Let men speak for men

Article here. Excerpt:

'Women have been writing about men’s issues with increasing frequency. Articles in typically hostile publications have waxed sympathetic, as men’s earnings and education attainment have declined, and suicides reach record highs. I don’t wish to discourage this. It could indicate a coming armistice in the war of the sexes — on the eve of our supply of soldiers being depleted. Why do lay press outlets only permit men’s issues to be discussed, though, when passed through the filters of feminism?

These women write commendably, with compassion and conviction. The gatekeeping is not their fault. What does it tell us, though, when men must petition women for permission to voice their concerns? Is this not comparable to the position of weakness from which women asked for the vote, which feminists invoke as evidence of the patriarchy?

An incomplete picture of masculine virility and virtue is pedalled at present by those who draw the most eyes in the Manosphere. Popular podcasts and figures like Pearl Davis fail to provide a healthy model of sexual complementarity. When accomplished patriarchs are persecuted and precluded from the public square, is it any surprise that low-resolution resentment festers elsewhere online? When male competence is castigated as evidence of conspiratorial oppression, is it surprising that men withdraw from participation in civilisation? Progressives have vilified male competence as “toxic masculinity” for a decade. How can they be mortified now, when men are attracted to the (latently homoerotic) neoclassical vitalism of Bronze Age Pervert or the Darwinian proto-warlordism of Andrew Tate? Nature abhors a vacuum. The establishment, in pushing relentless female empowerment, made one for male mentorship.'
