Article here. Excerpt:

'The unemployment ax is falling hard on men - many are in jobs that don't require education beyond high school; this will transcend the current economic crisis due to the combined effects of technology and globalization.

Obama and Congress face millions of angry and disillusioned unemployed young men.

For every 100 women enrolled in college in the U.S., 77 men are. And this trend is continuing to worsen. In regard to bachelor degrees, it's 10-0/63. In regard to associate (community colleges), it's 10-0/67.

For every 100 women ages 18-21 in prison, 1,430 men are. For every 100 young women, ages 20-24 who commit suicide, 624 young men will.

...Last month Obama created the White House Council for Women and Girls. Right there in the White House.

Women's groups pressured him - about 50 of them, I hear. They wanted an actual cabinet seat for a Women's Office, but now are happy that they have the entire cabinet as every matter that now comes before the cabinet must include an assessment of what impact it will have on women and girls. One well known lady evidently exclaimed that now we have a nation of women.'

The US has pretty much screwed itself. For centuries, men worked hard to ensure that society flourished. They took all the hard jobs, they sacrificed their families to get that late-night research in, they worked overtime to put food on the table, and they definitely took the risks. Now that society has advanced far enough, it's time for women to take over, rewrite history, and ensure that the future belongs to only them.

Now that women are in charge the U.S. with either decline or at best stagnate. Women won't make the sacrifices needed for society to advance. Men will be divided to those who will sacrifice, those who will sacrifice only under duress, and those who have been deprived by women and have nothing to sacrifice.
