Why men are in trouble (Why it's time for men to man up) - CNN.com

Man's response has been pathetic

Fuck you sir.

Get off the video games five hours a day, get yourself together, get a challenging job and get married.

Not until you fix marriage.

We just spent the last 4 decades working towards a world where women didn't have to feel pigeonholed into living one type of life; to have the freedom to choose their own path.

But guys? Don't you dare think you have the same type of freedom. Get the fuck back to work and propose to a woman. Or you don't deserve to be called a man.

This article clearly ignores many important socioeconomic factors in current society, one of which is the large-scale outsourcing of manufacturing and IT jobs that were typically filled predominantly by men.

P.S. I've spent many a weekend with my ass planted to the couch playing video games. I suppose I could've been out looking for a husband during that time, but no one's getting on my case for choosing not to (with the exception of my parents).

This is another one of those "women can't stand it when men do something that makes them happy while they run around like a chicken with its head cut off not being able to handle all of life's many responsibilities" situations. Women said they don't need men, they said they wanted equality and now they're whining because they got what they wanted: A society where women are expected to hold more responsibility (although they aren't held accountable in any way if they can't handle it).

Everything about the article except for the word "the" is wrong on so many levels.

William J. Bennet - "He was U.S. secretary of education from 1985 to 1988 and was director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy under President George H.W. Bush."

Oh right, his career is based on misleading.

Get off the video games five hours a day, get yourself together, get a challenging job and get married.

I see. So you think my purpose for existing in this world is to earn as much money as possible, and then give it to a woman. Would you care to explain why you expect me to exist for someone else, when no one expects her to exist for me?

I have a highly paid job, and I play a lot of video games. And would you like to know how I manage to do that? By not being married. By not living in harness. By not being a draft horse hitched to someone else's dream.

Oh yeah, put down those video games and pick up that Twilight novel and Lady Gaga CD. Much more mature.

Fuck CNN.

Get off your asses, men, and do what is best for women and society, instead of what is best for yourselves, you losers!

Does anyone else find it odd that when women are given the short end of the stick it is up to society to change but when men are giving the short end, men have to change?

Also, I kind of agree with him. Men need to fighting for their basic rights. Not because they are men, but because no one else is.

ShinShinGogetsuko · 2011-10-04T19:06:39+00:00

William Bennett couldn't be more far off the mark.

Men are choosing to reject the culture that is being forced upon them which tells them to be anything but MEN. What they want us to be is slaves, to throw away our souls and toil away while women get to do whatever they want in the name of "female empowerment" and with a court system that will side with them. Equality is the ideal, but it's not about equality--it's about control. Men are going Galt.

When society takes a stand against the destruction of men's character, then men will return to being men. Until then, Xbox 720.

Hah!, the sky is falling. Lies, Damn Lies and statistics.

I particularly like stuff like this "Women's earnings grew 44% in real dollars from 1970 to 2007, compared with 6% growth for men."

Well really, that's terrifying except if they are using average salaries and comparing an era when women typically worked part time in low paid jobs to the modern era where they are much better represented in the work force across a spectrum of jobs.

Still do continue with the scary numbers, it makes good bathroom reading.

There are plenty of good, single men out there. Unfortunately for women, they're gay.

Seriously, I do agree with the need for better role models. Mine was always my father and I think having someone actually in your life as a role model is the best thing for a boy. Having role models from the media or sports is no substitute.

ProWomanAntiFeminist · 2011-10-04T21:09:43+00:00

This is a very, very good sign. I'm doing a mental happy dance right now. MGTOW and Zeta Masculinity is starting to put enough pressure on the system that they're screeching with their loudest voices.

Yes, femocracy. The builders, armies, bodyguards, providers, and packmules of society are giving y'all a big middle finger. I think it's about time you shrews WOMAN UP.

Men are also less religious than ever before. According to Gallup polling, 39% of men reported attending church regularly in 2010, compared to 47% of women.

Funny, I never thought of not being delusional as a bad thing...

AntiFeministMedia · 2011-10-04T18:25:15+00:00

William J. Bennett!

Fuck off you prick.

chavelah · 2011-10-04T20:21:42+00:00

My question- why would we want all the men who have to be persuaded/shamed to get jobs and court women, to actually be out there in the job and dating markets? Isn't MGTOW a massive self-selection that separates men who don't really WANT a career and a family from men that do? Why drag them back into the game? If it's not what they want, how can they be expected to do it well?

Protest. Man down completely by going through a hormone cure and sex reassignment surgery. If being a women is so great it kind of makes sense. Then nobody could pester you anymore about manning up. That the population suddenly consisted of closer to 90% women would really send across a strong message that the men's rights movement won't be having any of this talk.
