War on Men

Yes, men have done enough. I agree with Suzanne Venker. In his opinion piece for Fox News, "The War on Men," Venkar made it plain. Men are in big trouble. The world has changed. Modern society does not have space for men, it’s women everywhere.

Hey fellow men, we should have been alerted when Christina Hoff Sommers wrote The War Against Boys way back in 2000 that we were going to be end up soup. But we didn’t. And then Hanna Rosin said the same in her The End of Man. And now comes Venker’s outbursts.

The irony is despite the efforts of three generations of feminists, men still earn more than women. Yet he has been hurt, badly hurt. According to Pew Research Center, the share of women aging from eighteen to thirty-four that say having a successful marriage is one of the most important things in their lives rose nine percentage points since 1997 – from 28 percent to 37 percent. For men, the opposite occurred. The share voicing this opinion dropped, from 35 percent to 29 percent.

The fact of the matter is modern women want to get married whereas men don’t. Yes, it’s obvious that some women have serious trouble finding a man that they want to marry. But Venker says that it’s women who are to be blamed. Women aren’t women anymore.

According to a fellow blogger, women are no longer women, but she-demons, who come from the great land across the sea. They do not love, but rather devour their mates, bones and all. Who could love such a creature?

He says that contrary to what feminists like Hanna Rosin, author of The End of Men, say, the so-called rise of women has not threatened men. It has pissed them off. It has also undermined their ability to become self-sufficient in the hopes of someday supporting a family. Men want to love women, not compete with them. They want to provide for and protect their families – it’s in their DNA. But modern women won’t let them.
