"Today's pre-adult male is like an actor in a drama in which he only knows what he shouldn't say."

This essay was roundly destroyed by numerous MRAs. The feminist patrol over at Good Men Project were even critical of it.

Good times.

We guys have beer, video games, action movies and fast cars.

Girls have cocktails, cosmopolitan, romantic movies and "cute" cars.

This woman can't find a guy who likes her and the guys are to blame? Not to mention the terrible taste in guys she has.

But can you blame here? As an intelligent, attractive guy I wouldn't even go near her. Lot's of normal chicks to date out there, no need to go with the crazy ones.

That's a good idea. I think I will have another beer.

"most men in their 20s hang out in a novel sort of limbo, a hybrid state of semi-hormonal adolescence and responsible self-reliance"

If she had been honest and used the word "some" i might have kept reading. As it is i take this as a signal that she's just going to trash men, so fuck her and the horse she rode in on.

I fucking love that quote. It's so funny how many people attack MRA's for being inarticulate, or for missing social niceities. But, no one - NOONE teaches young men how to express anger, defend themselves against women, or how to read social ques.

""We are sick of hooking up with guys," writes the comedian Julie Klausner, author of a touchingly funny 2010 book, "I Don't Care About Your Band: What I Learned from Indie Rockers, Trust Funders, Pornographers, Felons, Faux-Sensitive Hipsters and Other Guys I've Dated.""

Great. So, the gist of this is, while you girls go and give the best years of your lives to bad boys and rich players, the rest of us guys are supposed to work our monk-like asses off to build up money and a career so that, when your thoughts finally turn in a panic to finding someone stable enough for having kids, you can pluck us like some ripe financial fruit to be eaten then discarded through divorce?

No thanks.

To anyone who's never seen a picture of Kay Hymowitz, now you know why she's so bitter towards men. Not saying a person's looks is directly related to one's bitterness towards the opposite sex, but I can imagine a lifetime of being turned down by men must have had some sort of impact on this one. Of course...I am only assuming she is avoided like the plague...for all I know, guys could be lining up at her door for their turn on the ol' Hymowitz Happy Ride.

Help! Help!!! The men are not lining up to become husband appliances anymore once my biological clock goes into full swing!

Why should they grow up? No one needs them anyway. There's nothing they have to do.

Amen sister.

Edit: Fuck you guys. I'm a 30 year old guy, I'm never getting married or having kids. So fuck off while I eat cheetos and play n64 roms on my computer
