Except that this article doesn't appear to be about a woman's writing.
As a feminist, I don't particularly like gender assumptions, and I don't really like the assumption that boys and men have something wrong with them if they can't or don't seek dates.
However, that there is such an overflowing animosity towards women in response to this article kind of has me taken aback. Being told that my entire gender, which obviously includes me, is a bunch of greedy worthless entitled stupid parasitic cunt bitches who should have various act of sexual violence committed against them.. them being us, being me.. by a bunch of people who know nothing of my life, my relationships, my work... It's a little scary.
Women generally don't like sleeping with people who hate them, you know?
The article, or at least this stub, isn't even about what women have directly said-- it's a sensationalist statement by a male author, stemming from the documented gap in academic achievement between girls and boys. He blames video games and porn. I think it's not so simple.
But then what do I know. I'm just a useless cum bucket who needs to shut her damn mouth, right?
As far as family court, assuming that you are speaking about such things as child custody: Yes, rulings are disproportionately in favor of the mother. Why? Traditional gender roles involving the mother being primarily a parent. I don't think that's a good thing, but I don't think bashing feminists is going to help you.
As far as pop songs and Tv.. First of all, these are products of commercial media meant to sell you things, not be progressive; second, I'm not sure how unattainably skinny, eternally youthful women playing second chair to predominantly male leads is supposed to empower women. Third, it's not real. It's Tv.
I can't address the high school health class thing because I'm not sure what you are objecting to.
Feminists still have legitimate complaints. Sexism still exists. The threat to revoke the access to safe, legal abortion still exists. That feminists even get to grouped into on single humorless faction in your mind and that you're wroth with them over this study that they didn't write is a complaint.
I think it has something to do with the fact that, according to a variety of statistical indicators, males are falling behind academically and causing more behavioral problems in school; the whole dating thing is probably a by-product conclusion from investigation of that issue.
And notice that you jump to the immediate insinuation that women are making some kind of accusation at men! Where did you get that from?
I don't agree any more than you do that video games and porn are ruining people, nor would I find it right to conclude that boys are to blame or any such thing. It's just part of someone's search for causation of a different, real phenomenon. Getting angry at the girls is not helping anyone address the actual problem of how to help boys succeed to their fullest potential academically, or reevaluate if that is no longer a valid goal.
Let me get this straight...
Some male psychologist comes up with a rehashed theory that video games and porn are "ruining" a generation of young men, and rather than attacking his methodology, there is an enormous spewing of equally unsubstantiated woman hate?
There IS a lag in academic achievement between girls and boys. This is well demonstrated. That is a thing worth examining, even if you're going to get some misguided advice in the process. It's worth examining because that's fair to the youth suffering from the gap, because they're human beings. Much fairer than saying that, all things equal, boys just aren't as smart as girls, which is how the traditional reversed scenario played out. See how it's good to learn from sexist mistakes?
Why this turned into some sort of outpouring of sour grapes sentiment is kind of beyond me. I'm against gender-polarizing stances in general because I think they're counterproductive to everyone involved. I don't know why you think you're making it better by blaming women for everyone's problems. We get a crazy and disheartening barrage of divisive cultural signals too.
Why all this outpouring of antisocial, misdirected rage? Have you had too much video games and porn lately?;)
