One of the worst ways society attempts to maintain that men are "disposable" is through pseudoscience: That somehow men are responsible for XYZ bad things while women are responsible for ABC good things.

There's long been a common-sense idea — largely untested by science — that having a surplus of men in a society causes more violence. But now we have evidence that this isn't true. Societies where the population is dominated by women are just as violent as ones dominated by men.

Wait, so all the passive-aggressive female behavior DOES have real effects?

studies do show that men are often less violent in cultures where there are more men than women. "When faced with a deficit of women, men can engage in much more positive social behavior to attract and keep a partner," the researchers write.

As in...guys must now start to improve themselves and channel their energies into something positive if they ever hope to get laid now? Balderdash!

Still, there is a troubling statistic: "There are higher rates of men killing men and sexual assault in female-biased sex ratios." This flies in the face of the long-cherished notion that men fight less when there are lots of women to go around....Incarcerating large numbers of men for non-violent offences sucha s drug crimes, as commonly happens in the US, might actually be contributing to higher rates of violence in society.

So female-dominated societies are just as if not more violent. Cue jokes about true equality here.


Here's my take:

This isn't all about "numbers" per se. Put me with 20 girls on an island and trust me, I'll be fine.

This is about the byproduct of the numbers: Societies with higher numbers of women WILL ALWAYS be accompanied by men's roles in that society and their masculinity being debased. That is how women would get in a dominant position in the first place; That is what feminism has done; That is what you are seeing when Elliot Rodger and whatever fucktard goes crazy. On the other hand, when men are in power, feminine roles are actually celebrated and protected.

I'm not sure which one causes the other (Feminist societies vs Emasculated men), and it probably doesn't matter. It's probably a cycle. Chicken and the egg problem.

The bottomline is that any society where men have been systematically and federally emasculated (false rape allegations, bad family/divorce law, masculinity = rape/patriarchy/guilty until proven innocent/"let me ask my wife's permission!"), you will have a population of angry and bitter men.

Most of these men will do nothing and just complain and be sexless (/r/thebluepill). Some will recognize and improve and do fine (/r/theredpill). Some will opt out entirely and not pursue sex anymore (MGTOW). And then some, unfortunately will do something crazy, leading to the headline news shootings and war, etc etc.

So in reality: it's not the bullshit patriarchy that is responsible for so-called male violence in society (even though this study has established that this is a myth anyway). It's actually the exact opposite. It's the feminists and the emasculation of men's role in society that has led to disenfranchisement and disillusionment, leading to the ILLUSION that men are more violent.
