The Sexodus, Part 1: The Men Giving Up On Women And Checking Out Of Society
Article here. Excerpt:
'"My generation of boys is f**ked," says Rupert, a young German video game enthusiast I've been getting to know over the past few months. "Marriage is dead. Divorce means you're screwed for life. Women have given up on monogamy, which makes them uninteresting to us for any serious relationship or raising a family. That's just the way it is. Even if we take the risk, chances are the kids won't be ours. In France, we even have to pay for the kids a wife has through adulterous affairs.
"In school, boys are screwed over time and again. Schools are engineered for women. In the US, they force-feed boys Ritalin like Skittles to shut them up. And while girls are favoured to fulfil quotas, men are slipping into distant second place.
"Nobody in my generation believes they're going to get a meaningful retirement. We have a third or a quarter of the wealth previous generations had, and everyone's fleeing to higher education to stave off unemployment and poverty because there are no jobs.
"All that wouldn't be so bad if we could at least dull the pain with girls. But we're treated like paedophiles and potential rapists just for showing interest. My generation are the beautiful ones," he sighs, referring to a 1960s experiment on mice that supposedly predicted a grim future for the human race.
After overpopulation ran out of control, the female mice in John Calhoun's "mouse universe" experiment stopped breeding, and the male mice withdrew from the company of others entirely, eating, sleeping, feeding and grooming themselves but doing little else. They had shiny coats, but empty lives.
"The parallels are astounding," says Rupert.'

a very enlightening read.
the commenters quickly broke out into what I call the 4 major groups w/ serious opinions about what is going on between the sexes.
1. feminists: I list them 1st only because they are being blamed for the problem almost everyone is experiencing, men no longer buying what society is selling - male servitude. seeing as how the results are exactly what they took great pains to design, its a real no-brainer to say the criticism is well placed.
2. manginas: the word speaks volumes by itself. most of these are the married forever guys who haven't been introduced to divorce court, yet. they see marriage as being a great place and still believe if anything should ever happen to their marriage, it will be their fault and (worst case) men will get 50% of everything. he will gladly do whatever is needed to make the marriage work, and can't fathom life w/o the wife. I am all about inclusiveness, but imho, this guy needs to just stay on the sidelines in this debate. he's been lucky, and luck can change hands very quickly. as we (Americans) can see from our own political mistakes, weak/no proper credentials and no experience does not equate or magically morph into wisdom or knowledge about anything.
3. non-Marxist women: these are the women who say they want no part of the professional victimhood mantra. it was refreshing to me to finally hear a smart woman (priz) tell the history of feminism. it rose out of marxism. the baby favors closely its mother. the most obvious feature (to me) being that they both seek to completely control everything and everybody around them. they cannot see other arguments, and will get physical and hostile when faced w/ dissenters. sounds a lot like what many marriages have morphed into since divorce courts and judges started calling the shots. this kind of power corrupts and feeds on itself.
4. today's men: those objects of derision and scorn whose only purpose is to serve (and occasionally when given permission, service) the local princess. that idea that women no longer care about monogamy is correct. no fault divorce primarily caused that, and its not only France where men have to pay for whatever children the wife brings home from the hospital. the u.s. has millions of children w/ doubtful parentage, all the way to the top dogs.
btw, just read yesterday where Richard III(? brit king just accidentally dug up under a parking lot(?))- d.n.a. showed that some royals ain't so royal after all.
anyhoo - it was an article well worth reading.
"empty" lives?
Really? Did Buddha (never married, celibate after he turned to asceticism in his early 20s) lead an "empty life"? (The basic tenets of Buddhism and use of the word "empty" is an irony not lost on me.) Do priests of celibate denominations lead "empty lives"? Some, maybe, but it wouldn't be anywhere close to accurate to suggest living free from the hazards of marriage/LTRs leads to certain emptiness-of-life. I don't mean to sound utterly pessimistic abt LTRs here; ppl can and do have really good ones. The big factor here is that they're much more fraught with legal and social hazards than prior to feminist jurisprudence and the misandry feminism has inspired than it used to be, speaking of course in terms of the avg. man's POV.
But making reference to religious figures or clerics as examples for the typical straight young man to follow in lieu of being able to find a gf is a pretty big stretch. While I acknowledge that most younger men have a hard time successfully initiating contact with young women they don't yet know, this is largely due to the politics of human biology and it's been a truism since perhaps the dawn of sexual biology among mammals. My mom used to talk abt how she and her friends would use the classic "Buzz off, creep!" on guys who hit on them in bars, train stations, etc. I wonder how many were actually hitting on her and her friends vs. just being friendly. Anyway, this was well before the '60s era feminism.
So while modern feminism has fostered misandry, making the motivation for this kind of rejection two-fold (biological and ideological), it's not like this phenomenon is new. But with misandry at work, there are no societal motivations left for young women to even "be approachable", much less friendly, to young men, as they have now been taught to assume not just an erotic motivation behind any given man's talking to them, but now a nefarious one.
As for the biology reference, there is a natural tendency in most high-fecundity-potential aged mammalian females to be selective in their contact with males. It's all about being careful abt whose kids they have. Many subconscious decisions get made around biological compatibilty, in particular re the immune system; these decisions are beyond control of the conscious mind and help explain why ppl can indeed fall for "the wrong person". It also explains why some ppl swear they have met their one-and-only; it's really just biochemistry at work, esp. when there's a high degree of sexual attraction, too. You may note that looks in such cases frequently do not matter; when you meet another person you have this kind of chemistry with, what they look like can go hang. She'll be the Victoria's Secret lingerie model married happily to the scrawny geeky math teacher or he'll be the buff, rich, famous athlete or businessman (etc.) with an IQ of 160 to boot married to the shy, slightly-to-moderately overweight mousy lady in the data entry section who never went to college and wears horn-rimmed glasses. And in both scenarios, they'll be bonkers for ea. other and f*ck like rabbits every day and ppl will wonder "how 'those two' could possibly be together??". It's all chemistry.
And yes, this sudden specific attraction thing happens to men, too, but the nature of male mammals' role in sexual reproduction has evolved to be as accomodating to "feminine mate-focused selectivity" as possible. Not all men (spkng here of straight and bi men) are categorically so approachable to women, but many are, and evolutionarily it makes sense. It gives women as broad a range of choices of mate as possible. So the "guys are *so easy*, they'd f-ck every woman they could if they had their way but no one seems to judge them for that!" observation made by resentful women and men with a sense of irony are accurate enough (provided one remembers it should read "most men..." instead of just "men...") isn't off the mark, but it should be kept in mind that this phenomenon, though a source of complaints of dbl-standard-based judgments women who aren't as particular in choice of mates (short or long-term or both) as other women, actually serves the purpose of allowing women in general much greater discretion of choice in who they can get as a mate. If most men were as discretionary abt who they want to get it on with as most women, I doubt humanity would have survived/thrived as it has.
But regardless, if you add the misandrist programming of feminism to the "buzz off creep" unapproachability of the typical young woman toward young men, now you have a 1-2 punch to ordinary interactions between the sexes in that age group the likes of which has probably never been seen before. The boxer is down for the count.
So I get how this German guy mentioned at the start of the article feels. I experienced the "auto-rejection" phenomenon at his age, too. Most young men do. Those who don't are either famous, rich, or both. See how that works? :)
The good news is, as one gets older, women of all ages become a lot more friendly to you, possibly for different reasons, but they do. It gets easier. In the mean time, like most men throughout history, the best a young man can do is live his life doing things not centered around just meeting girls. Eventually, a prospective mate will make herself known to him.
I've observed before that because of mammalian sexual biology, males are in the unenviable position of possessing only the power to reject a female's interest in him or leave a rel'p w/ her. It's in her court to decide who she's interested in or want to be with. This dynamic remains until the female leaves her highly-fecund age range, at which time, the tables don't turn so much as the scales get a lot more balanced re this dynamic. Something to look forward to, anyway.
Equality is a nightmare to feminists
Sadly what has been written here is true in pretty much most, if not all, Western countries. Paternity fraud is said to be at least 10% of every child born. As far as I'm concerned DNA tests should be done at the birth of every child to prove paternity from day one so that there can never be any issues with it. I don't care if you are married or not. I'm sure most females would freak out over that, but if they have nothing to hide, then it shouldn't be a problem.
I'm also quite surprised that men haven't taken up arms against their governments for the sexist way that they've been treated. Anti-male laws have been on the books for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Societies has always protected females because females were always looked at as lesser people and in need of protection (just like children). Unfortunately, that chivalry which looked so good at the time has come back to bite all men right in the butt. Men need to take this more seriously, but it won't be easy. Female Chauvinism (aka Feminism) is the dominate force in most countries today and it will take a lot to overcome this entrenched and dominant ideology. However, it needs to be wiped out. Equality is one thing, but feminism has morphed into something worse than even Hitler could have created. For the sake of your future children, particularly those of the male persuasion, we need to take up the fight and create a world where women are given equal rights, but are also forced to accept equal responsibilities. Only then will there be harmony in this world. Just remember, if you are lucky enough to have sex with a woman make sure you ALWAYS use a condom. Yes, I know they suck, but trust me, women will do whatever it takes to get pregnant when they want to and you'll end up paying the price for their desire to be a mommy. Trapping men with pregnancy has been a female ploy since the beginning of time, but never have the consequences been so devastating for men. Protect yourself and your future - rubber up!!!
