| #26 Wow. That's really harsh. |

| #25 The Good Men Project--a feminist on line mag--occasionally has a sensible piece. "Sold this man a bill of goods" is one. Guys are told...be considerate, generous, kind, thoughtful. Women like that, respond to it. So guys who can't attract women by looks, status, "presence", etc think they can still as they've been told women like. But because they really aren't attractive; physically, don't know from hygiene, are creeps, don't know boundaries, don't have any talent or ambition, etc. they don't make any progress. Sucks to be them. But they've been told that the big four work. Guaranteed. But they don't. And the guys think they've been defrauded. It's not solely a matter of not being able to get a date. Or get laid. It's a not particularly subtle sense they're turning women OFF plus betrayal. Hence the anger. |

| #24 Prager attempted to do an end-around to the universities and they're trying to cancel him. Trying to effectively take them on their own turf could involve things that would make the "That is not we are" crowd heads explode. |

| #23 Of the 10 "Easy Steps" listed, five deal specifically with teachers, curriculum and educational policies. Our young men will continue to be attacked and suffer until and unless we take back the educational system in this country. |

| #22 ^ Focus on the schools and colleges. That's the central battleground, and we've been getting our ass handed to us there for at least three decades. |

| #21 As for simply educating young men in the Western canon, etc.-- that's fine, but has anyone noticed that the left is going after Prager U? Prager presents knowledge in a positive, calm, almost anodyne way and even that is enough to give the left the vapors. If the left will go after them, they'll go after anyone, all appeals to reason be damned. I haven't the foggiest idea of how it could be done, but it seems to me that the Right needs to get better at gaining, keeping and expanding power -- which is one of the few things the left is good at. History shows that no amount of reason or logic will divert malevolent power from its path. |

| #20 don't want to be the first guy in the family with ex-wives from America, Russia, and China. Or maybe I do? Sounds like the marital version of 1984, Beau: At this moment, for example, in 1984 (if it was 1984), Oceania was at war with Eurasia and in alliance with Eastasia. In no public or private utterance was it ever admitted that the three powers had at any time been grouped along different lines. Hey Brad and Jen are getting hitched, so maybe Angie's available? |

| #18 Yeah, I've been single since divorcing from my Russian wife in 2004. I've had a Chinese GF for 7 years but not in a hurry to get married. I don't want to be the first guy in the family with ex-wives from America, Russia, and China. Or maybe I do? |

| #17 Ref #13: How To Make Young Men Miserable and Resentful, in Nine Easy Steps: After 50-60 years of observing these government imposed egalitarian tenets, I can assure you the "resentment" is not limited to young men. |

| #16 Increase the divorce rate until its close to 50% so that at least half your young men grow up without the continuous presence of a loving and engaged father. Of those who marry — a key point in this time of out-of-wedlock parenting — it is not that half of those marry divorce, but that perhaps a quarter try multiple times. That one woman I know who is looking for her eighth husband in two decades, the couple where he is husband number five and she is wife number three, they offset a bunch of first marriages that last. But whether the household churning is formal or informal, there are an awful lot of boys who don’t have anyone modelling how to be a successful man, and an awful lot of girls who don’t know enough to want one. |

| #15 We know how to rescue troubled young people. We've known how at least since the time Saul became Paul. Not easy but also not complicated: love, faith, creativity, service before self. Or, Lex, maybe 3 years in the Marine Corps? |

| #14 10. Destroy the Boy Scouts by filling the ranks with fags and trannies. Rename it "Scouts" so as to scrub it of all taint of association with maleness. |

| #13 How To Make Young Men Miserable and Resentful, in Nine Easy Steps: 1. Label as "toxic" their natural love of danger, their inclination toward risk and desire to be bold and valorous. 2. Eliminate from the literary canon all writers who praise unapologetic masculinity and/or the western heritage - Hemingway, Kipling, Chesterton, Tolstoy et al - and replace them with second-rate shitty sob sister stories of racial grievance and feminist resentment. 3. Fill the teaching ranks with pansies and disapproving, Ratchitt-style feminist scolds. 4. Eliminate vocational education and training, and instead tell everyone to go to college -- regardless of their aptitude for or inclination toward abstract thought and academic research. 5. Order the colleges to create Kangaroo Courts in which young men will have their entire lives destroyed as a malicious cabal of witches bears false witness against an accused who's allowed no defense. 6. For those young men who go down the STEM professional track, make "diversity and inclusion" a requirement of ritual obeisance, and set aside large numbers of places for demonstrably inferior female and minority applicants to medicine, engineering and the sciences. 7. Increase the divorce rate until its close to 50% so that at least half your young men grow up without the continuous presence of a loving and engaged father. 8. Create a corporate and professional culture that destroys any sensible work-life balance, with the same result as #6 above. 9. Flood the media space with nonstop bullshit about a mythical "war on women" and bring obscene, ridiculous, patently false accusations of rape against one of the nation's most admired and accomplished jurists. |

| #11 The problem is that young men can’t go to Mexico anymore to take care of their needs without getting killed by the cartel scum. Used to be a right of passage here. |

| #10 ^ what ruprecht said. This busybody nanny-inspired, fake "terrorist" crisis is the spiritual daughter of Tipper Gore and her 1980s-era demonization of heavy metal and video games. Reached a fever pitch around 1995, after which Netscape IPO'd, the media and pop culture moved on to Greed and the Internet, and everyone forgot Cobain and goths. Until Columbine, after which all this BS and shite pseudo-psychologizing kicked in again. God save us from academic psychology and crap sociology. Those are the most degraded academic fields outside of the Identity Studies fields. We know how to rescue troubled young people. We've known how at least since the time Saul became Paul. Not easy but also not complicated: love, faith, creativity, service before self. |

| #8 ^ Arts and cultural organizations work, too. Performing arts ensembles are excellent vehicles for bringing a young person into a fulfilling, uplifting group of like-minded people seeking to achieve something difficult but beautiful and inspiring. Also, pay young people to read good books -- the old wisdom books of our culture. Maybe $5 for every book > 300 pages and > than 100 years old. |

| #7 I think incel is more of an insult than any kind of organized group. Reminds me of the satanic panic of the 80s in that I don't think there is much base for any of this. Government folks looking for the next villains (because they can't look into mosques). |

| #6 Modest proposal(s): Stop demonizing boys generally and non-athletic / non-college bound boys in particular. Restore vocational education and make it a real, viable, well-designed and managed career path that leads to the kind of employment a young person can rely upon to start and provide for a family. And get young men out of their rooms, away from screens and into altruistic, mission-driven patriotic and/or religious youth organizations that put Service before Self. |

| #5 It's about being accepted and loved by other humans. Whores aren't the answer. Remember when the media told us that the Joker movie was going to result in mass incel shootings? Turns out they were full of shit. The movie actually showed how the media contribute to the problem. |

| #1 Ostracism of lesser males has long been a trait of primates. Sad we're not over it by now, but lesser males make a lot of people feel freaked out. Used to be we would dispose of them as cannon fodder, but now they're stacking up. |
