A few months ago I wrote a review of the Simpsons pilot from 1989 detailing how the series initially dealt with the Homer Simpson character, and illustrating how the already decaying respect for Fatherhood was razed to the ground in a relatively short period of time by Feminists.

From the initial patriarchy smashing of first wave Feminists, the goal was always for manhood and fatherhood to be a thankless position. It would still be dutiful, it would still carry all the same responsibility, but the sense of entitlement to this responsibility by women and children would increase infinity.

A father was not entitled to respect for simply existing as a father.

It wasn't difficult to extract and decimate the respect Fatherhood carried; it was artificial anyway- only not in the way Feminists would like you to think.

Men were meat for the grinder.

Men were always disposable. While their work was integral to the survival of our species, nobody cried over the death of a man outside of the family he was born-into and the family he forged, who survived by way of his work. Others may have cared in passing- in an "aw shucks, poor bastard" kind of way, but otherwise it was business as usual.

The reward a man had for working himself to death, building and maintaining civilizations, and putting his family first was the support and respect they had for him. It was a trade-off.

The Western world is like a big fat Feminist theme park.

Generation Xers and vile Millennials are the product of that; where Fathers are perceived to be clowns, and losers, and idiots, and fucking pathetic.

...

Sports can be beautiful.

The above video is a boxer being cornered between rounds of a championship fight by the great Teddy Atlas.

There is no way I can do this video any justice by providing a transcription; it's one minute, and if you aren't a little choked-up by the final frame then you're a far more stoic man than I.

No surprise the fighter in question (Alexander Povetkin) is Russian. The reverence and pride this man has for his Father is all but extinguished in the United States.

...

Get it through your head that you are the only person on the planet who is able to care about your Father.

You are the only person in the entire world who can recognize your Father's humanity.

You may have had a wonderful Mother who loved your Father very much, but she loved him from a necessity that is divorced from his humanity. His weaknesses were always difficult and unsightly for her; his value and status engendered her love for him.

You more likely had a typical Mother, with a fragile ego, in a post-Feminist world; who resented his dominance when its results made her feel badly; who attacked, shamed, and emasculated him for any failure of expectation or poor decision making; who slowly chipped away at his masculine identity and self-confidence.

This became the man who you got to know as Dad.

You didn't know your Father before you existed; you didn't know your Father before he met your Mother.

Your Father, like the vast majority of men with families, was meat for the grinder. He volunteered to be meat for the grinder. He felt pride in being meat for the grinder. He did all of this because it made him feel like a good person, a worthy man, and he derived a positive identity from that.

Never forget that he was successful- there exists no one to tell the stories of men who died as evolutionary failures.

So your Father wasn't perfect, get the fuck over it. You aren't fifteen, you're entitled to shit, and you are the only one who can understand what this man's life was like.

Maybe when you met him he was already in a weakened or diminished state. Maybe life had claimed its cold victory, and your Father became overwhelmed. Maybe he was never truly strong enough to hack it.

You're an adult now and you can fully understand how difficult and unforgiving life can be.

Your Father was alone in it, doomed to navigate the dark sea with agenda-driven misinformation and no outlet for masculine learning or discussing the masculine experience.

So maybe your Father today is a shell, it's your responsibility to give a shit; to listen to him, to be empathetic to him, to learn from him, to care about him. Being a man is showing him respect, finding success in your own life, and by way of that success, making them “talk about your Father.”
