Men have been propped up by the physical, emotional and reproductive labor of women since the dawn of time. It’s the basic reason patriarchal systems were put into place, to create a servant class through manufactured consent. Women were isolated (from each other’s pain), disenfranchised and brainwashed into submission through social and religious constraints. This is why it took the women’s movement until the advent of birth control to enjoy real meaningful gains. Keeping women broken like mules through exhausting domestic work and their minds in a hazy fog from multiple painful births, coupled with a lack of sleep (Lack of sleep is a form of torture) keeps a class of slaves from raising up.

Because of brave women who stood up throughout history and demanded equal access to higher education and high paying jobs, this artificial gap is closing. Society is becoming less tolerant of such an overt style of division and as more women decline marriage and having children… and men are getting mad. At us. Men are frustrated that they can’t take advantage of a woman’s labor as their fathers and grandfathers did. These men will marry you and hate you the entire time. Many live to keep you in the one-down position in the relationship. Symptoms include rape culture, violence and anger as full on social movements against women as a class. We can see with the increase of violent Incel and red pill movements in the “manosphere”. We see the “pornification of culture” where men get more and more desensitized and want increasingly more violent and degrading images of women. The women and children get younger and younger to appease their sicker and sicker “fantasies”. Women now have to live, work and navigate their lives with these disturbed men.

With the rise of neoliberalism since the 1980s, offshoring of jobs, hyper globalization and dismantling of workers rights, traditional manhood isn’t economically feasible anymore. Instead of adapting to this new world (which would require introspection, hard work and empathy) men are continuing to dump labor on the women in their lives. Unpaid labor accounts 14.7% of GDP for Canada to 25.6% for Italy. The numbers for the opportunity costs range from 43.7% for Japan to 68.6% for Germany. We continue to give and give and receive little for our efforts. Many cultures world-wide are raising men without accountability, responsibility, honor or respect. These “modern” men want a traditional wife, however they can’t be bothered to bring anything to their side of the bargain including: funding the family, making responsible choices for the family, loyalty and respect of his wife and the building of character in their children. Instead, we see women showing up, and men failing over and over again. Case in point: see the hatred and abandonment of single mothers. AKA the adult who stayed, continues to care and be responsible for the choices she made. The term for this is the “feminization of poverty” and it’s a global issue. Men want to keep women in the one-down position because we are easier to manipulate and take from when we are economically disadvantaged ones. And women are getting used to being betrayed by men, I mean, statistically speaking, your father probably betrayed you too. We need world-wide accountability for men’s actions against us.

So why are women wary of men nowadays? Because history backs up our distrust. Because we can see how our mothers and grandmothers were used as broodmares, domestic slaves and sex workers. A "woman" class has been manufactured by society to improve men’s lives, while a man will probably ruin yours. Women provide love, empathy, and joy, while the wrong man will thrust pain, suffering and trauma on ours. As women close our selves off from men, demand more or simply step away from the game, we must brace ourselves for the next wave of violence coming towards us. The “master” won’t let us go without a fight.
