Lesser educated Men's real wages in the US have been going backwards since 1979. That is, the majority of men. That is not historical to you? 46 years? You would practically need to be in retirement to remember something different.
A Social Science researcher who I will not name here expresses the attitude perfectly when she says Feminist Sociology has always been about marginalising the voice of the white male. Ignoring the fact that Asian American women earn more than white males in the US now.
As they have no better explanation for this they just call Asians - "White adjacent".
Better to do that than to give up on cherished notions of gender or race being a primary factor to validate identity politics.
Almost all government gender pay gap studies ignore the effect of having children 18 as explanatory. Or don't seek to explain it at all. Studies using a technique called a decomposition basically lie to the public about the nature of the pay gap and run in contradiction to actual whole population surveys.
In short, you and I cannot discuss the "historical' facts because the feminist talking points raised are largely rhetoric, unscientific and only based on relatively ancient history of one side - Thus not relevant to what is actually going on today.
We will see if Republicans Speaker Matt Hall’s actions fit his own words. Or will he cave to the hard-right and throw up roadblocks so they can blame her for failing?
This has been a LONG time coming. When "take your daughter to work" first started, there was great acclaim, but I wondered what message this sent to young boys. What had they done wrong? Another example of alleged grownups using children for political messaging.
There soon followed embracing the concept of toxic masculinity, and once again, what had boys done wrong? I knew someone who was a counselor, and when I called her out on some behavior, she replied with, "that's the masculine part of me" as though she could righteously distance herself from it.
Democrats, liberals, should not be surprised that men have increasingly moved away from them. Why would they expect otherwise? Identity politics is coming home to roost in a serious way for Democrats. There is a better way to find balance without needing others to blame.
GOOD! It's past time for this to be stated clearly and unequivocally: EQUITY and INCLUSION is making sure that ALL have what they need for equal outcomes and ALL are included! I hope more states follow suit!
The responses to this article are interesting and telling of the society we live in today and why it needs to change. Women, people of color, lgtbq+, immigrants, really any of the minority groups in the united states have always faced some form of oppression. White, land owning, people owning men, created the rules this country is based on, and excluded a lot of other people. Inherently creating a disadvantage to anyone that was not the same as them. Minority groups have been fighting to be considered equal to men for centuries, and at no point in our history has a woman been in charge, creating any semblance of a matriarchy. Patriarchy is a pillar of capitalism, and capitalism is failing and so is the patriarchy. The milestones that feel like entitlements in our world, are becoming harder and harder to achieve for everyone. And it's not because minority groups are taking all the opportunities, it's because late-stage capitalism is destroying them. Corporations and billionaires want people to believe that these milestones and just the ability to afford to live is gone because of these other groups. When really it's because those corporations decided to buy our government, eliminate any social safety net, take huge government subsidies while paying zero taxes, pay their employees no money, and keep all their profits for themselves. Then they turn around and tell the people 'no the reason you're failing, is because these traditionally oppressed groups are taking all the opportunities.' when it's just really not the case, they want us to be mad at each other, instead of being mad at the true villain, so they can keep taking our money and destroying our country while we all yell at each on the internet. Men have just not felt this type of oppression historically, while minority groups have had to live with it since the country began in different forms and levels. People/groups of people that are used to being oppressed have already been living and experiencing what disadvantages in life feel like, and there have been programs in place to try and even the playing field a bit. We can't be mad at each other, that's what they want. If you're angry at your station in life, welcome to the resistance. turn your anger towards the billionaires and corporations that created this mess.
A woman telling me how to feel is... Womensplaining?
I Will turn my anger to women that are NOT a minority. They are a MAJORITY. And yes, this is what exactly what a Matriarchy looks like:
1. Women more educated (and even now having affirmative action and grants and programmes for women in STEM).
2. Women earning more
3. Women having more kids
4. Women having less risky jobs (while claimung equal pay)
5. Women outliving men
6. Women commiting less suicide (no Penny spent on that)
7. Billions invested in women health while none in mens one
8. Women being considered equal from a phisical point of view (when they are not) or differences being disregarded as not important (for Jobs where strength and speed is relevant, like police, soldiers, construction work or firefigthers).
9. Women having all the laws and empaty for ant tiny gender gap they have, men being called opresores while all the above is true.
10. Affirmative action and DEI to bolst women everwhere.
11. Men being outraged for all world faults... While there are already women in power.
12. Women controlling education.
Sorry, but not sorry. We Will turn our anger against women (and those supporting them, i.e. Democrats).
Do you remember "Kill All Men"? Women promoting freeky the genocide of half of the world?
Well, shall we say now "Kill All Women"? You would be as horrified as we were...
And stop womensplaining and telling us who webhave to direct our anger. Yes, It is women.
When manginas like you get prostate cancer, they realize that their feminist pals in Congress made sure that there is 3 times more funding for breast cancer than prostate cancer.
Do you imagine that your willingness to distort reality to accommodate feminist lies will make you more disagreeable to women? If so, you’re probably right, but at the end of the day, what difference will some pussy make when she’s accusing you of rape the day after?
Just be ready for that prostate cancer diagnosis. Or the false accusation of rape or paternity. Half of rape accusations are false. I seriously doubt that any men's rights organization will help you.
If you want to be fooled, instead of looking the real roots of the problem, good for you. You may continue critizising my English (not my mother language, btw). Best
It’s child sexual abuse most foul. Depending on a boys level of intellectual and emotional maturity and how much he knows about women, the impact varies. Watching beautiful young women willingly surrender their bodies to the worst men in the world and apparently loving it in some way unknowable to men is to feel your primal fears unfold, and it makes these boys hate women. They are told not to “slut-shame” and respect women while their own consent is violated and their development arrested by having puberty weaponized against them. Every 16 year old boy on earth is sexually abused and terrorized in a way women and gay people do not understand. For hetero men, Porn is terrorism. I have never said that to one man in person who disagreed. Its fucking terrorism. It is the nihilistic destruction of everything holy to a man. In a secular way, it is so blasphemous to see what you want to love and protect scream in pleasure, demanding more defilement. Nightmare fuel. Misogyny fuel. Rape fuel. Sex-trafficking fuel. Pornifying straight men is the biggest disgrace in the history of human culture.
Honestly you ignore the porn issue Richard. Have you capitulated to its inevitability? You underestimate the damage it’s done to normal boys teens and men. The popularity off PH and OF is a public humiliation. We’re a disgrace to ourselves. We let the internet CSA our sons and we deny it.
True, but feminism continues to fuel it. I remember a recent survey that found that a sizable number of young men preferred staying home and watching porn to going out on a date.
Could addiction to technology be one of the causes of the detachment of men? I am the mother of 3 girls and 2 boys, 7 grandsons and 7 grandaughters. The boys are proportionatly more inclined to be drawn to screens at an early age.
Or testosterone-filled brains are more sensitive to the affects of video games, etc. I watched a seismic shift in academic ability occur in my nephew before and after receiving a smart phone and a video game console around age 10. After 5 years of nearly constant screen time, he struggles academically and his verbal acuity has declined. By the time this phenomenon moves from anecdotal to scientifically proven, unfortunately, a generation or more will have been damaged.
So she only develops an interest in male issues due to seeing their votes slip away?
How sincere can she get?

We will see.
Ahhhh yet another liberal DEI program.
Would boosting/encouraging men into teaching be considered a form of DEI? Just wondering.
This has been a LONG time coming. When "take your daughter to work" first started, there was great acclaim, but I wondered what message this sent to young boys. What had they done wrong? Another example of alleged grownups using children for political messaging.

Kill All Democrats
I mean, politically. For ever.
Never ever will men vote for Democrats.
They will need to beg. Tonssk for perdon. And recognise the female privilege and the Matriarchy they have created.
GOOD! It's past time for this to be stated clearly and unequivocally: EQUITY and INCLUSION is making sure that ALL have what they need for equal outcomes and ALL are included! I hope more states follow suit!

Incredibly well said👏👏👏 The commenters thus far don’t get it.

The billionaires and corporations created this mess, NOT men and White people, Ditch the Marxist us against them bullshit.
Being that men account for 80% of suicides, it shows that they are oppressed, and continue to be oppressed.
"invest more in CTE and apprenticeships" - so, males to be plumbers. Females to be lawyers 🤦🤦🤦
"encourage take-up of paternity leave" - is this pro male or pro women?? 🤦🤦🤦
Are programs targeted at only men (I.e. to increase gender diversity in home ownership and higher ed) DEI programs?
MRA’s are the biggest snowflakes of all. You guys deserve your emotional grief, and then some. It’s self-inflicted.
Cool imagination you absolute snowflake victim.
When manginas like you get prostate cancer, they realize that their feminist pals in Congress made sure that there is 3 times more funding for breast cancer than prostate cancer.
jfc you guys will find every angle possible to pose yourselves as The Greatest Victims of All.
Education controlled by women. 60% degrees go to women.
Sufficient to be a victim?
95% of work casualties...
What about now?
jfc you are such a smallboi
Do you imagine that your willingness to distort reality to accommodate feminist lies will make you more disagreeable to women? If so, you’re probably right, but at the end of the day, what difference will some pussy make when she’s accusing you of rape the day after?
I am 44yo with a beautiful wife and two beautiful teen daughters. You are a smallboi victim unworthy of respect. Recognize the difference.
Just be ready for that prostate cancer diagnosis. Or the false accusation of rape or paternity. Half of rape accusations are false. I seriously doubt that any men's rights organization will help you.
Thanks Richard for contributing to this elevation of these issues. Your dedication should feel like it’s starting to pay some dividends!
Reeves is Democrats. The same that created those issues.
I trust him more than your ranting in broken English. I harbor a proper amount of hate and resentment towards feminists. Thanks for your outreach 👍🏼
If you want to be fooled, instead of looking the real roots of the problem, good for you. You may continue critizising my English (not my mother language, btw). Best
I know more than you.
So said the cave man in Platoon alegory. But I will take the risk: illustrate me
Rhetorically only.

As long as there is man-hating feminism, porn will be one of many consequences.
Porn predates feminism.
True, but feminism continues to fuel it. I remember a recent survey that found that a sizable number of young men preferred staying home and watching porn to going out on a date.
Could addiction to technology be one of the causes of the detachment of men? I am the mother of 3 girls and 2 boys, 7 grandsons and 7 grandaughters. The boys are proportionatly more inclined to be drawn to screens at an early age.

This could be the cause or the consecuence.
1. Mothers not being at schools
2. Kids telling that masculinity is a problem
3. Feminized education (instead of single sex, as 40 years ago) that leads to desafection
It is the result of the consecuence?
