Re: Save the males from ???Daily Mail!!!!! | |
Check out these other messages from women. Quote:
Amen! Finally, a woman who is echoing what I and my friends frequently discuss. Men are extremely important in a child's life; a stable man in their lives is essential. With nothing for them to aspire to, or to work toward, young men are lost. They are being told and shown that they are not needed other than as sperm donors. They, like anyone else, are underachieving because that is what's expected of them. Why work hard, get a good education, hold a steady job, and be a productive member of society if that society is casting your role as an integral part of the whole aside?
And people wonder why violence among the young is skyrocketing. Not only do so many lack the strength, love, and support of a father/father figure, but they feel unneeded and unwanted.

Absolutely spot on! Women only have themselves to blame for the marginalisation of men today.

I want Amanda's job! How fantastic to have your opinions published every day simply because they are, well, your opinions.
And, while we're on this subject. I don't think that men have been demonised, as such, but I do think that we are all guilty of the "have it all" culture. I think that men make their own grave when they close ranks round pints of beer and make comments about how a friend might be "well trained" because he cooks a meal or "under the thumb" because he does a minuscule amount of childcare. However, I was brought up with a feminist mother and I feel very strongly that feminism has done little to assist women and it has, instead, made our lives infinitely harder. We are expected to be yummy mummies, super career women, devils in bed and goddesses in the kitchen. We are expected to be ideal home makers and female Monty Dons in the garden.
I worry about my son. He is entering a society that expects a lot from him and the goalposts are tangled and confused.

I've just bought this book, this article is SO TRUE in every way! Bring back REAL MEN and let them take their rightful place in society. I personally am sick to death of the over-groomed wimps who allow their women to browbeat them into submission. Come on guys, rise up and fight back!!!

Amanda Platell is absolutely correct. The feminist movement has had a devastatingly negative effect on society in so many ways.

Any feminist who argues men are surplus to requirements after conception, is deluding herself and others. My mother was widowed when I was very young, so I am more than qualified to point out how vital a good father is. I hate it when I hear a single mother says "What does it matter as long as the child knows it is loved?" Well, actually it does matter. My mother worked incredibly hard to show how much we kids were loved, but it didn't fill the father shaped hole, and in spite of all her valiant efforts, we did go off the rails. Luckily she remarried, and my Dad (step father) had the patience of a saint with the stamina of a pack-mule, and was able to turn things around. I certainly would not feel this grounded, disciplined and confident without the influence of Dad.

Those are just a few. We should be using this to promote the antimisandry forum here and reach out to even more people seeing how many women there are responding rather well. I expected more feminist attacks.
