I think it’s horrific the way certain types of feminists talk about men. There’s this book called “the richer sex” about how women are better adapted to the modern workplace culture. She claims that women will soon take over the whole job market… she points to things like women getting better grads and going to college. as an adult I realize there are more intricacies involved with this claim and that women are indeed not inherently better at dealing with the modern world as many studies indicate.. both genders are pretty F’d.

But I wanna say as a kid growing up prone to over thinking, who was a late bloomer due to crazy rare medical issues, who didn’t have a great sense of self worth… those books and comments made by the likes of Liza Mundy and others made a profoundly negative impact on me.. society always complains about stuff girls go through.. their low self esteem.. we have to prop them up they say!!

We as humans all have issues I’m not denying uniquely female problem and they have plenty.. but as a little boy this shit fucking destroyed my sense of self worth.. I was already nervous around girls it literally verified the idea of putting women on pedestals.. “not only are you afraid because you’re attracted to them, but they are better than you in every way” so then you feel like you have nothing to offer. Any way I go into rabbit holes a lot so thankfully most boys weren’t aware of that type of literature.

But it’s crazy to me that these feminists authors don’t realize they are targeting little boys.. they’re talking about their own sons, who already are terrified of girls because they’re growing through puberty.. to me that’s profoundly wicked and fucked up.

One might say oh but there men who’s say the same thing about women! You’re not wrong… but they are not the main stream and two wrongs don’t make a right. And for what it’s worth a lot of those guys bend it by saying, women WANT to raise kids but they can also do well in business if the WANTED it comes down to their wants. At worst they say the. Are VeRy valuable for reproduction. But Liza and the other authors say men are just inherently inferior or at least that’s the only conclusion you come to with what they say.

Anyway that’s my rant. Fuck adults instilling shame into kids, let’s build each other up let’s build our boys up, because they are dealing with unique challenges well and they receive less attention that for sure.
