men are taking women\u2019s spaces as it relates to gender\u2026 and missed. The writer proposed an\u00a0Entitled Displacement Theory<\/em>, which seeks to understand men through the lens of Margaret Sanger1<\/a><\/sup>, if you\u2019re asking me. The writer made several points. I\u2019ll respond to each one.Subscribed<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.\u00a0All men feel they lost status dominance. This is a collapse of traditional male hierarchies.<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0Most men do not care about status dominance in reference to women. Men, per research2<\/strong><\/sup>, care about status among other men. This is basic evolutionary psychology. A male hierarchy (patriarchy) is not a bad thing. Only if it devolves into being based on power is it a bad thing. Until then, it is a very solid, fruitful, thriving entity. Have men abused this in the past? Absolutely. Do most men abuse it now? Not even close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.\u00a0Manosphere: online grievances.<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0statements like \u201cwomen don\u2019t want nice guys anymore\u201d, \u201cmodern women are hypergamous and selfish\u201d, and \u201cfeminism has destroyed family values\u201d may or may not be a neutral observation but it is definitely not a \u201cbattle cry for a return to dominance through manipulation, withdrawal and outright hostility.\u201d They are true statements based on observation. Society is now recognizing that the idea of \u201ctoxic masculinity\u201d, emasculation, and the\u00a0wussification<\/em>\u00a0of men was a failed experiment. Most men knew it would fail. But we just waited for society to catch up. Weak men are of no use to society. Men are biologically designed to protect and provide (at least help provide).3<\/sup><\/strong>\u00a0This is seen in the biological shifts that happen post puberty. Men get stronger, bigger, and even more prone to risk and exploration. This was nature\u2019s design. Men were (are) to go out and find food, protect the family from an external threat, and women were (are) designed to protect the children from themselves and internal threats, like sickness. Again, evolutionary biology has a lot to say about this. Have men abused this in the past? Absolutely. Do most men abuse it now? Not even close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Autogynephilia as a way to make more money and regain dominance.<\/strong><\/em> This \u201cpsychotherapist\u201d either has no male clients or very weak, spineless clients. Men who suffer from autogynephilia are not even thinking about money. In fact, I would surmise that most men who suffer from autogynephilia probably struggle to manage their finances well. This hypothesis is based on personality traits that are commonly found in those with autogynephilia and their proclivities towards an aversion to conscientiousness (a diligent, dutiful person), which is the primary predictor of success. Yes, some successful men suffer from autogynephilia. Among those, the primary issues include ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences), or an adult relationship that has been traumatic. Not money or power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.\u00a0Misogyny as inclusion.<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0I can agree that men do not belong in women\u2019s spaces. I cannot agree with this post on why. Straight men do not want to erase women. I don\u2019t think gay men do either. Gay and straight men have different motivations for loving women. The males who find it appropriate to invade women\u2019s spaces, sports, prisons, bathrooms, are also suffering. It is typically either autogynephilia or gender dysphoria (GD). These men do not even come close to representing most men. What they do represent is a small group of loud activists who pulled at the heartstrings of those that cannot separate empathy from good judgment and are unwilling to draw a line between good and bad, right and wrong, for fear that they hurt someone\u2019s feelings and may cause a two part reaction, a) they feel bad for causing the negative emotion among the sufferer and b) they are forced to deal with their own self-guilt for existing (usually existing as a straight, white, far-left female). There\u2019s research4<\/sup><\/strong>\u00a0on this too. Wanting to invade women\u2019s spaces is not misogyny, it\u2019s sickness and unresolved trauma committed by an extreme minority of men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Narcissistic collapse and identity invasion: \u201cIf I can\u2019t own her, I\u2019ll become her to take back my dominance over her.\u201d<\/strong><\/em> I debated on even giving this any attention due to the severely preposterous nature of the claim. Most men do not want to own anyone. I mean, do I have to elaborate on this for someone with common sense and sufficient comprehension of social adequacies?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The feminist response was \u201cfight back.\u201d Fight back against what, exactly? In our country, women have complete power over the bedroom in relationships. In America, most nurses are female.5<\/sup><\/strong>\u00a0Most teachers6<\/sup><\/strong>\u00a0and assistant professors7<\/sup><\/strong>\u00a0are female. Most people attending college are females.8<\/sup><\/strong>\u00a0Conversely, most people dropping out of high school9<\/sup><\/strong>\u00a0and college10<\/sup><\/strong>\u00a0are males. Most (94%) prison inmates are males.11<\/sup><\/strong>\u00a0Most lonely12<\/sup><\/strong>\u00a0people are male. Most people successfully committing suicide are male.13<\/sup><\/strong>\u00a0What other catastrophic demise among the male population would you like to see in order to have successfully fought back against men who are trying to find their place in a society where men are undervalued, mocked for being male, and are receivers of misinformed vitriol merely for being masculine?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As it currently stands, women are tired of nice guys because nice guys aren\u2019t strong guys. The utmost virtue in a man is that he is capable of fierce danger but has the wisdom to know when to use it. Modern women are selfish in some ways, but not in all ways. And feminism has destroyed family values. Because feminism does not want equality, it wants superiority, \u201cWe were oppressed, now it\u2019s your turn!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Did men cause the rise of the feminist movement? Yes. Did they abuse the fact that they are bigger and stronger? Yes. Did this cause a seismic shift in gender roles? Yes. Did society overcorrect due to emotional dysregulation that never was dealt with, absolutely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So where should we be on the spectrum of possible gender neutrality? The first and best place to start is to allow men to be men. Allow them to open doors, pull out your seat, and serve you like you are the queen they always wanted. Allow men to risk. Simultaneously, men should look for the qualities in women and let them flourish rather than mock them or suppress them. The answer to the issues mentioned in the male-hit-piece is not to apply an exaggerated reductionist viewpoint of \u201cevil man want power\u201d, otherwise known as the Masculine Replacement Theory. But rather the answer is to foster a conversation on how both can see the other side, deal with the ACEs, the emotional baggage that brings on autogynephilia and GD, and the misunderstanding that men want power. Men want to be respected and needed. That\u2019s about it. Men struggle to understand why a woman can say they are upset but not know why while women are perplexed as to how a man can be sitting calmy, thinking of absolutely nothing. The lack of understanding is causing both the male-haters club to continue and the feminists who write hit pieces like this to have a crowd. No, men do not want dominance, control, money, or unrestrained power. They want to be appreciated for who they are rather than being attacked for it. Men and women should work to appreciate the difference in each other and utilize them to our collective benefit, not looking for reasons to exacerbate the division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
