The boys' club is under siege: Why women covet everything traditionally reserved for men | Bettina Arndt

women chasing men’s toys is their demand for entry into Men’s Sheds. Here we have a rare organisation which was started exclusively for males only about 15 years ago – designed particularly for older retired men to come together and support each other. But suddenly women wanted in and sheds found themselves under pressure from women who liked the idea of joining in cosy woodwork sessions with the boys. It’s led to a huge split in the movement between those still keen to promote the mateship they believe is vital to encouraging proper support for vulnerable men, and those who prefer to win brownie points from the ladies by embracing inclusiveness

This is pure evil. Be careful which shed you donate too. Don't donate to those who throw men under the buses for women's ego.

All the jokes about unsightly Middle-Aged Men in Lycra, complaints about tight clothing revealing everything it shouldn’t.

Say the exhibitionist femcel freaks who go around harassing men everywhere from gyms to workplaces with the creepy way they dress.

Part of the reasoning behind the Men's Sheds was theraputic in intent and a response to high numbers of suicides among elderly men. The presence of women in such spaces robs them of that therapeutic effect. Regardless of the women concerned it causes a shift in compassion largely due to protective instincts imbued in males from an early age.

I will continue to insist the denial of male only environments and activities is robbing boys and men of the spaces in which they are best able to deal with stress and trauma and IS a contributor to spiraling rates of male suicide.

She's got something of a point; many women HAVE for sometime now been expressing thoughts to the effect of "Chicks aren't allowed to try out for the SEALs, because The Patriarchy is alive, well, and trying to rob us of a shot at becoming Medal Of Honor winners. Less sinister explanations(Such as the fact that several nations have already experimented with putting women into combat, only to discover that men on average will try to help their female colleagues when wounded, to the detriment of the mission)aren't far more probable". This isn't anything new though; a Hollywood film-GI Jane-which espouses this very worldview was released back in the 90s, and raked in a shitload of dough at the box office. The more light-hearted Goldie Hawn vehicle Private Benjamin even tapped into similar themes a over a decade prior to GI Jane's release

Let's also resist the urge to get self-righteous here, fellas. Many prominent MRAs have, for some time now, been foregoing the pursuit of concrete, tangible goals in favor of vague and specious missions such as "Closing The Empathy Gap", "Getting women to recognize all the ways in which they benefit from Gynocentrism", and even trying to get the public to blindly celebrate Men's Day in the same way so many folks accept the existence of Women's Day without so much as a whimper, rather than asking "Why the hell do we have a Women's Day or a Men's day at all? Wouldn't life be a lot better if we abolished both, and started making a conscious effort to dropkick all forms of identity politics into the dumpster where they belong?"

Just as many women have been trying to get onto The SWAT Team and into The Green Berets in the name of achieving equality, without ever asking "Would the likely results of such a thing coming to fruition yield more harm than good, not just to women but to everyone?", a disconcerting number of self-identified Red Pill men now think it's wise for us to create a society in which men are pitied as often and frequently as women often are, rather than calling on our fellow citizens to show us the same respect we've been told to show towards women. Worse yet, many of these same GRPM's are down with the idea of celebrating men just for being male, much in the same way women are often celebrated just for being female. Rarely if ever do MRAs ask out loud "Why the hell are we yapping on endlessly about this supposed Empathy Gap, when the definition of empathy itself remains elusive( https://spsp.org/news-center/character-context-blog/empathy-word-too-many-meanings ), and the practice itself may not even be especially healthy or humane https://www.amazon.com/Against-Empathy-Case-Rational-Compassion/dp/0062339338 "

It's dishonest for us to finger wag at the ladies too much, when we're fucking up in similar ways

Speaking as a cyclist reading this article, I must admit that my first thought was: "At least these feminists are blaming poor infrastructure – instead of just dumping on male cyclists – for their lack of participation in alternate transportation." I'm sure they'll get around to blaming men eventually, but it's funny how my honest reaction was surprise that they didn't go there immediately.

Why is complaining about women seen as a mens rights topic?
