Are Men Finished?

Will not read this. I will not contribute to this sort of sensationalism - trading page clicks for my own sense of well being. The authors of articles like this don't need my affirmation, and I don't need their ideas poisoning my psyche. Whether men are finished or not is moot, to me. I intend to put as much love and effort into this life as I possibly can - for as long as I am alive, in my mind, men are not finished. And when I'm dead, I'll be dead, and will have transcended this ridiculous gender dichotomy.

Women hold families together.

If by hold together you mean initiate 2/3 of all divorces and demand full custody, then of course.

Ladies, give yourself a night off from your second job as an astronaut or neurosurgeon. Men, take a break from your fantasy football league to see if you can save yourself.

Because oh so many women get degrees in the sciences.

I don't know what debate they're trying to stir, but this article just pisses me off.

You offer someone a hand and now they try to bite your whole arm off.

I wonder how many people would be outraged if the title of this article was "Are Women Finished?" Even with this title, we can see the sexist double standard that is acceptable in society and the disposable mentality towards men.

They want $40 per person for tickets to a discussion from people that want to put women on a pedestal and talk about how the economy is suited for women, while ignoring why women have gotten far more preferential treatment in the last couple of decades in the workforce (oh, and women make less than men still, right?).

I've never heard of Slate before. Taking a quick look at the article list, it sounds like they're an insane bunch. Sound about right?

This is very hypocritical: men build civilization, cities, technology, invent almost everything from law, human rights, logistics, electricity, computers etc. they are the engine of human advancement, and have been, protecting, providing for women since the dawn of mankind.

Men even empower women, for feminism was even initially funded by big organizations created by men (and arguably the brain-child of 17th century Victorian men).
What other current lopsided situation would you expect when government has all sorts of special support for women, while not any of such attention or support for men's issues.

Men do all essential jobs, uphold standards, are the indispensable workforce that civilizations rely on to thrive. If men stopped working, and fighting wars to protect you then society would crumble, and stagnate. Go try to live for a week without all things men have done and achieved to date. It'll be cold in the forest.

No. Someone has to pay the taxes that support the vast array of female-only resources and weapons women hold over men.
