Okay, that's worth a bookmark and a follow. And several loud huzzahs in my best baritone resonance to balance some of the pained squeals from the antifeminist gallery.

The patriarchy's knee-jerk defense of all men against all criticism (not-all-men, both-sides, yadayada ad nauseam) is much like the NRA's position against all gun control. Neither cares who gets hurt or what's good for society.

I've been writing about this for a while, with recent articles on incels and on the myth of men being more rational than women. My point--which you cover quite well here--is that we aren't insisting that our boys grow up.

Where have all the men gone? They never showed up. Because girls will be women, but boys will be boys.
