Wow thats a brilliant piece. Agree with a lot it, but somethings stuck out

"For the past, at least, 25 years, I've been told to do more and more to keep a woman. But nobody's told me what they're doing to keep me.

"I can tell you as a heterosexual married male in management, who didn’t drop out of society, the message from the chicks is: 'It's not just preferable that you should [Poor language removed] off, but imperative. You must pay for everything and make everything work; but you yourself and your preferences and needs can fck off and die.'"

Its a good point, but something like this isn't new!
 
Jack Donovan, a writer based in Portland who has written several books on men and masculinity, each of which has become a cult hit, says the phenomenon is already endemic among the adult population. "I do see a lot of young men who would otherwise be dating and marrying giving up on women," he explains, "Or giving up on the idea of having a wife and family. This includes both the kind of men who would traditionally be a little awkward with women, and the kind of men who aren't awkward with women at all.

"They've done a cost-benefit analysis and realised it is a bad deal. They know that if they invest in a marriage and children, a woman can take all of that away from them on a whim. So they use apps like Tinder and OK Cupid to find women to have protected sex with and resign themselves to being 'players,' or when they get tired of that, 'boyfriends.'"

He goes on: "Almost all young men have attended mandatory sexual harassment and anti-rape seminars, and they know that they can be fired, expelled or arrested based more or less on the word of any woman. They know they are basically guilty until proven innocent in most situations."
 
Maybe they only get to spend any amount of time with incompatible women. Maybe the best life partners can suss out that these fellas are really happiest sticking to a seedy brief encounter with a stranger and give them a wide berth.
 
I once did a full hours resin fuelled diatribe on why women are the antichrist, everyone agreed.

They also agreed that it wasn't their fault and they were misunderstood and misrepresented.

If only the argument that women are excusably irrational due to hormones was applied equally to men, almost every decision a man makes has some influence from seed spreading...
 

Donovan lays much of the blame for the way men feel at the door of the modern feminist movement and what he sees as its disingenuousness. "The young men who are struggling the most are conflicted because they are operating under the assumption that feminists are arguing in good faith," he says, "When in fact they are engaged in a zero-sum struggle for sexual, social, political and economic status—and they're winning.
 
Single white males are the most discriminated against people in our society, everything is aimed at helping women, minorities, children or married couples.

They don't want single white males so they make it difficult to live that lifestyle.
 

People who have never studied gender and sexuality ranting about feminism. The irony of calling it a zero-sum struggle!

Modern feminism has done more for men's rights movements than bitter misogynism.
