Ever since I moved to the Western hemisphere and began paying attention to US news and politics I have found many disturbing trends. Throughout my travels of the East (where my homeland is) I have concluded that authoritarian ideologies of any kind, be they religious or political, are quite horrific in that they make the privileged sadistic and the masses oppressed. So when I see Western men being oppressed by their own governments through legal means I am concerned. It bothers me that the very countries that created liberal and egalitarian ideals would turn to oppression. However oppressive societies are doomed to fail, as has been seen historically. So I am left understanding precisely how Western governments punish their men for what is essentially "original sin", yet I am left wondering why, especially in this modern age of information. Do any of you here know the why of it all?
