What does it mean to be a man in America today? Young men are told that masculinity is “toxic,” traditional gender roles are oppressive, fathers are unnecessary, and women are no different from men. This is leaving young men grappling with questions about their identity and purpose. Aldo Buttazzoni searches for the truth and speaks with respected experts about the critical role men play in society in PragerU’s upcoming short documentary….

Take Prager with a mountain of salt. I’ve seen numerous people tear his arguments to shreds. First, determine if his claims are based in analysis or just his intuitions. The two primary motivations are still there: getting laid and getting ahead, the two obviously intertwined.

Too many challenges, it seems, when certain religions hold other groups as “unclean”, immoral or whatever.
Talibs “triumph of the least tolerant” is a good primer for where we will head.

A pity the writer didn’t stick to the main point and instead did his very best to convince the reader he was very clever.
Lost me at the language offshoot. I understood what he was getting at, but got annoyed at the presumption of genius level thinking.

No functioning society can exist unless it is controlled by men.

Just a gues dot, your nephew.

You’re right but you’re also being glib. This is not something to be glib about.

The scale of disenfranchisement and political awareness of men younger than me is staggering.

The chutzpah of “boomers” on social media towards these young men is smug and sickening. Accusing them of being not real men and lacking purpose. LOL Matt Walsh – you were a radio host since you were 24.

It’s similar to how the DINKS were dragged by Conservative Inc recently.*

They’re coping. You shouldn’t kick someone when they’re down.

WHY are they coping?

Here’s the thing. On one income, they’d still be childless.

*Raising a family is great, but “Judeo Christian” conservatives saying being childless is a worthless existence is, quite frankly, complete crap. My evidence is Proverbs 25:24 and people like Nikola Tesla, Gregor Mendel etc. That ignores too the influence of childless relatives or the dignity of human life and the misfortune of infertility, etc.

Take Prager with a mountain of salt. I’ve seen numerous people tear his arguments to shreds. First, determine if his claims are based in analysis or just his intuitions. The two primary motivations are still there: getting laid and getting ahead, the two obviously intertwined.

Most men cannot afford to be married and divorced multiple times. Dennis Prager has done just that. I think he’s a damned fool. What did St Paul say about marriage?

Divorce Inc is a subject conservatives refuse to touch. “Just pick the right woman”. Let’s see what Steven Crowder says now. de Santis did good work in removing lifetime alimony in Florida. What an absolute joke that was.

COVID saw a massive transfer of wealth from the middle class to the elites and family law and welfare is a massive transfer from men to women. Again I ask: what is left for men in the west? Men older than me may never have faced employment discrimination for being a normal white Australian male (I appreciate being able bodied and born here, but I refuse to apologise for that). I have certainly have. It is only going to get worse.

Men have to wake up. The men demanding other men need to “man up” and be a plough horse are like Boxer the draft horse in 1984.

My evidence is Proverbs 25:24 and people like Nikola Tesla, Gregor Mendel etc. That ignores too the influence of childless relatives or the dignity of human life and the misfortune of infertility, etc.

BTW, I don’t know that current day Christians make the argument about starting a family, although the demand of chastity before marriage probably requires it because it is better for man to burn than marry. Paul Lynde was well aware of that.

Increasing numbers of people are choosing the childless life. Peterson states that if you don’t want children you’re a sick puppy but then he almost always plays to his conservative base. The childless subsidize families and because of all the benefits provided to parents I wonder how much downward pressure that puts on wages. Family payments are a far bigger component of welfare than the dole but no politician will open that can of worms. It creates signal distortions into the economy and we are forever stuck with that. I don’t mind some support but Howard’s extension of family payments was a vote bribe and since then we have more absurdities; especially in relation to childcare.

Men have to wake up but Prager isn’t the alarm clock. Child support is not about justice it is about reducing welfare costs by placing unrealistic financial burdens on the non-custodial parent which is mostly the fathers. The Higgins saga is remarkable in that everyone was fretting about her mental health when Lehrmann had the most to lose. That disposition is condescending to women because men are far more likely to commit suicide but oh poor BH.

Reading “Conflict” on the subject of the Falklands War – on his way down to the Falklands, General Jeremy Moore brought along a photo of his Argentine counterpart, General Mario Benjamin Menendez, in much the same way Montgomery kept a photo of Erwin Rommel in his caravan during the Desert War. It later emerged that the photo was of the wrong General Menendez – there were no fewer then five of them, in the Argentine Army at the time. Page 161.

The hyperbole machine at full revs.

Listen to your enemy’s messages. They have told us their plans. Treat it seriously to make sure they can’t execute it. That’s not hyperbole. That’s heeding and acting on a warning.

You appear to hold a view that those who party at peace events, and who sing and smile, don’t know when to fight for the right to party at peace events and proudly grin with the flag.

Damn right. If you’re a soldier and you behave like a gormless teeny-bopper, expect trouble. Proudly grinning with the flag doesn’t make you a soldier. Girl guides were supposed to be prepared. An IDF soldier rather more so. If they thought partying for peace was the way to go, they were incompetent as soldiers.

They didn’t deserve to die for their folly, but the universe doesn’t treat stupidity kindly. And imagining that offering Hamas daisy-chains would lead to peace breaking out all over was really, really stupid. Partying for peace is dumb.
I hope the survivors have learnt that. It seems as if you haven’t.

The Man For All Seasons, and apropos of Israeli child beheadings:

KD .. No I never said that

Yes. Yes you did, at 9.58:

KD my point was that is didnt happen.

And no, no you didn’t say this:

I just said that the propaganda porn fest was rife on both sides of the conflict

You did not say that. At all.

Chesty Blonde puts Dreyfus under the bus (the Hun):

Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil has finally said she is “sorry” that alleged crimes have been committed by at least six detainees released following the High Court’s controversial ruling about indefinite immigration detention.

The apology comes after Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus last week unleashed on a female journalist who asked if the federal government owed the alleged victims an apology saying the question was “absurd”.

Ms O’Neil did not directly answer the question last Wednesday, instead saying the ministers’ jobs were to lawfully protect the community and that was what they were “focused on”.

The knives are out. Carnage will ensue.

Of course it was hyperbole. Hamas militants is already surrendering in large numbers and you think they present a threat to the West. It is the old political rhetorical nonsense repeated over and over yet people like you fall for it.

nice try you self professed beta

You crying out in pain as you attempt to strike me.

Beta males are by definition, submissive. I’m telling men NOT to submit!

Society is sick, men are treated as disposable. I want that to change.

You’re trying to tone police the debate with shaming language. I won’t play this game. Your definitions are wrong so you don’t even understand what insults you are flinging around mindlessly.

There are millions of disenfranchised men in the US. Once again, you are blaming them for a system they were born into.

This has no merit or value. You’re not even saying what men should do other than mouth platitudes.

You also are not taking the existential threat of alienating millions of your own people within your own borders.

Calling people beta males isn’t going to help if there is civil unrest, let alone even a small proportion of them joining actual extremist or separatist movements.

To wit: 4chan didn’t happen in a vacuum.

For goodness sake, Elizabeth, ignore the down ticks. Don’t look. Don’t scroll back.

They are harmless little pixels. They can’t hurt you unless you allow them to.

This is an open blog, not a pleasant chat around the fire – or air conditioner – depending on where you live. Apart from small groups here and there, we’re not buddies. We might be drawn to particular pixels and annoyed by others. Certainly, there’s plenty to learn from the experts who comment here. But in general, we are strangers with no connection to each other.

Re your little lecture, I have never said nor thought otherwise, Delta A, with the exception of those who have been personally friendly to me here or those whom I know IRL as friends.

If we remove all ‘chat’ though we remove half the blog, so I do disagree with that aspect of your extensive comment. One person’s ‘chat’ is another person’s ‘commentary’. As I’ve also said, the downticks are only worth discussing for what they reveal about those who have nothing to say and I as I also said, I tend to ignore them.

As a little irrelevancy, just to explain why I won’t be around this morning, I am off to a dance class and it’s quite a long drive. It is there that I enjoy a regular ‘chat’ over coffee with friends. In general, IRL, I am not short of good friends, although at my age the reaper has taken a few already. 🙂
