The Manosphere, as it is called, seems to be undergoing a very positive transformation. When I was doing my blog about feminism, I used to wish so much that more decent men would speak out more against feminism. And now they are, and they are doing so in a way that is very accepting and loving towards women. Not always politically correct, but that’s ok.

Sorry, I didn’t explain very well. Ten years ago, the “manosphere” seemed to be made up entirely of very nerdy guys who were upset that women wouldn’t date them. They claimed to be against feminism, but what they really seemed to want was to hold women’s feet to the fire on feminism. They became very angry with me when I would speak about chivalry. They were to put it mildly, not well adjusted people, but that seems to have changed, and that is a very good thing.
The gentleman speaking in this clip is basically just repating statistics that conservatives have been repeating for years, but waht is novel about him is the fact that he questions the idea that women should be strong and independent. Too often, the conservatives who speak on these issues also support feminism. Conservatives are much nicer than the old men’s rights activists used to be, but most conservatives support feminism. This guy doesn’t. That is novel. There is no question that we have catastrphic cultural problems. In the end, we can either decide that women are failing feminism, or that feminism is failing all children. Too many conservatives think that feminism could work, if only we did it better, or differently, or something. I don’t think that is the case. I don’t want to tell anyone how to live their lives, and most men don’t either. If a woman wants a career, great, but the reality is, most women don’t. The 1950’s lifestyle was a far better reflection of what makes most women happy that our current society is.

I’m getting a read on younger men that they are wary of women and would rather sit home and watch porn because it is “hassle free.” I think the conflict between the sexes that many feminists have for so long encouraged has taken root and I would not like to be dating right now. There is little if any trust that remains between men and women and that is the biggest tragedy.
Remember that female student who ran around Columbia U with a mattress on her head because her “hook-up” had dumped her for other women and she attempted to get him expelled for sexual harassment? Miraculously, Columbia, a notoriously liberal school, read the texts and e-mails between the two of them and ignored her claim. If I were that young man, I’d never date (or whatever you call it nowadays) again!

I know, that is why I am so hopeful that by some miracle, some younger men are speaking out in a constructive way. From what I can tell, nutcases like the girl with the mattress are a tiny minority, but women need to speak out more too. Hopefully, the more men speak out, the more women will speak out, and vica versa, like a positive loop 🙂

That girl with the mattress did receive an enormous amt of press when NY Senator Gillibrand invited her as a guest to Trump’s last SOTU. 😦

An additional comment here because this subject intrigues me. Back in the dark ages when I was single and dating, women had a lot of control over the situation. We played little games: No Saturday night date if you called after Wednesday, the male always picked me up no matter how far he lived across town, men paid the check! (I still remember how angry my future husband was when I accidentally picked up the dinner check while he was in the restroom. That was the beginning of the ‘confusing’ times when working women weren’t sure what to do.) 🙂
In any case, women have lost a lot of their power by creating a hostile environment and refusing to allow men to behave in a chivalrous manner. I haven’t forgotten the numerous times men have apologized for opening the door for me!

I started thinking about feminism very early in life, thanks to one of my aunts who was a feminist. She was an unusual feminist: she wasn’t a lesbian, and she was stunningly beautiful, but she was so aggressive. She started, when I was 4 or 5 years old, to explain to me why I ought to go into combat with men. I always told her that I did not want to do this, but she would not take no for an answer. She would always say, “If women want equal rights, they will have to take on equal responsibilities.” Women had equal rights at that time-we had the right to vote, and the right to pursue any career we wanted, but my aunt seemed to think that unless women acted exactly as men, then we didn’t deserve rights at all-she would blow up in the face of any man who disagreed with her.

I think I might live in a time warp in this respect. Men in Western Mass virtually always hold the door for me, and I always make sure to thank them for it. Once in a blue moon, a guy will be a jerk, but that hardly ever happens, and no one has ever apologized to me for holding the door. But I know, after visiting NYC, that it isn’t like this everywhere.

I was pleased about the doors but I didn’t thank or chastise. I expected it. 🙂 And that, once again, is where feminazis lose power; men used to like to do that sort of thing and were thrilled when nobody said a damn word!

The above comment is the ultimate irony; why should a woman act like a man? She is perfectly competent to accomplish many things in her own way. Thank goodness I grew up in retail; one of the first industries to recognize and promote women. If I’d worn one of those infamous “Dress for Success” mannish suits with those dreadful string ties, I’d have failed. I had to look “hip” which was very feminine and fun and I enjoyed learning to dress for NYC. However, my financial goals were no different than my male counterparts and I was expected to perform as well as anybody.
In fact, I became known as the toughest negotiator in the business and was justly compensated.
I still don’t understand all this acrimony; it’s distracting for everybody. I loved both my male bosses and counterparts and “vibed” with them as well as my female peers.

Nicely done, JaC! A couple of my nephews are in their 30s, bright, funny, and successful. They’re not even dating, because hooking up is not for them; and “wokie” relationships are a minefield. Poor fellas!

That is awful! I just had an idea. Maybe we could start a dating site for traditional men and women to meet each other? Someone has to do something.
