Are Men Failing Society?
Article here. Excerpt:
'There’s a lot of talk about how men are failing women in society. And of course, this idea is being voiced mostly by women. After the reversal of Roe v Wade, many women took to microphones and blogs to proclaim that men had failed to protect a woman’s most basic right. Society has declared that men are not upholding their roles to protect or provide for women.
This is a general attitude fogging up the atmosphere about men that I think deserves some clearing. I think we must acknowledge that the reason men are not “there” for women is that women have said they don’t need a man, don’t want a man, and can do everything by themselves.
I often think feminism is at the center of this confusion and conflict between the sexes. Feminism insisted that women and men are not really all that different. That women are just as strong and independent as men. There are even some pockets of society that believe that a woman can become a man (and that a man can become a woman). In the last 3 decades, popular notions have circulated convincing women that men are the enemy: Men are predators. Men are rapists. Men are misogynists. Men are toxic. Men abandon their children. Blah blah blah.'
