The Misandry Bubble

[Fatheroffour]

Lots of fodder for discussion in this interesting read.

Why does it seem that American society is in decline, that fairness and decorum are receding, that socialism and tyranny are becoming malignant despite the majority of the public being averse to such philosophies, yet the true root cause seems elusive? What if everything from unsustainable health care and social security costs, to stagnant wages and rising crime, to crumbling infrastructure and metastasizing socialism, to the economic decline of major US cities like Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Baltimore, could all be traced to a common origin that is extremely pervasive yet is all but absent from the national dialog, indeed from the dialog of the entire Western world?

Today, on the first day of the new decade of '201x' years, I am going to tell you why that is. I am hereby triggering the national dialog on what the foremost challenge for the United States will be in this decade, which is the ultimate root cause of most of the other problems we appear to be struggling with. What you are about to read is the equivalent of someone in 1997 describing the expected forces governing the War on Terror from 2001-2009 in profound detail.

This is a very long article, the longest ever written on The Futurist. As it is a guide to the next decade of social, political, and sexual strife, it is not meant to be read in one shot but rather digested slowly over an extended period, with all supporting links read as well. As the months and years of this decade progress, this article will seem all the more prophetic.

Executive Summary : The Western World has quietly become a civilization that undervalues men and overvalues women, where the state forcibly transfers resources from men to women creating various perverse incentives for otherwise good women to conduct great evil against men and children, and where male nature is vilified but female nature is celebrated. This is unfair to both genders, and is a recipe for a rapid civilizational decline and displacement, the costs of which will ultimately be borne by a subsequent generation of innocent women, rather than men, as soon as 2020.

I'm afraid if I read this I'll get sucked in and start hating women.

I don't want to do that. I likes me some wimmins.

[Fatheroffour]

Plenty of blame to go around.

I read it and I certainly still love women.

You've got a great track record, so onto my Kindle this goes.

(small plug for a great free piece of software called "Instapaper" - lets you move any web page to a kindle for easy reading later, with a single click).

I kinda feel the same way. Not that I will hate women, but, just for fear of what will be. I kinda think that eventually men and women will keep trashing each other till we all quit doing things like marriage and having kids together, but not sex. And then we die and become extinct. If this doesn't happen, it will turn into something like you seen while watching the movie Idiocracy . Because, in the future, it's not about the strongest or the smartest breeding anymore. Then, the breeding will be exclusive for the weakest of men who will submit to a woman, not because she is the smartest or the strongest, just because she is female, The self proclaimed superior gender!!

It's kind of the point of the article. It's point is that the current model is unsustainable....i.e. a bubble that will collapse.

Um, where have you been? Ever since we've domesticated ourselves it's no longer been about the strongest or smartest. Except for our own lineages, of course.

I'm gonna go ahead and read it, but I hate the thought of verification of my worst fears.

I disagree, It does still go on to a certain degree. What I meant, when I said this is, it will stop all together.

Our culture is built on the ideologies of looking to something beyond ourselves. A higher power, an higher ideal, hope for everyone, and respect for our fellow-man.

But current is abandoning these core principles for the principles of self-fulfillment, entitlement, seeking to ourselves for power, and simply demanding that to win in life we must always be in first place in whatever we do.

We are swinging away from our God-righteous ideologies that teach us to look out for each other, and embracing self-righteous ones that teach us to look out for ourselves first.
