Man Class

During my Religion & Men class today, one of the points made (by a woman) was that most societies tend to have brutish men.
I won’t go into detail regarding the choice of words and inflection, but it showed me that for as much as women are engaging in “Women’s Studies” in colleges and are seeking to make the world a more woman-friendly place; it

Men are too often undermined in today's society, and in the society of the past 40/30 years. Of course women deserve equal rights and equal pay, but men don't deserve to be degraded and belittled. It isn't any wonder that men struggle so much with their identities and purpose in this modern world where competition and the struggle to provide are ever being replaced by the importance of team work and situations where 'everyone wins.' Dual income families, the need of both spouses to work just to make ends meet, it breaks down important things like trust and reliance and commitment, replacing them with insecurities, stress and a philosophy that anything can be replaced. What is even more interesting is that as technology advances and women push their way farther into the business field; more and more men are staying at home to raise the children, as their partners are able to make more money and advance faster. As this becomes more and more the 'norm' i wonder what the next few decades will bring.

I find it also interesting that these Feminists who man-hate and hen-peck are embodying, as women, the very kind of personality/societal views that kept women 'down' in so many eras gone past. It would be like African American's importing white people to be their servants because whites were inferior. It makes utterly no sense.

And don't even get me started on what else is being done to young men and boys in schools and early life; the need to keep everyone's moods calm and suppressed; boys who naturally have more energy when they are younger being put on drugs and disciplined for simply being themselves. It makes me sick sometimes.

I do hope tho that you're able to find your voice to defend men in your class-- probably some girls there will think you're a pig or chauvinistic; but why would you want to coddle Femi-nazis anyways? Anyone who can't understand your need to defend yourself should take a long hard look at reality sometime.

Yes exactly, I didn't begin to get into those points because I figured it would lead to another discussion entirely. The doping up of "hyperactive" children and whatnot.

Also, it's odd that if a couple were situated that a man goes out to make ends meet and the woman stays home to take care of the child, the Fem-Nazis would kick and scream. But then if the woman were out working and the man stayed home, they'd kick and scream cause the man isn't doing any work or contributing support.

So it seems like these Fem-Nazis are against raising children!
