Men are not needed. At least in the West

[RIA] Coincidentally, two publications in the United States, from Democrats and Republicans, on the same day published reflections that everything is bad with the men of America. Although what an accident there is, the statistics just pulled up, so they comment on it. For example, the data that never in the history of the country have men had so few friends, especially in comparison with women, who are fine in this regard. Or about the fact that 63% of the surveyed men who fall into the category of "youth" are not married and are not going to.

There are two versions of our Russian approach to such news. One, the wrong one, is to begin to joyfully talk about the fact that civilization is asking us to be our opponents, where a man - a warrior, a protector, etc. - is morally destroyed. It is civilization, because in countries like Canada or Australia the picture is the same, and in Europe there are many similarities. And the second approach is to begin to deal with what ideas have plunged tens, if not hundreds of millions of people into a social catastrophe. The struggle with ideas is long and difficult, they do not recognize boundaries, and first you need to deal with them for a long time and in detail.

And it can be understood in different ways. Here is a lady from The Washington Post , publishing a huge, magazine-sized article, with quotations from a dozen books, up to the 19th century. From this tome we learn a lot of useful things. For example, that in the United States and other countries mentioned, there is just such a model of the economy: the demand for physical labor has fallen, and therefore the largest decrease in employment occurred in the category "men from 24 to 35". The demand for men with a diploma has also fallen - there are now 74 of them for 100 women. Accordingly, the demand for men among the freed women has collapsed, and they manage anyway.

And then feminists and "heroes of our time" came running - well-known LGBT characters with a plus, and men were even more confused. As a result, they account for three out of four "deaths from despair", which includes suicides and overdoses.

What this article is almost missing: talking about the sad experience of the MeToo feminist movement. It somehow disappeared from the scene, but after all, none of its ranks was punished for terrorizing almost the entire male population of Western countries - with the general idea of ​​changing their behavior patterns. And if so, then everyone knows that something like this can happen again.

But there are a lot of letters in the article that the Republicans are to blame for everything with their pathetic attempts to preserve the normality of male behavior in the country: they all climb to us with their muscular and rude characters. Donald Trump , and Tucker Carlson , and in general everyone who is trying to defend in the public mind the image of what a man is and what he should be got.

And here is the most valuable. Our champion of feminism concludes: yes, there is a problem. We broke the old stereotypes, there are no new ones.

There is no new and correct idea of ​​how to look and how to behave as a man in the new, liberal world. It would be necessary to start creating such a representation, but this is a long time, a question of generational change.

And what happens if you do not spend thousands of letters to cover the whole picture, but try to see the situation through some particularity? This is a very effective approach. Here the columnist from the right flank enters the conversation, from The Epoch Times resource , trying to become a key one on that flank. And he analyzes one of the consequences of the transformation of men into hunted creatures.

This consequence is called dysmorphia, that is, hatred of one's own appearance. These unfortunates do not want to once again communicate with the opposite sex, who already has only contempt for men, and strengthen their moral strength, improving this appearance - up to the bristle-beard and tattoos.

It is clear that here we are talking more about what is happening on the Republican flank, since the Democrats have no idea what a man should look like.

And here the author - and he is a doctor - speaks about the main thing. About, in fact, imitation of the results of active physical activity. About building muscle with the help of all kinds of chemistry, for example (and there are many, and different ones). Or - imagine, in the US it is fashionable to increase growth. And for this you need to cut the bones of the legs, insert all sorts of metal devices and wait until everything heals.

So, all this is money, and big. The struggle of ideas, of course, is an interesting thing, but somehow it turns out that crazy ideas about transgender people are supported by massive and no less terrible sex-change operations (and this is money), and on the other flank they increase growth. And not cheap either.

The most innocent thing that a hunted man can do with himself is to start listening to all sorts of experts on the issue of what to consume inside and what not to. The other day, a headline flashed on the Russian Internet: why does our country need half a million supposedly nutritionists, nutritionists. Who tell us that everything is harmful in general. But really, why? But money is.
