The Anguish of 21st Century Man
At one time, relationships were like this. Listen to the video but exclude the part sung by Kate Bush. That is the reality of men's lives today.
I am unsure that our civilization realizes that society has given up on men. I have a nephew (age 29) with many male friends who do not date. When I was his age, a man would have been considered successful. He shares an apartment with a co-worker, and his car is paid for. He makes a more than reasonable income in an industry that shuts down periodically (the movie and tv industry).
He still has hopes, but he faces a society of women who only want to take from men and give nothing in return. More and more men are just giving up.
I feel sorry for that type of person, who in order to gain followers in their movement needs to encourage hatred among others, in this case between men and women. Paradoxically, if we look at her, she looks more like what she intends to eradicate, at least physically. In fact, she shouldn't be reading her own book. If there is still time, she / he should seek help because she must have a strong trauma. It would be very sad for humanity if her absurd message reached many people.
Sydney is absolutely right.
The man was raised as described by Peter Gabriel, to achieve things and be successful, this still applies almost forty years later. We must evolve, not get lost or give up.
I think that women in an attitude of taking advantage of what they can from men, deep down must suffer a lot, they are only carrying out a kind of revenge for the suffering that other men have caused in hundreds or thousands of years of history, but they are missing the part of enjoyment and mutual support, which are the bases of human coexistence, regardless of gender
I waste no sympathy for people like the author of that book. There is a condition called Learned Helplessness. It was discovered when Psychologists put dogs into crates that would give electric shocks no matter what the dogs would do to avoid them. Eventually, the dogs would just give up.
Women who openly hate men spread that hatred to other women. Both my brother and I attended university. Neither of our sons did so. Why should they bother when they will only be criticized for being successful?
I think nowadays many people consider they don't need to attend university to be successful, and still there are many things they can achieve without formal education. That may be a different reason.
I am glad that I am out of the game, but I am afraid that it will be difficult for your daughter's generation (I read your introductory post). Things might be different in Venezuela, but here are some of the sentiments of men in North America:
