Yesterday, I found this article, by The Futurist. This is a very long piece including an analysis of the current climate of gender dynamics in the Western society, and some predictions by the author, that he is very confident of. But, this is first and foremost a political statement though, and the author asserts his views on the gender politics are adversely affecting the Western society from several angles.


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.


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.



The author heavily criticizes modern feminism, and in case you're not familiar with the term 'Venusian Arts', recommends pick up artist methods for efficient dealing with women, and one of the tools for restoring the balance of civilization, which he asserts rests upon the natural biological roles of men and women.

This is the main gist of his analysis and prediction, but it's recommended you read the whole thing.



The Four Sirens : Four unrelated forces simultaneously combined to entirely distort the balance of civilization built on the biological realities of men and women. Others have presented versions of the Four Sirens concept in the past, but I am choosing a slightly different definition of the Four Sirens :
1) Easy contraception (condoms, pills, and abortions): In the past, extremely few women ever had more than one or two sexual partners in their lives, as being an unwed mother led to poverty and social ostracization. Contraception made it possible for females to conduct campaigns to act on their urges of hypergamy.
2) 'No fault' divorce, asset division, and alimony : In the past, a woman who wanted to leave her husband needed to prove misconduct on his part. Now, the law has changed to such a degree that a woman can leave her husband for no stated reason, yet is still entitled to payments from him for years to come. This incentivizes destruction because it enables women to transfer the costs of irresponsible behavior onto men and children.
3) Female economic freedom : Despite 'feminists' claiming that this is the fruit of their hard work, inventions like the vacuum cleaner, washing machine, and oven were the primary drivers behind liberating women from household chores and freeing them up to enter the workforce. These inventions compressed the chores that took a full day into just an hour or less. There was never any organized male opposition to women entering the workforce (in China, taxes were collected in a way that mandated female productivity), as more labor lowered labor costs while also creating new consumers. However, one of the main reasons that women married - financial support - was no longer a necessity.
Female entry into the workforce is generally a positive development for society, and I would be the first to praise this, if it were solely on the basis of merit (as old-school feminists had genuinely intended). Unfortunately, too much of this is now due to corrupt political lobbying to forcibly transfer resources from men to women.
4) Female-Centric social engineering : Above and beyond the pro-woman divorce laws, further state interventions include the subsidization of single motherhood, laws that criminalize violence against women (but offer no protection to men who are the victims of violence by women, which happens just as often), and 'sexual harassment' laws with definitions so nebulous that women have the power to accuse men of anything without the man having any rights of his own.








The Four Horsemen of Male Emancipation







We earlier examined how the Four Sirens of Feminism unexpectedly combined and provided women with choices they never could have dreamt of before. Some women made positive contributions to society, but quite a few let misandry and unrestrained greed consume them, and have caused the disastrous situation we presently see. Technology always causes disruption in the status quo, always creating new winners and losers with each wave. In centuries past, Gloria Steinem would be a governess and Mystery would be a court jester.

The title of this article is not the 'Misandry Crisis' or even 'The War on Misandry'. It is 'The Misandry Bubble', because the forces that will ensure the demise of the present mistreatment of men are already on the horizon. So allow me to introduce the Four Horsemen of Male Emancipation as a coalesence of many of the forces we have discussed, which will shred the present, unsustainable hierarchal order by 2020 :
1) The Venusian Arts : Learning the truth about how the female mind works is a precious and transcendant body of knowledge for any man. Whether he uses it to become a fully immersed pick-up artist, to create a soulmate bond in a lifelong monogamous marriage, or even to engage in only infrequent yet efficient trysts with women, a man is free from the crushing burdens that uninitiated beta men are capitulating under.
When a man learns that there is no reason for him to buy a $50,000 car, $20,000 ring, $50,000 bridezilla festival, overpriced house contrary to any logical financial analysis, or a divorce lawyer to save him from ruin even though he was the victim of spousal abuse, there is no greater feeling of liberation and jubilation, equating to a windfall of $2 Million for all objective and subjective purposes. When a man realizes that reducing his income by half will now have little detriment to his sexual prospects, he can downsize to an easier job with a shorter commute and lower stress. When a man learns that appeasing a woman is the exact opposite of what he should be doing during the process of romancing and seducing her, that entire humiliating gauntlet of rituals can be jettisoned.

The ecstasy of two or even three concurrent relationships with women of substantially above average beauty are quite attainable to a man who has scaled the summit, which further deprives the hapless betas (again, male attractiveness to women is zero-sum in a way that female attractiveness to men is not). Thus, while 80% of men have no intellectual capacity to grasp and master the Venusian Arts, if the number of solid practitioners even begins to approach 20%, multiple parasitic beasts, from female moochers to the tax-swilling state to the corrupt real-estate and divorce lawyer industries, can be effectively starved.

2) Adult Entertainment Technologies of 2020 : What of the 80% of men who cannot conceptualize the Venusian Arts? Won't they be condemned to live a life of frustration, humiliation, near-slavery, and occasional thoughts of suicide? Thankfully, these poor souls will experience a satisfactory release through technology, just like women did through technologies such as contraceptive pills, washing machines, and vacuum cleaners.
For a number of reasons, Internet pornography is substantially more addictive to the male brain than the VHS cassette or 'Skinimax' content of the 1990s. When yet another generation of technology diffuses into the market, the implications will be profound enough to tear the current sexual market asunder.
I have written in the past about how haptic, motion sensing, and graphical technologies would elevate video games to the premier form of entertainment by 2012. 3-D/holographic images with haptic interfaces and sufficient AI will make rudimentary 'virtual sex' a technology available to many men well before 2020, but by 2020 we will see this cross certain thresholds that lead to a dramatic market impact far greater than contraceptive pills and Internet pornography combined. A substantial portion of the male population will drift into addiction to virtual sex without even realizing it.

For those (mostly women) who claim that the VR sex of 2020 would not be a sufficient substitute for the real thing, that drawback is more than superceded by the inescapable fact that the virtual woman would be made to be a 10/10+ in appearance, while the real women that the typical beta male user has access to would be in the 4-7 range. Real 10 > VR 10 > Real 7, making irrelevant the claim that a virtual 10 is not as good as a real 10 (under 1% of all women), when the virtual 10 is really competing with the majority of women who are 7s and lower. Women are largely unaware how vastly different the male reaction is to a 10 relative to a 7, let alone to women of even lower scores. As single men arrive home from work on Friday evening, they will simply default into their VR immersion, giving a whole new meaning to the concept of 'beta testing'. These sequestered men will be conspicuously absent from the bars and nightclubs that were the former venues of expenditure and frustration, causing many establishments to go out of business. The brains of these men will warp to the extent that they can no longer muster any libido for the majority of real women. This will cause a massive devaluation in the sexual market value of most women, resulting in 8s being treated like 5s, and 35-year-old women unable to attract the interest of even 55-year-old men. The Wile E. Coyote moment for women will move a few years ahead, and the alphas with Venusian Arts competence will find an even easier field of desperate women to enjoy.
Another technology making advancements in Japan is that of lifelike female robots. While I do not believe that 'sexbots' will be practical or economical relative to software/gaming-derived solutions, the Japanese nonetheless continue to make surprising progress. Competition between technologies is always productive for the consumer.

Some 'feminists' are not blind to the cataclysmic sexual devaluation that women will experience when such technologies reach the market, and are already moving to seek bans. Such bans will not be possible, of course, as VR sex technologies are inseparable from broader video game and home theater technologies. Their attempts to lobby for such bans will be instructive, however.
Another positive ramification of advanced adult entertainment technologies is that women will have to sharpen the sole remaining attribute which technology cannot substitute - the capacity to make a man feel loved. Modern women will be forced to reacquaint themselves with this ancient concept in order to generate a competitive advantage. This necessity could lead to a movement of pragmatic women conducting a wholesale repudiation of misandry masquerading as 'feminism' that has created this state of affairs, and thus will be the jolt that benefits both men and women.

3) Globalization : The Third Horseman is a vast subject that contains many subtopics. The common theme is that market forces across the world eventually find a way around legislative fences constructed in any one country :
a) Islam : Aside from the higher birthrates of Muslims living in the same Western cities that 'feminists' reside in, an Achilles heel of leftists in general and misandrists in particular is their unwillingess to confront other cultures that actually do place restrictions on women. In Britain, Islamic courts are now in operation, deciding cases through Sharia principles. British divorce laws are even more misandric than US divorce laws, and so many British men, in desperation, are turning to Sharia courts in order to avoid the ruin that British law would inflict on them. The Islamic courts are more than happy to accomodate these men, and 'feminists' dare not protest too loudly. By driving British men to Sharia courts, misandry is beautifully self-defeating. The irony is that the group that was our enemy in the War on Terror will be indirect yet valuable allies in the 'War on Misandry'.

b) Expatriation : While America continues to attract the greatest merit and volume of (legal) immigrants, almost every American man who relocates to Asia or Latin America gives a glowing testimonial about the quality of his new life. A man who leaves to a more male-friendly country and marries a local woman is effectively cutting off a total of three parasites in the US - the state that received his taxes, the potential wife who would take his livelihood, and the industries he is required to spend money on (wedding, diamond, real estate, divorce attorney). Furthermore, this action also shrinks the number of available men remaining in America. The misandrists who project their pathology outward by calling such men 'misogynists' are curiously troubled that these same men are leaving the US. Shouldn't 'feminists' be happy if 'misogynists' are leaving? We thus see yet another example of 'feminists' seeking to steal from men while not providing them any benefit in return.
The more unfair a place becomes, the more we see talented people go elsewhere. When word of US divorce laws becomes common in India and China, this might even deter some future taxpayers from immigrating to America, which is yet another reason the government is losing money to misandry.

c) Medical Tourism : The sum total of donor eggs + IVF + surrogacy costs $150,000 or more in the US, but can be done in India for just $20,000 at top-quality clinics that are building a strong track record. While most customers of Indian fertility clinics are couples, there have been quite a few single men opting to create their own biological babies this way. While this avenue is not for everyone, the ability to have a child for $20,000 (and even two children in parallel with two different surrogates in a two-for-one bundle deal for $35,000) now exists. The poor surrogate mother in India earns more than she could earn in 10 years in her prior vocation of construction or housecleaning. It is a win-win for everyone involved, except for the Western woman who was priced out of the market for marriage to this man.
Medical tourism also prices the US healthcare system out of contention for certain procedures, and the US healthcare system employs a large number of women, particularly in administrative and bureaucratic roles that pay them over twice what they could make in the private sector. Such women will experience what male manufacturing workers did a generation earlier, despite the increasinglly expensive government bubble that has kept these women's inflated salaries safe for so long.
So as we can see, the forces of globalization are far bigger than those propping up the current lop-sided status quo.

4) Male Economic Disengagement and Resultant Tax-Base Erosion : Earlier passages have highlighted how even the most stridently egomaniacal 'feminist' is heavily dependent on male endeavors. I will repeat again that there will never, ever be a successful human society where men have no incentive to aspire to the full maximum of their productive and entrepreneurial capabilities.
The contract between the sexes has been broken in urban America (although is still in some effect in rural America). The 'progressive' income tax scale in the US was levied under the assumption that men who could earn 10 times more than they needed for themselves would always do so, for their families. A man with no such familial aspirations may choose an easier job at lower pay, costing the state more than he costs himself. Less tax revenue not just means fewer subsidies for single mothers and government jobs for women, but less money for law enforcement. Less tax revenue also means fewer police officers, and fewer court resources through which to imprison men. The 'feminist' hypergamous utopia is not self-financing, but is precariously dependent on every beta man working at his full capacity, without which the government bubble, inseparable from the misandry bubble, collapses. Misandry is thus mathematically impossible to finance for any extended period of time. A state with a small government is far more sustainable than a state seeking an ever-expanding government, which then cannot be financed, and descends into a mass of contradictions that is the exact opposite of what the statists intended. See the gangster capitalism that dominates contemporary Russia.
These Four Horsemen will all converge at the end of this decade to transfer the costs of misandry from men onto women, and on 1/1/2020, we will assess how the misandry bubble popped and the fallout that women are suffering under for having made the mistake of letting 'feminists' control their destiny. Note that I did not list the emergence of any Men's Rights Movement as one of the Four Horsemen, as this is unlikely to happen for aforementioned reasons.

For those who dispute the Four Horsemen (I'd like to see their track record of predictions to compare against my own), women had their Four Sirens, and now it is men's turn to have theirs. Keep the Four Horsemen in mind throughout this decade, and remember what you read here on the first day of 2010.



I'm interested in opinions of people who live the West, what do you think about his perspective, do you agree with his views on society and gender?


(yes, I'm aware this is extremely long)

...is bitter, is what keeps rotating when I read his words.

It has some valid concerns; misandry exists as often as misogyny. BUT THE ANSWER OF ONE IS NOT THE OTHER. D= That, and the author's perspective are well kept from the standpoint of 'oppressed MEN, being kept down from the MISANDRIST' and... that every other land without Western Liberated Women--ahem. Misandrist™ is a shangrila. Which is laughable at most, pitiable at least.

Why these kind of people, male or female, always thinks that the answer is roughly "stopping the advances of the EVIL gender and restoring BALANCE and FREEDOM and putting the RIGHT ORDER back into place" by subjugating the other gender's advances is....

......*laughs*

Maybe these two kind of people should sleep, live together for 20 years with each other. :| (and make a reality show out of it?)

I don't know any men who can afford to (or would want to) jump on a plane to India to make a baby because they don't want to deal with women. In mentioning this, it already appears as though the author is only speaking to rich people.

Aside from that, I see a laughable amount of generalization and assumption regarding men and women in general.

"U already have your vacuum cleaners and ovens to make your cooking and cleaning easier!!! WHAT MOAR DO U WANT FROM US???"

I know this likely won't go well. But this is an important topic I've been struggling with for some time now.

The problem is Feminism was never about equality or men and women. Just as many masculine movements are not about women. There is a good reason I'm humanist and not in a gender camp. Because without a realistic take on gender a balance we can't move forward. But the balance is not realistic its a balance based on false understand of the balance of the genders. I would also argue that a gender biased protest group is the long run detrimental both genders. Instead we need to look at the genders two parts of the same whole.

Men and women are at the same time equal and different. Feminism has pushed down everyone's throats that men and women are the same and women should feel superior all the while tearing men down in the process because men simply aren't as human as women (several feminists have pushed the idea that femininity is some how more human.)

Yet most feminist won't acknowledge that while similar men and women aren't the same. The idea that they are I think is the biggest underlying fault that caused men to stop caring.

Men in our time have little to strive for. Any man worth his salt will look and I mean really look at the norms in society. Men are expected to still pay for much what a couple would need. I mean pay in more than just the monetary sense, as such I'm including emotional , time and so on. A man must purse, a man must pay for dinners and gifts, a man must pay for a wedding and engagement ring, and so and so on. Further a man has little reason to marry. With divorce rising he may end up on his ass. And if he has children the burden of trying to make it work with a fractal family is not an easy one. There is also the problem of divorce even if the wife is capable and making money the man may still need to pay many or give some his things.

Granted I'm putting all of these in a very extreme light to illustrate a point that often times if push comes to shove men have just as much or more to loose than women.

Men aren't needed by women as much anymore. Women can have a child on her own, She can work her own job, both sexes can have casual sex, what dose a man offer a women who isn't interested in children. Even then with the divorce rate skyrocketing it may not be as wise to have children. What most would say is emtinoal support but even that is often a one way street. Men are told to get over things and be a man.

We must also loop back to men. Most men are beta males as some would say we are the 80% I would actually call this more the like the 90%. As most men simple won't be able to offer the best of everything and have the needed charm and looks. Women are no different, most women aren't the top pick its just not how our species works.

So for most men yes their is no reason to have children, get married or purse women who have ratcheted up what they expect out of men for the last 30 plus years.

I know older men or men who have been able to do well, will call us lesser men failures or to weak to be a man. But I ask you what is the point of a men taking on a bad risk. Its not to say women aren't worth it. But many of us aren't sure if we can handle the very likely fact a marriage will end. We will end up with only partial custody of our children, and we will pay possible if we have children or not.

You know when someone called out [MENTION=2710]jimtaylor[/MENTION] for playing video games instead of some other past time. I commend Jim he did what he enjoys rather than get screwed by the norms.

Lets be honest here most men have fallen off the gird so to speak because they feel there is no place for them and they have nothing to offer or more importantly they have nothing to gain from women. And even more to society. Why put into something you see nothing from.

The USA (I can't speak as such for others) has become hostile toward men. And men frankly don't know what the hell society fits with them. So I don't blame any man for making an informed choice and doing his best to live his life in a way that makes him happy. Even if that means going against norms that do him little favor.

[MENTION=2434]Black Sheep[/MENTION] : oh, I dunno; a substantial amount of 'foreigners' (that is, Westerner males) have been in a steady supply in here, China, Japan, and plenty more of Asian country; making babies and staying and spending money (yay!).

I don't know what that tells.

Now I heard from someone working in a forum of international marriage, and read in one forum related for international dating (so consider the limitations), there's a PLENTY of topics regarding relationships, mostly on the variant of 'I can't read her WHY IS S/HE SO COLD', 'WHY IS S/HE CHANGING AFTER MARRIAGE WE USED TO BE SO WARM NOW S/HE IS COLD TO THE CORE'. I think the amount isn't little either.

I don't know what that tells either.
 
Hmm....
thinking about it:
Don't put women/men in harm's way for the sake of the other gender.
Don't belittle, mock, or otherwise put lesser importance to women/men's ability, decision, or choice to do ANYTHING from riding a tank to making a doily to dancing in petticoats to making mathematical calculations of the amount of duck feathers needed to soften an elephant's fall and everything in between.
Don't prevent women/men's road and progress towards that path either.
Don't assume women/men are less cultured/dignified/compassionate/wise/earthly/logical/emotional/demure/lustful/shit using a different hole.
Don't isolate women/men for the sake of the other gender.
Don't disturb, violate, or otherwise bothering women/men in their daily lives simply for the existence of stick/hole/balls/balls#2.

Ideally speaking (since we're talking ideals here), isn't this what equality....is?
Or there's some detail I'm missing here..?
 
[MENTION=2172]Trifoilum[/MENTION]

I just don't see it happening to the extent that feminists (and I wonder about what the author defines 'feminist' as) will be wailing and tearing their hair out in lamentation while trying to break down my door to get to me while I play videogames. No such utopia is possible! XD

Haven't westerners been in steady supply since wwII or even before, or has it become even more prevalent?
 
The article kind of lost me when it started talking about socialism and tyranny. Whenever someone doesnt like something about the country they just say its communist/socialist/nazi and then our minds are just supposed to click into: you're right I hate those things mode. Its bullshit.

it's becoming more and more prevalent if only a little.
There should be a multitude of reasons, though. From globalization to the prevalence of English to the more accessible information regarding Japan.. I wonder how much is the ratio for "their women are more compassionate/caring/loving/feminine"....
 
a nice set of feminists quotes that point to why many men are so fed up.

  • “I feel that ‘man-hating’ is an honourable and viable political act, that the oppressed have a right to class-hatred against the class that is oppressing them.” – Robin Morgan, Ms. Magazine Editor

  • “To call a man an animal is to flatter him; he’s a machine, a walking dildo.” -– Valerie Solanas

  • “I want to see a man beaten to a bloody pulp with a high-heel shoved in his mouth, like an apple in the mouth of a pig.” — Andrea Dworkin

  • “Rape is nothing more or less than a conscious process of intimidation by which all men keep all women in a state of fear” — Susan Brownmiller

  • “In a patriarchal society, all heterosexual intercourse is rape because women, as a group, are not strong enough to give meaningful consent.” — Catherine MacKinnon

  • “The proportion of men must be reduced to and maintained at approximately 10% of the human race.” — Sally Miller Gearhart

  • “Men who are unjustly accused of rape can sometimes gain from the experience.” – Catherine Comins

I'm not saying all or even most women think this. But I would argue it questions if one would want to be alined with such a movement.
 
....um, BB, I think you're looking at the most insane (and unfortunately outspoken too) members of THAT group..
Look at the other way. Plenty of sane, well adjusted feminist without a deep seething hatred towards men. :[

And I don't think and am not sure people want to be grouped (and especially, JUDGED) together with the more insane of their group. >_>;
Don't you agree? (quote is paraphrased from Something*Positive)

What I'm saying is be very careful which group you label yourself into or choice to fallow. My point is much of this extreme thought process is broadcast unchecked and is often intertwined into our media and collective ideological. I'm speaking mostly of the USA.

Can I get a reee-wind

Economically there are a lot of disincentives for men to perform to their maximum potential (see affirimative action, child custody laws, etc.).

I was recently discussing with a buddy INFJ that she felt that women have a dual problem; they ask on the one hand to be independent etc, whilst in the other they still expect their men to support/protect them biologically. This is just confusing and bizarre to men because it isn't something we think about and it leads to very erratic female behaviour. The average male doesn't really want to deal with erratic and unstable people, it's dangerous for their own well being.

Added to this the proliferation of free sexual material then the need for males to seek out interaction with females even if the desire to do so is virtually nil. Where those hurdles are met then the women is usual fighting off the twin demons of their own sexuality. This is not pleasant.

Since the major driver of economic activity for males is to get women, then no, there is less and less requirement for it and less and less need to acheive and when acheivement is accomplish it is penalised thus providing significant signals that simply put it is a waste of time.

There is another lost facet; the male role model. No longer is the male role model with strong individual characteristics allowed in our society; it is seen as a sexist construct that is written out of film and media in favour of 'males are dumb, females are smarter' friends-esque stereo types. The Eisenhowers, Churchills have been eliminated as representative of a patriarchy which pardon my bluntness was little more than success through individual endeavour. This characters are individual focused and thus disdained in favour of socialites.

Therefore there is an additional problem: any achievement for a male based only for a male is disdained by society in general.

To answer your question:

Are men in danger - No
Are men boycotting the game - Possibly.

On a personal note - I solve these issues through some simple rules:

Never date/get properly with any women who does not risk the same assets and opportunities as I do - something which is virtually impossible and this fits nicely with reasonable caps in relationships, no you cannot move into my house unless you buy half of it from me.

Straight out refuse to be involved with individuals who promote social convenience over personal integrity, no you are doing this for your friends or for an arbitrary social convenience not for what you have worked out to be right and decent.

Disregard females who approach me with child in arm, no I will not fund your poor use of birth control or your desire to shag someone who is physically fit and then find a decent dad, go elsewhere.

Simply stand by my standards regardless of adversity.

Some people hate me for it, but more yet find me strangely compelling.

You should note the consequences:

Yes I sit at the laptop 5 hours a day playing games, no I have no interest in changing that behaviour because it is better than the alternatives.
Yes I hold down a very very well paid and highly skilled job and have a masters degree in engineering.

The proof, as they say is in the pudding.

Amusingly I discussed this topic broadly with my INFJ tenant over dinner last night. To which the broad and short of the analysis was that she found the 'structures' in other countries too anti-female to be bearable and I found the society here to be too anti-male to be bearable. Yes, I could happily afford to pay an Indian spare change to have me a child if I wished or just live abroad for a few years more.

I think the only thing that is creating anything close to an even playing field here is that men still make more money than women on average, and money makes the rules. Although that perk is soon to go out the window.
 
The article reaches, but has an element of truth, there's little reason for western men to start a family, the odds are stacked against them. I'm about to make some general statements and observations, not moral prescriptions or judgements.

Men are basically useless, our worth has always been in our ability to provide for our family/tribe/nation. With women in the workforce, government replacing fathers (food stamps, welfare, etc), and easy access to SUPER-HIGH-QUALITY-ARYAN-DANISH-SPERM, what use is there for men? The courts are also very anti-male, men almost never win custody, and end up having to pay inordinate amounts of "child" support, sometimes even in cases where the man isn't even the biological father, IE, when the man got cuckolded.

Feeling useless, many "men" (not all, clearly) of my generation are content with their video games and high-quality porn. This explains the reasons for men falling behind, there's a whole litany of articles about the dearth of quality men, men falling behind, etc. Why strive to succeed if the lowest common denominator satiates you?

I have no idea where we go from here, I think we're on the cusp of massive changes, not unlike the changes humans underwent as they changed from hunter-gatherers to agriculturalists/pastoralists into industrialists. These sorts of issues regarding men and women have actually arisen before, IE, under the roman empire, but technology is the biggest difference now. It may change everything. I could foresee a future where the combination of technology and increasing devotion to the individual (as opposed to the collective) reaches an extreme, with men and women being content with their atomization, satiated by increasingly compelling entertainment, directly bussed into the brain, extremely realistic simulations, etc. (IT'S LIKE THE MATRIX BRO)

Or, industrial nations will continue to refuse breeding above replacement rate, making up for the difference by importing outsiders. At some point, the outsiders will have less reason to integrate. Your guess is as good as mine as to whether or not the global south share a similar enough world view to continue the western devotion to LIBRUL DEMOCRACY AND CAPITALISM (TM).
 
I think the only thing that is creating anything close to an even playing field here is that men still make more money than women on average, and money makes the rules. Although that perk is soon to go out the window.

I believe millennial women are slowly overtaking millennial men with regard to pay, in some urban areas they already have.
 
All I can say is bring on the virtual prono / robot prono doll.
