On Men and Women
Essay here. Long but very good. Excerpt:
'This war between the sexes and total breakdown of sexuality is incomprehensible to anyone over a certain age, with the birth-year cutoff sitting somewhere between 1991 and 1997. It has been nothing short of a Cultural Revolution, a complete break from previous sexual morality and conception. The self-conception of, and interactions between, men and women in 1995 are utterly alien to those of 2025. This all-encompassing nature makes it difficult to pin down exactly what has changed, which makes it even more difficult to pin down the why behind these changes—much less their second- and third-order effects.
...
The result was immediate and far-reaching. Anti-male sentiment—justified or not—became the single most pervasive cultural force in the Western world. For ten years, disdain for men has been the animating impulse of thousands of cultural products and just as many policies, backed by trillions of dollars in investment. The very framework of conversation narrowed to focus near-exclusively on gender war-derived topics; the totalizing nature of this new frame is what birthed the contagion coarsely called “Woke” today.'
