The Solution?

What you're describing is MGTOW...

Due to institutional discrimination against men in education, and rampant misandry in our culture, this is already happening albeit slowly and relatively unconsciously.

Men and boys are just "checking out" for the most part. They've gotten the clear message that they are neither liked nor needed and they are responding by withdrawing from society (eschewing higher learning, choosing easier and lower paying jobs, avoiding marriage).

But meanwhile our country is in massive and increasing debt which threatens the funding of feminist organizations. So the serpent has bit its own tail.

This is why you see so many articles telling young men to "grow up." Because everyone is terrified that they will continue to shrug off the burden of 70 hour work week labor and we all know women won't shoulder it.

I think some men are doing this.

Hence the slew of articles recently telling men to "grow up".

/in this context meaning work a job you hate to support a wife and kid(s). Whether you want any of this never comes up. It is assumed that your role is to provide a woman with the paycheck and child she wants.

There was a book, in the 50s, by Philip Wylie, called The Disappearance. In it men disappear from women's world, and women disappear from the men's world, and then he explores the consequences. As you might expect from a 50s man, the men's world becomes very militaristic, Lord of the Flies style. And the woman's world falls apart completely because they can't keep the technology or much of anything else working.

That'd only really work when more men are involved with the MRM. Until then we'll just be told to 'man up' by other men.

You are describing MGTOW, men going their own way. Come introduce yourself at the mgtowforums and be among like minded men.

Everyone knows the Lysistrata plot, in which women hold men to ransom by withholding sex, and force them to end the Peloponnesian War (even though the reality is that men probably would not fight if women didn't push them to do it.)

A reverse plot, in which men refuse to do all the hard work to force women back into line would be a better play.

I agree, and this is already happening on many levels. Just not as fast or as targeted as I would like.

If only we could show the world what would happen I we did and how fast it would collapse.
