32 Facts That Show How Men Are Being Systematically Emasculated In America Today
Submitted by Michael Snyder via The Economic Collapse blog,
What is wrong with men in America? Why isn't our country producing lots of strong, independent, hard working men of character like it once did? Well, many believe that it starts at a very young age.
When compared with girls, boys in the United States get lower grades, they are much more likely to get into trouble at school and they are much more likely to be put on behavior-modifying drugs. When it comes time to pursue a higher education, most of our young men are ill-prepared to do that. Today, nearly 60 percent of the students enrolled at U.S. colleges are women. And of course it has become much more difficult for men to find good jobs. In fact, less than 65 percent of all men have a job right now. Without a good job, a man is not considered to be "marriage material", but a large percentage of our young men don't want to get married anyway.
Society has told them that it is okay to be a "slacker". Today, far too many of our young men are far more interested in their various addictions (beer, drugs, sex, video games, gambling, etc.) than they are in starting a family. But the truth is that men are far more happy when they have a purpose. When men are raising families, starting businesses or doing something to transform society they feel fulfilled.
Sadly, the message that our young men are getting from our television shows and our movies is that men are idiots. Instead of being portrayed as leaders that are eager to get married and raise strong families, young men are often being portrayed as passive slackers that love to party and chase women.
Start paying attention to how men are portrayed in the media. In particular, pay attention to how they are portrayed in our commercials. Our boys and young men are exposed to thousands upon thousands of hours of this "programming", and it has a dramatic affect on them.
Our system beats up our boys and young men so badly that only a relatively small percentage of them emerge into adulthood as strong, independent young men that are able to take care of themselves and start families of their own.
In America today, the percentage of men in prison is at an all-time high, the percentage of men with a job is near an all-time low and the percentage of children living without a father is at an all-time high.
Do we have a crisis on our hands?
Yes, we most definitely have a crisis on our hands.
The following are 32 facts that show how men are being systematically emasculated in America today...
#1 The labor participation rate for men has been steadily declining over the years...
In the 1950s, nearly every man in his prime working years was in the labor force, a category that includes both those who are employed and those actively applying for jobs. The "participation rate" for men ages 25 to 54 stood at 97.7% in early 1956, but drifted downward to a post-war record low of 88.4% at the end of 2012. (It ticked up very slightly at the start of this year to 88.6%.)
So where have all the men workers gone?
Some went into prison. Others are on disability. And still others can't find jobs and have simply given up looking.
#2 Back in 1950, more than 80 percent of all men in the United States had jobs. Today, less than 65 percent of all men in the United States have jobs. The chart posted below illustrates this stunning decline...
#3 During the last recession, men lost twice as many jobs as women did.
#4 According to Time Magazine, unemployed men are significantly more likely to get divorced than employed men are.
#5 According to the Economic Policy Institute, the "real entry-level hourly wage for men who recently graduated from high school" has declined from $15.64 in 1979 to $11.68 today.
#6 Between 1969 and 2009 the median wages earned by American men between the ages of 30 and 50 dropped by 27 percent after you account for inflation.
#7 Thanks to government policies which are killing off small businesses in America, the percentage of self-employed Americans is at an all-time low today. This has had a disproportionate impact on men.
#8 In 1982, 1.9 percent of all men were receiving disability benefits. Today, 3.1 percent of all men are receiving disability benefits.
#9 According to one very surprising study, "young, urban, childless women" make more money in America today than young, urban, childless men do.
#10 More than half of all middle management jobs in America are now held by women.
#11 More than half of all health care jobs in America are now held by women.
#12 The United States has the highest incarceration rate on the entire globe by a very wide margin. Overall, the U.S. has approximately 25 percent of the entire global prison population even though it only has 5 percent of the total global population. Men make up the vast majority of those that we are holding in our prisons.
#13 Incarceration rates for men in America have been steadily increasing over time. The following is from a recent CNN article...
Looking at those born just after World War II, some 1.2% of white men and 9% of black men had been to prison by 2004, according to Bruce Western, a Harvard sociology professor. But looking at those born 30 years later, some 3.3% of white men and 20.7% of black men had been to prison.
#14 According to the Pew Research Center, only 51 percent of all American adults are currently married. Back in 1960, 72 percent of all adults in the United States were married.
#15 Males account for approximately 70 percent of all Ds and Fs in U.S. public schools.
#16 About two-thirds of all students in "special education programs" are boys.
#17 The average American girl spends 5 hours a week playing video games. The average American boy spends 13 hours a week playing video games.
#18 The average young American will spend 10,000 hours playing video games before the age of 21.
#19 One study discovered that 88 percent of all Americans between the ages of 8 and 18 play video games, and that video game addiction is approximately four times as common among boys as it is among girls.
#20 In 2011, SAT scores for young men were the worst that they had been in 40 years.
#21 According to the New York Times, approximately 57 percent of all young people enrolled at U.S. colleges are women. That means that only 43 percent are men.
#22 It is being projected that women will earn 60 percent of all Bachelor's degrees from U.S. universities by the year 2016.
#23 Once in college, women are much more likely to complete their education and get a degree...
Women born in 1975 were roughly 17% more likely than their male counterparts to attend college and nearly 23% more likely to complete a four-year degree, according to data in Wayward Sons.
#24 Young men are nearly twice as likely to live with their parents as young women the same age are.
#25 Back in 1950, 78 percent of all households in the United States contained a married couple. Today, that number has declined to 48 percent.
#26 The marriage rate in the United States has fallen to an all-time low. Right now it is sitting at a yearly rate of 6.8 marriages per 1000 people.
#27 Today, an all-time low 44.2 percent of Americans between the ages of 25 and 34 are married.
#28 The U.S. family is rapidly breaking down. 100 years ago, 4.52 were living in the average U.S. household, but now the average U.S. household only consists of 2.59 people.
#29 At this point, approximately one out of every three children in America lives in a home without a father.
#30 The United States produces more pornography than any other nation in the world. Men consume far more of that pornography than women do.
#31 An astounding 30 percent of all Internet traffic now goes to pornography websites, and one survey found that 25 percent of all employees that have Internet access visit sex websites while they are at work.
#32 In the United States today, political correctness reigns, and any reference to the male gender is being stamped out of our language. For example, all over the country the term "manhole" is being replaced with the terms "utility hole" or "maintenance hole".
So what do you think?
Do you believe that men are being systematically emasculated in America today?

I think a large portion of these points can be explained by changes in Western culture over the past 60 years (eg. Women's Liberation and the overall blurring of traditional gender roles). Not to mention there have been a couple of generations since then who have experienced vastly different worlds: from massive, corded telephones to cell phones in every pocket; from computers that filled entire rooms to microchips with billions of transisters; from women in pastel dresses to women in business suits. It is no wonder thngs are so different from the 1950s!
Globalization, inflation and economic downturns explain the drop in labor participation and wages, and the drop in the size of households is explained by the drop in birth rate that is occurring in most wealthy nations.
Incarceration rates are easily explained by the so-called "War on Drugs".
And decadence and hedonism is not uncommon in aging emplires -- just look at Rome before the fall.
My last point: who is this "society" being blamed by the author? "Systematically" suggests that someone implemented a decades-long, nationwide plan to emasculate men. To what end? A sheeple populace that will accept tyrrany?
Or perhaps it is just a confluence of trends.
The systematic destruction of the traditional family structure and abortion on demand, have been the dream of liberals for decades. Men simply are better at tuning out when things look the worst. After all, ten seconds of listening to the lies and bullshit of Chalky Nixbama Soetero and I want to go hole up in my parents basement, ditch the ole lady and visit pornhub for a few hours; all the while eating McNuggets and watching my waistline grow. There are very few credible institutions to believe in anymore thanks to Chalky, Clinton, the race pimps Sharpton & Jackson, and the rest of the weasel left who tell you everything is OK.

Sure, it's not the steady decline in real income or the hollowing out of America's industrial core; it's because of some psychobabble bullshit about availability of abortions that I guarantee never entered a single horny teenage mind even once.
LOL
if you don't have a vagina you have no business talking about "abortion on demand"
When you have "role" models like Justin Beaver, what tha fuck you got to look up to!? Teenage tang through a palm mirror!?
Don't be mad. Your hand's just not that into you.
We are a generation of men raised by women.
We have no great war or great depression. Our war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives.
You quote Tyler Durden.
Tyler Durden: Shut up! Our fathers were our models for God. If our fathers bailed, what does that tell you about God?
Nothing, a model says does not necessarily say anything (true) about the phenomena it purports to describe.
If models were always accurate (true), quantitative economics might actually be a potentially worthwhile endeavor!
'IF' -rudyard kipling-
IF you can keep your head when all about youAre losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
I'd like to be emasculated by the girl in the T Shirt 32 times..
Oh, and if she wants to pay the bills, that'd be fine too.
I'll even mow the lawn and fix the plumbing when needed.
See, there's compromise.
So, i guess you've never screwed a chick in your garage? That's what's wrong here. No more garage sex. Hard to get it up when what you're drivin' is a Solara, even if it is red.
Ha, if my garage's walls could talk..
and those in the kitchen, living room,
Mrs. Questions makes me a very lucky man.
We live in an engineered society these days. It's all about social justice and creating the idealized culture. Our planners are blind to many realities, and they harvest sickness. Today's widespread failure among men is a shocking, telling symptom that ought to raise alarms to the high heavens. Our betters mostly can't see the warning sign, and would refuse to recognize it, willfully, if they did. Gender's a mere social construct to them anyway.
And they are sworn to ride this horse down to ground anyway.
Best policy for men is to tune out. To become "The Beautiful Ones" of John B. Calhoun's Rats of NIMH experiments, and watch it burn.
We live in an engineered society these days. It's all about social justice and creating the idealized culture.
Yeah, if only every house had a bright eyed methed-up housewife in heels and apron waiting for her man to come home so she can feed him and wait for him to fuck her and make babies. Just the way its been throughout history.
Once upon a time on a ZH thread someone asked:
and I paraphrase,
where did we go wrong with women?
We gave them shoes
Was the reply.
Look, we can fall into our natural roles without the assist of engineering social or madison avenue-wise, if you ask me, and we're better off for it. I've known women and men who've been breadwinners or not and really there is no problem.
The diminishing wages are the problem creating the need for even a basic household to require two Median icomes, but the introduction of women more widely in the work environment is only a problem for those conditioned to find it out of step with our roles.
Our problem is not the disposal of the fifties television ideal, thats for sure.

"...Do you believe that men are being systematically emasculated in America today?.."
most emphatically and it has been in progress since women were granted the suffrage....however it accelerated in the 1960s with women's lib, a rockefeller nazi program to put women to work for the additional consumption and taxation....
rules, structure, regimentation, process, regulations are all of the feminine and anti-masculine mind...men should be independent but they depend on the corporate whorefare culture and in the end wound themselves psychologically because they have assumed the role of slave.
"however it accelerated in the 1960s with women's lib, a rockefeller nazi program to put women to work for the additional consumption and taxation...."
Aaron Russo's "America: Freedom To Fascism"
women are HUMANS & have rights NOT to be enslaved.
That being said does not induce a culture where women must be dominant bitches or selfish liars or baby machines.
That is a secondary cultural issue. We didn't do enough to stop that shit when it started in media and now it's too late.
I hire young people for my company and I don't want to sound like a grumpy old guy complaining about the new generation, but none of them seem interested in GIRLS. No swagger no bravado, just no stories of girls at all. Most of them seem gay. My neices/nephews, same story, only one nephew has a girlfriend, all of the neices are either single, hooked up with gay-ish types, and one went black and never turned back. She's probably the only one getting good fucking. When I was in high school I brought my girl home, and it was girls girls girls that's all we thought about. Big change in the new generation.
No shit. Every fucking one of the 20 somethings we hire are heavy into fantasy football, fantasy baseball and fantasy everything else.
None of them actually play anything in real life.
There are a lot of very nice, down to earth and refined young women in their 20s. I am in my 40s and married but I have been thinking lately how easy it must be to score a good little setup on the side. I would estimate a massive number of 20 something women get no sex at all because the men are into imaginary video game fantasy crap rather than the good old fashioned in-out in-out.
"a good little setup on the side" ... sound like a great v-game title.
Sounds like a vagina-dependent little boy who still ain't cut the cord.
When you fuck, you're either building a family or jealous of your dad.
I'd've started one but I ain't met a girl worth a damn. So I don't fuck (right now).
LOL summarizes exactly the deadwood nature of today's young men who I encounter at work, it's like they come from a different planet. In the 1970s, 1980s at least I can say every young man had one thing on his mind and that was to fuck women. New world now, full of impotent males who say illness-inducting statements like "when you fuck you are jealous of your dad".
Nice half-quote there, asswipe.
Though I certainly agree that the 70s and 80s were rife with gyno-centric thought. Funny how that proves my point about nations in decline. When did Nixon close the gold window again?
At least I managed to buy silver for $26/oz. today, so thanks for that.
Anything else, bigshot?
I take a few refresher courses at the local JC and see almost no interaction at all between the sexes- the girls seem to enjoy bullshitting around with a dashing older married stud like myself but the younger guys are duds. The reason I flunked out of college a few times was too much pussy and beer.
"There are a lot of very nice, down to earth and refined young women in their 20s. I am in my 40s"
Perhaps there is a causative relation here. Or maybe you just have low standards and don't care if she's as "refined" as molasses and as "down to earth" as the peak of K2, not to mention as intelligent as a housecat, with the maintenance costs of a luxury yacht, and an ego which would make Jamie Dimon blush - in which case, good for you, you can have them, all of them.
I guess the men of suicidal, materialistic, hopelessly progressive societies get the women they deserve. And vice versa.
I also guess it's just a bit too much to ask that we not commit the most obvious fallacy-of-the-single-cause.
+1
A cultural theme of masculine energy directed toward skirt-chasing always marks the decline of a nation, where conversely a cultural theme of productivity marks its ascent.
You create and build, and bitches just show up.
Nope. Drive is drive. You either have it or you don't
Interesting as I have noticed this too...
FWIW...
What the fuck are you talking about? 'nice down to earth refined young women in their 20's?' Ya buddy, keep tellin yourself that. You need to take a step out of the fantasy. These 20 year old women (girls) are not refined. I know plenty of them. Once you actually get to know them as I have and leave the dreamy fantasy you've deluded yourself with, you will find shallow, vain, loathsome, extremely naive, helpless creatures that are only good for fucking and most of them can't even do that well or do it way too much with too many different partners. Keep deluding yourself old perv. Don't fuck your marriage up with some young fat chic that's "refined."
Fucking thank you!
Apparently there are a bunch of his kind on ZH. Fine. But how they can see the manipulation from the Bernank while missing the ball entirely on manipulation by young women is beyond me.
If anyone stands to learn a lesson from the great financial reset, it's the very dumbasses these guys are trying to bang.
"Is there no standard anymore?!" -- Walk by Pantera http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnAUTvBdiIM
Men all over the world throughout countless generations have kept a concubine or two. Used to be, slim pickings and only for the wealthy. Thanks to the current state of young uninterested men, there's a bevy of opportunity here. Not sure where you live but go to a 5k race (here we have several every weekend), and look in other obvious places. I see fit, young, smart single women all over the place. Keep telling yourself that only deluded men find today's young women attractive. LOL.
Men all over the world hate American women. There's even a song from your generation about it.
I'll make plenty of babies in my lifetime, but not with anyone you're looking at.
There really is no standard anymore. Why am I saying this to my elders?
The song was from "The Guess Who", and they were Canadians:
The Guess Who: 'American Woman' (Live)

Thanks for the history lesson. Good luck with your fantasy. Also, your wife may be thinking the same thing? Married milf pussy abounds these days. It's often much more convienient than spending all night chatting up some clueless 'refined 20 year old.' The older women get right down to business and leave early to deal with hubby.
Oh yeah. In my weaker days (early 20s), I would do something like pick up a taut, busty, and married 40 y/o bitch and juice her like a fucking lime the same night. Child's play, literally (re: father envy).
And what was the result of that behavior? A sex act, "benefitting" no one but us. What is the result of the same devotion to, say, industry or science? Much greater than some piss-ant sex act.
There is a time and a place. Anyone mindlessly pursuing getting laid during the greatest recession to date of our lifetime is a fucking idiot and part of the problem. Anyone mindlessly playing video games during the greatest recession to date of our lifetime is also a fucking idiot and part of the problem. This guy and his nephews are two sides of the same debased coin.
Have you tried conversing with 20 year old women in the USA ? They are usually about 4 years behind European women, ie. they talk like 16 year olds. You have to want nothing more than a one-nighter to spend any time with them at all
.
I don't want to sound like a grumpy old guy complaining about the new generation, but none of them seem interested in GIRLS
Milennial American girls are shitty people. I'll take a strike here in this (generational) ballgame. I still have at least 30+ years to make babies. I got nothin' for these bitches right now. I'm content to stake out my own territory and wait out the bullshit. See the video in my previous comment.
Bitchez be the same as always.
After a bout with crippling deflation followed by hyperinflation, bitchez'll be a helluva lot different. I wait.
I don't love you hoes, I'm out the door.
TRUE, true. There must be an evolutionary reason men can do their part for making babies well into their senior years. I'm guessin' that's the reason.
My country is going down the shitter because of religious freaks and their ponzi schemes. So yeah I want to get blitzed and blow up some shit in video games! Go long Ponzi schemes and Banna Republics! WHOOT!
I don't think you know just how spot-on the second sentence is.
According to Time Magazine, unemployed men are significantly more likely to get divorced than employed men are.
Yeah because a lot of women are shallow bitches.
And no wonder the western world has become more and more tyrannical with women given the right to vote...Most women are control freak statists... and women being brought in the workplace + the propaganda that women should have careers instead of families... so the state can take over the kids... and brainwash them.
The main problem is that men need to find a woman worth changing the world for and have correctly come to the conclusion that woman no longer exists. You have to be an idiot to be male and marry in this country. Although I suppose if the penalty for divorce were decapitation, half the men in this country would still marry "cupcake."

There's no mystery in most girls today. Girls are great at following the herd, and today they're led to be quite pluckish, defiant, aggreived and yet triumphant. Highly privileged yet feeling owed. And they have no time for any male short of alphas or their gay pets.
So, yeah, they simply aren't worth much, and they generally aren't that interesting.
On the gay pet thing haha - dated a chic for awhile (hot blonde, master's degree, independant, liberal) she made the mistake of referring to me as 'poodle' in front of her girlfriend. Didn't sit right with me so I fucked her in her utility hole a few times and dumped her, told her 'we weren't right for each other.' Men are smarter and stronger than women regardless of how the deck is rigged.
The male lion eats first because that's the natural order. If the natural order is violated then the species will perish. I like to think humans are not immune to the consequences of violating natural laws but that's a long arguement. We are the all seeing all dancing crap of the universe.
You're disappointed that the young men you hire don't seem interested in girls? Perhaps you are judging them only by how they act in the office? Perhaps you'd prefer to be dealing with a slew of sexual harassment lawsuits?
I'll differ on that one.
I'll gladly be willing to PAY for being able to go out on fancy dates and afford to be married when my wage doubles.
Till then I flat out can't and that's the decision made for me.
I don't bitch at my boss to up my wage. I don't bitch. I just keep trying to find ways to reduce costs and increase my wages. When it happens, it does. If it means I'm broke enough I can't get married then that's that - no marriage.
Capitalism has been so sucessful in the US that it has effectlively rendered 25% of the population or so completely redundant when it comes to the work force. Unfortunenately, most of them are young males...
We can produce far more than what we can consume (even with massive debt growth to pull forward demand) and still have excess labor....
That's increased productivity, which is a good thing, not capitalism.
What's the alternative? Socialism, where you'll still have unemployment but it's OK because we'll just pretend it doesn't exist? Communism, where people who aren't working will be either rounded up into camps because they don't 'think properly', and others will be put to work doing things we could do more efficiently with 1 man and a machine?
Capitalism has brought us all unprecedented levels of wealth. Even the unemployed live better than most of the well-off a century ago.
It's also brought us unprecedented health. Part of the unemployment problem is because many people are living longer lives, and remain working longer, keeping younger folk on the sidelines.
We also retire earlier. Retire? That's a word only the ultra-wealthy would consider using 160 years ago.
Yeah, capitalism sucks. Except for all the good stuff.
Inspector Bird commenting fire right now.
Yep, it has been wonderfully sucessful, but like a lot of ideas it needs a rework when times change...
Think of Newton and Einstein, Newton was a helluva guy but we had to eventually move on to something better because the data told us to...
To be fair, I really should have explicitly said the Anglo-Saxon model of Capitalism as applied to the US and shaped by lobbyists....
Perhaps you can offer options which will work better, rather than assuming data says something is wrong?
Remember, if you're criticizing the current state of affairs, you're really criticizing fascism, not capitalism. We haven't really had capitalism in this country in at least 15 years. Possibly longer. Crony Capitalism? Politically driven capitalism? Yes...and those need to be reformed tremendously for the reasons you mentioned.
But capitalism's benefits are evident and really debatable.
I'll take some short term pain for long term gain any day. And yes, I've been unemployed 4 times in the last 14 years, so I know what I'm talking about.
Flak you of all should know where that so-called incresed productivity comes from: the black stuff gushing out of a very special hole in the ground.
Maybe state capitalism allows it to be distributed "better" - but what does better mean? Apparently it means, "more wastefully".
Where in the U.S. have you seen any form of capitalism? I generally think you're a fairly intelligent person , however if you believe that what we have here in the U.S is anything other than fascism I may have to reconsider that thought. Just as a reminder, free market capitalism allows for the freedom to succeed , but more importantly to fail. Once the protection from failure is put in place that sets the stage for the misallocation of capital and allows for risk that would never take place if it weren't for the guarantee of return.
Yes, Fascism, corporate capitalism, anglo-saxon capitalism, whatever other labels you choose. Fascism is merely natural path evolution of a capitalist system...
And yes, American Capitalism has morphed in Fascism, which is I suppose what my point was originally. Heres the catch, there is no going back to those simpler times. The corporate genie is out of the bottle. How do you realistically balance that power. You can all see the cost, a corrupted democracy. The host is consuming itself...
"Free market capitalism" is an anachronistic ideal that never really existed. Sort of like the world of "Leave it to Beaver" and later on "Happy Days", just a sweet nostalgic look in the rear view mirror...
Sorry...
You make it appear like fascism is a natural extension or end-point of capitalism.
I don't think that's automatically the case. I agree that it often appears that way, but you know, the inventor of fascism was a lifelong socialist who became a coporatist, and so were many of its followers, since.
It is probably natural for any capitalist corporation to wish to expand its size/profits and ultimately control & dominate whichever market sectors it operates in. The tricks and games they play to achieve this are well known and include cosying up to government to extract favourable laws & regulations which enhance their power and control of the marketplace, to the detriment of the competition.
Bit it is governments of the Left who play along with this gameplan. There's nothing more they like than creaming off their share of the wealth sucked up by large corporates and to work with them in their own interests to expand political power. It soon becomes a revolving door of mutual benefit.
That is what we have seen happening in the West over many decades. It has resulted in big money having an unacceptable level of power, control and influence over the process of govenment, which is supposed to be democractic, accountable and working in the best interests of the whole population, not just the people who feed them with slush money. The financial crises is where it all ended up, but there are many other examples of corporates and governments working far too closely together in their own interests, not in those of the citizenry.
The underlying problem is with the system of democracy and political accountability. IE: it has become utterly corrupt. And although the scale of this corrosive melding of big govt with big money is largest in the US, the same thing has happened all over the West.
Regarding the question if fascism is a natural extension or end-point of capitalism, I'd like to suggest a read:
Max Horkheimer & Theodor Wiesengrund Adorno, 'The Dialectic of Enlightenment'
(or if you'd like to go into more details and don't mind a much longer book: 'The Authoritarian Personality')
no, Fascism is the unnatural path of using corporations (in defiance of free markets, being "limited liability") to become governments (already in defiance of free markets, having almost NO liability in the long-run)
Free market capitalism is what black markets are. It isn't ever "official" but it can be dominant and it works very well.
I think men are being emasculated, but the process is entirely unrelated to many of the things you've listed.
Watch any ad on TV. White males, in particular, are typically shown to be unresponsive, uncaring, or simply out of touch with reality if they are not portrayed as outright morons. Black males can be portrayed the same way, but are sometimes given solid role-model situations.
While many of the statistics you cite are accurate and meaningful, they don't tell the whole story. As someone once told me, men were sold out years ago when our moms were raising us. At the age of 19, this fellow commented to me "what do you wear, boxers or briefs?" The answer was briefs.
He pointed out this was because (and I agree) my mom felt briefs were more like her underwear, and couldn't relate to boxers. I've since switched and I only wear briefs to work out.
Basically, the abandonment of children by their fathers plays a huge role. I was a child of divorced parents. My father didn't want custody, even if the court would've given it to him (unlikely even today). Fact is, as divorce rates began rising in the 50's and 60's, women were increasingly playing both male and female roles for their children....and it's the men who suffered. This problem has ONLY gotten WORSE.
As our place in society became less assured, we were starting to be told we were unfair to women. Cheating them, abusing them, etc. Was some of this true? Of course, but by and large it was not. It was just easy to convince men it was true, and our self-worth tended to plummet.
Are we raising slackers today? Yes. Why? Because every article talks about how women are better at everything. They are smarter, more collaborative, more caring, etc. None of this is true, but we're being told it is and it exacerbates an already bad problem.
I blame the media. It tends to spread conjecture as fact and myth as truth, and when it tells us that "men are the problem", as it does regularly, we tend to withdraw....what other option is there? The emasculated ones, who have accepted their pathetic positions willingly, are now in positions of power to tell the real men how awful we are.
Obama is a freaking female. He's got not one single male bone in his body. He's an effete asshole.
Your comment is more meaningful than the original post.
I've known women who should never had children, men too. Drugs, alcohol, selfishness and cruelty tops the list.
I've also know good parents of either gender.
What you say is true. This culture denies a father's right to be a father many times. In case of child abuse or other forms of abuse, I understand, but many times that is not the case. Many times it is just about the dollar.
In respect to masculinity, you don't have to be a Rambo or be the first to rush into a fight or be a jock to be a man. I walked away from fights, had a few and started a few in my time. Won a few, lost a few.
You know something? It takes a man to stand his ground without having to resort to blows. I never understood that when I was young, I do now.
This piece is stupid. Isn’t this the “fairness” results that affirmative action was engineered to produce? Shouldn’t an equally fair question be “why don’t women want to be mothers?”
You mean social engineering doesn’t mesh with nature? Well no shit doctor.
Capitalism has been so sucessful in the US that it has effectlively rendered 25% of the population or so completely redundant when it comes to the work force. Unfortunenately, most of them are young males...
We can produce far more than what we can consume (even with massive debt growth to pull forward demand) and still have excess labor....
If we don't need 25% of our workforce, why do we need so many immigrants? All industries are crying for immigrants. All of them, from the turnip patch to Silicon Valley.
Its all about dishonesty. The Silicon Valley firms receive hundreds of resumes from qualified people (mostly men) when they advertise positions. They throw those resumes out, and hire foreigners. Simply to suppress the wages on the talent that's already employed, and to create an environment of slavery and low labour costs.
The problem for the country is that they also discard plenty of people who could be top talent if developed appropriately in the workforce.
Its cheaper to import talent developed elsewhere than to grow it at home... Combined with the observation that well educated people tend to be less materialistic and more discriminating consumers....
You guys still haven't figured that out....
Add to that the effect of holding visa workers "hostage" for a chance at getting a green-card and you've got workers almost as pliant as Chinese slaves.
Don't forget that importing "talented" (lol) Paki and Nigerian doctors and IT guys also brings with it the added advantage of allowing the government an excuse to bring in their enormous third world families with them to further break down what little is left of white Christian America.
The notion that the people who invented modern medicine and computers now suddenly need a bunch of third worlders to come and do those jos for us is patently absurd, and perhaps the best example of how traitorous our own government has become.
"further break down what little is left of white Christian America. "
Oh boo hoo. You didn't care about breaking down First Nations North America when you were illegal immigrants.
Fair turnaround is a bitch.
As bad as these facts are it pales in comparison to the state of the global financial system and with that it's everyone for themselves in this new normal.
Male dominated professions such as in engineering and IT have been systemically targetted for elimination by allowing the H-1B program to exist when there is no shortage of US labour in neither the engineering nor the IT sectors.
Regarding the H1B program, I disagree.
There may be ample bodies, but if they are a product of the U.S. educational system during the last 10-15 years, they are stunted in comparison to their overseas competition.
This is straight up. Most managers in the high tech sectors have a hard time finding creative, problem solving TALENT in the U.S.. Lots of people walking around with the basic skill sets and degrees, but in order to remain competitive in a global market, they need TALENT. And unfortunately, right now some of the best ideas and the best talent in software, mechanical and electrical engineering is coming from overseas.
The international talent also brings with them a completely different work ethic and set of expectations.
Yet domestic grads can submit their resumes hundreds of times to firms in their respective sectors, not even to receive the courtesy of a response. That doesn't say anything about firms looking for talent, more so than it does about firms just looking for cheap labour.
If firms aren't even bothering to call the domestic talent in for interviews, how do they even know that they're not able to find what they're looking for in the domestic market? There is no trouble finding creative problem solving talent in the US. Firms aren't even looking. "Most managers" basically have their heads shoved so far up the HR functionaries' asses that they wouldn't know talent from that random brown stuff that also exists up there.
Americans have lost respect for engineering as a discipline; they'd rather be paid for making bad home pornos or get voted off an island.
have to admit, the porn would pay more. Also, the wages for engineers keeps dropping as India & Chinese wages compete plus now we realize the bulk of the high-paying work is for the military industrial treason (oopsies) I mean military complex. Therefore to starve the beast means not only refusing taxes to it but also skilled abilities to make the beast stronger.
So not only are you pro-Israel and a black apologist, but you are pro-H1B as well. What a surprise.
I always thought it was bizarre that the people who invented modern computers and modern medicine now suddenly need some Paki doctor or IT guy to immigrate here with his 18 family members because of some supposed lack of "talent."
You are full of it.
Feminists have a legitimate grievance. But so does everyone else.
That's the most honest statement I've read tonight.
The basic, natural differences between men and women have created today's gap. When a fetus is about five weeks old an enzyme is created that severs the connection between the right and left hemisphere of a male (in 85% of the cases). This severing does not take place in the female (85 % of the time) and she will spend her entire life being able to process with two hemisphere simultaneously ... the male will process with either right or left at one time, but not both.
This is why 85% of women are more like men and 85% of men are more like women ... it's nature and it has confused men and women for centuries ("Why can't a woman be more like a man?", "men are form Mars ..."). You may have observed this when a woman can be doing three things at once and still hold a rather decent conversation or a woman can be conversing with a man and he is about a thousand miles away in his own 'created' world.
In light of this and looking at the complexity and variety of technology jobs today, there is more need for mult-processors where in the past, good jobs went to strong, competent and single-minded (read focused) men, who could bang their head on the wall until the wall gave in. The job market and needs changed from physical to multi-processing thought work and with the requirement for two salaries to maintain a home, the migration of women into the workforce progressed while leaving child raising to other women. I am not saying that men cannot do well intellectually (the best programmers that ever worked for me were men), but they are not as prepared as women (read education), are not as malleable (follow directions), and can two things at once to boot.
Give me a team of men with a common focus, the right motivation and skill level and they will run rings around a similar group of women, until they get bored and move their minds somewhere else).
Guys, women are here to stay, unless we can go back to manufacturing, construction, war and crime.
Plenty of bullshit assumptions in this post.
Yeah, I decided to go my own way long ago. Doesn't mean I don't fool around, just means I make no commitments to any chicks.
The writting was on the wall when the government started to enact all sorts of common-law rules and the creation of palimony on those males trying to avoid this mess by choosing to shack up rather than get married.
I still believe shacking up is the way to go. Just make sure you live in an abode that has at least 2 separate bedrooms with a bed in each so that if there is ever any doubt in a court of law, you can claim you were nothing more than roommates.
In addition, NEVER file dual tax returns. Always file separate. This is the governments way of establishing a common law relationship.
I almost have to wonder if a bachelors tax may one day be created when things go farther south much like one was established just before the Roman Empire fell.
I would like to add the following:
Much of this change in our culture comes as a consequence, or byproduct, of a prosperous Nation being over run by liberal mindset.
In the good times, women, who by their very nature are rebellious and desire to control men, are regularly presented with alternatives to putting up with the struggles and challenges of marriage. Fed by bullshit television programming such as The View, Sex in the City, the Kardashian HumpFest and others, topics like the the simplicity of divorce and striking out on a new life sets in motion dramatic changes in what is important to a culture.
Add in a heavy dose of exposure to the message that abortion is OK, is available anytime, at any age and that young girls need not have their parents involvement dramatically impacts a societal view on the sanctity for life.
Add in a HEAVY dose of gay creep where, ever so slowly, the concept of same sex couples becomes normalized, is no longer an abomination before God, but is considered a perfectly natural and exciting alternative lifestyle. Even the Catholic church turns a blind eye to it, pays off victims and moves the pedophile priests around to keep things hushed up.
As the economy continues to worsen, we will see more and more women, once married and now divorced, in scramble mode to try and find a new man. Unfortunately for them, most clear headed real men are saying "F*** THAT!" Why take on the added baggage? Why take the chance at being the next sucker? Why take on the added grief, added expense, added bullshit, particularly with those women who come with kids from a previous marriage they decided to dump?
The irony of it all is that in most impoverished 3rd world shitholes in the world, marriage and family are CENTRAL in the culture, and to survival. Women and men understand their God-given roles and, for the most part, stick to them. While gays exist, they are regularly stoned back into the shadows. Divorce and abortion are last ditch option and liberals are regularly thrown off cliffs.
It will be interesting to see where we are 20 years from now.
ever so slowly?
I stand corrected.
These days it is dramatically speeding up. They used to be a little slower in their approach.
The death knell was when they gave Women the right to abort a Man's child at will.
Getting Women into the workforce and discriminating against Men to do so while increasing net disposable income, and thus consumption, was key as well.
If you are a White Male it is even worse as you are doubly discriminated - one strike for White, one strike for Male.
http://www.avoiceformen.com/georgetown-university-and-men/georgetown-university-in-a-cover-up/
can't wait to see how this turns out
no, the death-knell was when women would pretend to be on the pill and the man would be on the hook. From that moment on a huge valley of mistrust opened.
Abortion is a right: a woman's body includes a fetus as a dependant BODY PART until birth.
I am going to pass on this one, I could write a book. Yes, it's plan...and YOU aren't in it!
Oh, boo-hoo! Everyone's being mean to men! SHUT THE FUCK UP, you fucking losers. If you can't go out and get a job, and sustain a relationship, and deal with self-sufficient women, and make a decent life for yourself, it's YOUR FAULT! Nobody else's. Your parents were almost certainly dysfunctional assholes, and now YOU ARE, too! It's really not that complicated. But yes, I know--the problem is women. Or gays. Or abortion. Or society. LOL...guess what? NO IT'S NOT! It's you, and only you. END OF STORY. You only get one life to live. If you're not living yours the way you want to, then you have FAILED as a human being, and you should either kill yourself or just shut up so the rest of us don't have to listen to you.
Vooter! Harsh but fair.
I'm sorry. What did you say? I wasn't listening. I couldn't get my mind off the fact that your fly is unzipped.
It's repeating behavior because of attraction to what feels familiar.
Natural instinct to recreate what is familiar to us during formative years. though one can attempt to deviate from their norm. It requires thought, actual analysis of what triggers a desire to succeed but an inability to follow the steps required.
A great effort to resist a knee jerk reaction under stressful conditions as autopilot can kick in. Repeating observed behavior learned for exposure during stress (drink, leave, rage, collapse in on oneself, or take the reigns) is an auto reflex.
Time and energy are depleted during the required self analysis and analysis of events in complicated situations. Occupied space in our heads, more that what would be required driving from work to home, which could otherwise be invested in a chosen talent/skill and advance themselves in life. Generally speaking. The unexamined life is a life not worth living, I guess.
It is being so bad for the mens because the mens of today were raised by many mens who were not good at being mens.
Are you another man-hating lesbian?
That must be why the gov't has all those programs to empower men and push them into colleges. Zero sum game ya know.
Vooter, I wish more men in this country "demanded" that women be self sufficient and tote their own load emotionally , financially, and legally. I find that american women want "equality" when it suits them but become old fashioned when within 10 meters of the cash register at a restaurant when it's time to pay. I just have to go and powder my nose and will be back after the bill has been paid. I call it the "feminist flu"...gee where did all the girls go when the check came? Further, in the US, don't go into a courtroom (divorce or otherwise) with a set of nuts as you will be at a severe dissadvantage. Just check out the statistics on sentences given out for the same crime between men and women here in the land of the free. In the USSA, if you are charged with sexual harassment (verbal or otherwise) you are guilty until proven innocent. The feminists won the war in the '70s and 80's and this is the result. America, what is left of your culture is fu__ed!
Just remember this. Pussy is, and always will be, undefeated.
There is nothing to do.
It would be great if my labor meant a goddam thing, but it does not.
If i can only barely buy my own fucking way, what does it matter to a woman?
The state will provide.
I know it hasn't changed much, but the truth remains:
Women have half the money and ALL the pussy.
This does not include man-pussy, for you don't ask, don't pray kind of gals.

Go to Japan to see the death of men. The fucking women demanded their own train, and they got it. Now they are demanding to be of greater standing in the workplace and hold jobs equal to men without the experience necessary to have them.
The Japanese don't do anything half ass, the women caught the feminist bug and they aren't going to rest until the men of Japan are caged and only brought out for procreation, which they will not be allowed to enjoy.
The poor Japanese men are scared, so blindsided by the women that they don't know what to do. You see an old man crying in the back seat of a train. A few years ago he'd be pinching young schoolgirl's asses. Now he just makes the pinching motion with tears rolling down his cheeks.
adr, you are totally misreading Japan. The women wanted their own train because they were being harassed like crazy on the mixed train, by a bunch of porn-reading old dude creeps. If men did stuff like that on an American train they'd get arrested, and rightly so. They don't arrest them for that in Japan, so women had to seek a separate train.
Women in Japan really have not gotten the feminist bug; look at their politicians and corporate leaders and other people with power. There are NO women. NONE. Women there are still stuck in old-time sex roles.
You're actually feeling sorry for someone who doesn't get to molest schoolgirls????? Good God.
I agree that Japanese men are a mess, but I think it's due to environmental pollutants that act as estrogens.
They absolutely do arrest men for that in Japan. In fact there is a famous Japanese movie about a man who was falsely accused of being a subway groper and pushed through the penal system.
Don't believe what you read about Japan in our anti-Japanese Kosher media.
Fuck that I have 3 boys that are kicking ass and taking names in their school acadmically. AP math, science, literacy and social studies. All A's all damned year. Won't accept anything less. All in taekwondo, not a belt mill as they fail if they can't do the "job" Perhaps because I stayed home and raised them while the wife worked they didn't turn out to be spoiled little slacker brats as i would've kicked that ass. In my home the size of the paycheck doesn't determine the dominance of the person. That is where society gets it wrong. When a stay home dad feels something less than a man and accepts being emasculated because he lacks some form of self worth and only allows himself to be defined by his paycheck then let the mind fuck begin. Be a man, allow and encourage your woman to flourish. The more successful she gets the better your life gets. She goes to work, kicks ass, comes home and makes dinner then a little shamany a couple times a week and lifes pretty freakin' good.
You're one of my faves on here. +1!
I'm flattered. Thank you.

"#30 Men consume far more pornography than women do".
You make that sound like a bad thing. Why do you think high-speed internet was invented in the first place?
Why do you spend so much time making lists? Why are the lists always more than 20 items, when they could easily be distilled to 2 or 3? I keep picturing a dissheveled person akin to Rain Man nervously pacing around a hoarder-like apartment writing down the lists in a notebook.
High speed internet for the high speed man
They had one with 12 a few days ago. Porn is good, some people believe, because it satisfies an urge. The lists are just the way they do stuff. As for the article, my mother noticed a while back that in all commercials, men are made out to be dumbasses. My wife encourages me to strive and be strong. She also encourages porn, especially when she is around! She has a penchant for gym porn. I like the office stuff myself.
So THAT'S where all the office sybian queries are coming from out of that leak Snowden dropped. Just to be clear, you & your wife DON'T work for the SEC, right?
:D (/sarc for those not able to read between the lines)
Women have as much sexual needs as men it's just that they repress them because of the way we are brought up... Female sexuality is kind of taboo still... A man having sex with lots of women is a hot shot while a woman doing the same is a whore??
So it's cultural...
Have every child genetically tested before a man's name is put on the birth certificate. That taboo will eventually disappear. But will the women allow that?
repress?
Not that I've seen.
They just make a choice between when it's time to net the one with money, or net the careless one they won't ever speak to again.
Men are into ... rather than starting a family? What is this the 50s?
#31 Stores are having 20 times more pants to be selling having the label that is meaning "fat boy" except the label they are having is "relax fit" or "fatty ass"

#33 American boys are never having to be wiping dog poop from their boots because it is their sandals that are having the poops because there are no dogs out of houses without ropes and chains they are having to make them not be having freedom to be with other dogs or to be chasing cats. Cats are now having many birds they are killing but dogs are not free.
#34 Life for boys is sucking and many kinds of sucking are not what it should be.
LOL.
And I thought we'd never get to what the mattering 'is'.
Good job AnAnonageruda.
There are a lot of very nice, down to earth and refined young women in their 20s. I am in my 40s and married but I have been thinking lately how easy it must be to score a good little setup on the side. I would estimate a massive number of 20 something women get no sex at all because the men are into imaginary video game fantasy crap rather than the good old fashioned in-out in-out.
You don't get it. You seem to think there's something magically rewarding about female company. There's not. Today's boys have realized that video games these days are better than women these days. Ergo, they try to score Liara in Mass Effect. That A LOT more sexy than most women, it has an exciting chase, and you don't have to put up with all the boatload of crap you'd get with a real female.
If you weren't forced to deal with a real female, why in the hell would you?
Right on. The reason that Liara in Mass Effect is attractive, is that she won't lie to you about using the pill, in order to lock you into twenty years of child-support servitude.
Karenica, I purposefully place myself around the men like this as much as possible because I want to shake their world. I want them to realize their image of women is wrong. No, of course I wouldn't give the time of day to anyone that would do violence or abuse me in any way. Ok, I will be the first to admit I haven't really changed their view in entirety. Most end up saying " you I really care for but...all other women are manipulative sluts". You cant waver prejudice by anger and judgement. They want us to respond in shock and anger, thereby holding fervently to their view. Let the pus flow out. It is just venting and means nothing. Hold your head up high, smile and be true to yourself and let the words roll off you. we women tend to be sensitive to words so this can be hard ( I know!) . This is good practice.
Miffed;-)
Or, how about we men simply ignore you? Oh sure, the gammas are going to swarm in and court you. Nothing can stop that moth sensing a flame. But for other men, why deal with this sort of crap?
By all means feel free to ignore all the women in the world. I'm sure they will be crushed.
This article is a food for thought.
Maybe the Americans should go to war against their women, drop some bombs on them, slaughter several million. Is that what this article is promoting? Don't we have enough hate already? Sounds like we just need to quick the bitchin and whining and grow up. I certainly never blamed my wife when she had a job and I was layed off. Getting crazy, all this "alternative" garbage being disseminated and regurgitated around the iNet.
+ 1000
What the hell happened to the male reputation for rationality?
Are you a man-hating lesbian? Sure sound like it.
Are you a dumbass redneck devoid of reading comprehension? Sure sound like it.
Americans are programmed by their media unlike anybody on earth except their understudies in the UK. They watch trashy movies made for College Summer and have inane rubbish on TV with fake masculine movies with Bruce Willis or Stallone.
They don't have the grit of Stalingrad or Das Boot or Hill in Korea or 9th Company or 39th Battalion.
There is a gritty realism now missing from US movies replaced by props and gadgets and CGI. The hard reality is missing from life and it makes Americans components of vehicular machines rather than bi-peds. Have you seen that the US $25 billion in kit to Afghanistan and is now scrapping 33% of it selling it for peanuts to Afghan scrap dealers because it is too difficult to extract it ?
The GDP of Afghan is $34 billion.
"one survey found that 25 percent of all employees that have Internet access visit sex websites while they are at work"
I guess this means that 50 percent of male employees that have internet access visit sex websites at work.
As men we need to start taking responsibility! We can't blame anyone but ourselves. Porn addiction and video game addiction falls soley on our shoulders as it's primarily a male created and dominated industry. We are our own worst enemy. We allow ourselves to be emasculated. I quit watching sports a long time ago. Atleast to any significant degree. It's a start. Look how stupid sports make us look nowadays. And the sports industry is owned and run by men mostly. Blaming anyone but ourselves is a cop out. Men are just stupid and emasculated nowadays because their fathers have dropped the ball. If they are even around. Women got their shit together decades ago and it's paying off. Men are living off the fumes of their grandfather's generation. We better start getting our shit together. Young men need to be taught that they need to not let pussy control their manhood and self respect.
got their shit together, you say?
Or maybe this has something to do with it:
if a girl decides later on she doesn't like you much anymore, suddeny any past events of consenting sex could be cast as non-consenting if she says so. You know what I'm talking about. I don't doubt there's pigs out there who really rape & they deserve severe punishment including castration. That being said it's something a man pretty much can not defend against because hey, what normal man makes sure there's witnesses for consenting sex?
Or, how about this:
if your wife decides to bankrupt you and take the kids so you'll never keep what you earn and she may never spend it on the kids but you certainly won't see them again, that's tough shit on you, the legal system will happily hand it all over to her? Ya, think about that.
Emasculated? You mean like leaving pithy little comments on stupid "fianancial" blog? ....oops. Next you'll start "tweeting".
What a dumb fucking post. Oh boo hoo, nobody gets married, enforces rigid gender roles, finds god and cooperates with social mind control anymore.
Yes it's emasculation, and it's systematic. It's part of the process. The process of making a slave:

Funny how most of the responses to the article were about Women and how fucked up they are/might be.
The men I know are the same old gang of pricks that they always were, but the rules have changed !
What kind of man plays in a casino if he knows the game is rigged ? Men have not changed, the landscape has changed, but men are Withdrawing from the horse shit. If your dad could work at the plant for 30 years and support a wife and 3 spawn, then why can't you ?
That is all your average dickhead wants, family,food,shelter and a regular screw. Everything else is gravy. But your average Joe nowadays has no hope of that happy suburban ideal, not a fucking chance. Buy a house while working at the ketchup factory, ain't happening.
Theirs a war on and if you are packing a penis, your the enemy, the guilty party, the offender, unless you work for the government.
