Interesting Topic.
Here is my take.
The problem is a few fold.
One:
Feminism, the empowerment of woman - They no longer depend on men and are equal in the work-force.
And this is coupled with:
The disempowerment of men in society - for example courts, divorce courts, laws and sentencing for crimes in such a way that a woman would get off with a slapped wrist where has a man would get off with the full book.
You see with feminism woman where given power, but without responsibility - it is still Men that will be drafted in the army, it is still Men that are the cannon fodder and the crunch of society and it is still MEN who do the shi* jobs in society - the jobs woman dont do (sewage work, heavy labour, building e.t.c).
Men are still the core and the foundation of society, most inventions and products have been built and created by MAN - take your PC for example, all built by men, even the net and all its works, by MEN - the chair, the table, e.t.c.
What we have though is constant bombardment that Woman are great and men are not so - Adverts depicting woman hitting men with phone books is funny (if you did it in reverse there would be outrage) - TV shows showing P****fied males with the woman at the head of the household constantly demanding and questioning his authority with the man alwasy seeking 'permision' from his female master.
Yes we have male orientated things too, but even these things are more often then not awash with P***y worship and female pandering - Heroic guy rushing head long to put life and limb on the line to win the 'princess' - even computer games have an eliment of that, olden computer games infact the main theme was the main character saving the damsel in distress, risking life and limb to be the dashing hero.
So now we have woman who dont need the hero, woman so empowered that they would mount the horse and save the male, but there is a difference - What you normally find (and dont take my word for it go visit a woman orientated forum) is ridicule of males: Men cant cook, they can't look after children, they cant multi-task, they cant handle a real woman, where are all the real men? - reinforced by such great shows like Ophra and Trisha e.t.c
like all movements woman are treated still like second class citizans in the eyes of the media and in government, but the truth is far from this, because woman and minority groups actually get preferential treatment in society and play on the 'victim' card - Hence leaner sentencing in courts, more hand outs, more government funding for health reasearch (Breast cancer research is around 20x that or prostrate cancer and breast cancer is more or less the only thing men get to hear about) -
Not to mention adverts about child abuse always always depicting the man to be the abuser.
When you see an advert on tv for such things like child abuse, rape e.t.c it is always deemed that the man is to blame - False rape claims for example, the man is spread over the papers and the woman remains anomous - further examples of the minority group syndrome women get to enjoy.
Woman have all the privilage but none none of the consequences. Picture a giant big daddy net over the whole western sphere that helps woman and supports them like a giant daddy would do, but offers the guys little.
Woman are seen has the 'victim' and still are and woman play on this all the time through the media and through TV - Any deviation that the male is infact the victim i.e ****-hold husband is degraded in the news. Dead beat dads hounded, but dead beat mums ignored.
Its all around, it permiates the western sphere like a big cloud of brown s**t over everything and most people cant see it because its always been right infront of your face - Your cant see it for looking.
So we have feminism and woman who have special privilage in society and media and government giving them special privilage too, TV and media making men out to be fools or awash with the dashing hero putting life and limb on the line.
Two:
Music and popular culture.
Music, the poplular music (not underground or none mainstream) the popular social music is: Normally music about how some guy falls in love with a woman - or music about some guy loving a woman - is what sells - Make a love song about woman and you'll probably get to number one, its romantic, it sells and its ok? Or is it?
The problem on one side we have music where men are singing about how much they would die/change/do anything for love - and on the other side we have empowered woman songs - woman flaunting there sexualty - Britney Spheres for example/Madonna/Christine Agulara - all singing about empowerment in some form or other or how there in-charge.
Three
Then we have disney or films about interactions with men and woman and being brought up to believe these immortal lines: 'Woman are suger and spice and all things nice'.
Disney, parents, the media, films, TV, news all of it re-enforces that woman are flowers, delicate creatures to be admired, loved and protected - who like nothing better to do then play with dolls, wear dresses, smile in a cute manner, have curls and pink toe-nails.
Result:
What your left with after this constant bombardment are guys who are so screwed in opinion when it comes to the opposite sex, they simply slot into what others do - like sheep going bah!
'Must treat this girl like a princess, must buy her things, must not offend her, must tell her how much I love her constantly - woman are great, boy am I lucky to have such a wonderful being in my life'.
Lets not forget Sex:
Sex is predominant in our society too - Men are very visual so everywhere you look woman are used to sell things to men and woman - Woman compare themselves to other woman (womans magazines are full of other woman, mens are full of woman) - Marketing are playing on a mans libido, so men are over-charged sexually. Sex is constantly in your face in the western sphere, more so if your a man - Your libido is being pushed to its limit (if you where living in an african tribe, you wouldn't want to f**k half has much as you do) -
So-
You mix this all up, you get men chasing the elusive dream of woman - trying to slot into the Pepsi advert, trying to slot into hollywoods or coca-cola's dream life of what woman are - constantly reading how bad men are and how great woman are - Lucky to find a woman, treat them like they are princesses, each one a flower to not break, to handle delicatly to not abuse or upset or ridicule.
But the truth is further from all this: - p***yfied men are ignored! slaves to society, sheep who bah and try to become something they are not - Just an extension of the society around them - hence why bad boys are so attractive, no one tells them what to be or how to become - they dont try to change themselves for that flower - and its attractive because all around are P****s who will sell the soul for the elusive dream life style depicted by society - Woman are not amazing, they are just 'human' -
If you peel away the layers, it seems like woman are and have been morphed into nice little consumer bots and men slotting in right beside them to win them over - Most woman have no soul in truth, they are defined by the shoes they wear, the shows they watch, the magazine the subscibe to and --- puss*fied men keep trying to find ways to become apart of the womans world instead of becoming part of his 'own' world and allowing woman in when he see's fit.
