Every one of us has unique gendered experiences and life challenges. Good enough relationships with others of our gender help us mirror our experiences, understand and integrate them. This results in a successful and positive development of our gender identity and well-being.

The sum of all the quality social links and relationships that a person has with others of his gender could be called a “Gender social fabric”. In contrast to women, men's social fabric today is greatly fragmented. A lot of us are isolated from the inner lives of other men, the public's negative bias towards masculinity discourages a lot of men from exploring their gender identity and in turn, a lot of men struggle to develop that identity into something positive and effective. This results in difficulties adapting to gender-specific life challenges and psychological pain.

The Colonization of Male Space

Feminism, in the nearly half-century of its systematic cultural revolution, has worked doggedly and persistently to erode male space in every possible form. From the beginning, it has been a central feminist project not only to whittle down the amount of time that men spend together in the absence of women, but to fragment the continuity of such time, to break it into smaller and smaller chunks, and to cast the very idea of it into disrepute.

It is a classic recipe. If you aim to take away the power of a targeted group, you must undermine their solidarity by making it progressively more difficult for them to bond with each other. And if you fragment the continuity of their time together, what bonds they might form will be correspondingly fragmentary, and accordingly ineffectual.
