(Cross Post from AskMen) A discussion on American culture becoming 'anti-male'

I like the way anti-feminism is described as ideological! Talk about getting things ass-about-hat.

Compare: Gentlemen, don't turn this into an anti-Marxist thread. Restrain your ideological fervour.

The response is: erm... it's marxism and feminism that are the ideologies, not the positions of people who oppose those ideologies!

It reminds me of all those assholes who talk about 'fundamentalist atheism', as if the only way to oppose theism is to lapse into some mirrored dogma, as opposed to merely upholding certain methodological precepts commonly found in scientific and sceptical enquiry. Yeah, we're the dogmatists... gotcha. No projection there then.

It's kind of a weird way to describe it, by saying there is a lack of "incentives".

It's more like there are many obvious punishments for going that route, even if one can manage given that so many women still have unrealistic expectations for men with how much society has changed their roles compared to women's recently.

It's the woman who will likely begin the divorce proceedings. When it comes to custody, the man will be treated unfavorably by the courts. It's the man who takes the chance that a child will be wielded as a weapon against him.

Personally, I have no need for the "incentives". I don't have a particular need to be the "provider", etc. It's more about avoiding the pitfalls.

Peculiar to think just a few days ago I saw a comment there talking about "male privilege" with nearly 1k upvotes.

Of course it got linked to goldredditsays.
