I have questioned you before about increase in the cases of mass shootings in schools and teen suicides in a country like US. You have yet to provide me a satisfactory answer.
I will give you some pointers.
"It should not be anti-feminist to recognize that men and women do need each other and that, contrary to feminist theories, marriage is a key pillar of stability for both sexes and especially for children. Feminists greeted unwed parenthood and easy divorce as steps on the ladder of liberation. For some it was and is. But the price has been steep. Women are commonly worse off financially after divorce than their ex-husbands. Those who worked before, during or after their marriages experienced a 20 percent decline in income after divorce, compared with men, whose incomes rose by 30 percent.
Forty percent of American children are now born to single mothers. This rate of non-marital births, combined with the nation’s high divorce rate, means that around half of all American children will spend part of their childhood in a single-parent home. Social scientists across the political spectrum agree this family chaos is destructive. In 2017, the poverty rate for woman-headed families with children was 36.5 percent, compared with 22.1 percent for father-only families and 7.5 percent for families headed by a married couple. And abundant data show married adults are happier, healthier and wealthier than singles.
The sexual revolution has scythed through the institution of marriage, leaving millions of women without the love and emotional and financial security that they and their children so need. It hasn’t been a picnic for men, either.
Recent studies about the effects of fatherlessness have revealed that the rise of single-parent (which usually means mother-only) families has had even worse consequences for boys than for girls. Father absence in African-American homes leads to more mental-health and behavioral problems for boys, according to an MIT study by two economists looking at brothers and sisters born in Florida between 1992 and 2002. “Growing up in a single-parent home appears to significantly decrease the probability of college attendance for boys but has no similar effect for girls.” They found other worrisome effects, too. “Fatherless boys are less ambitious, less hopeful and more likely to get into trouble at school than fatherless girls.”
Everything is connected. When more boys are growing up without fathers, there are fewer young men who become the kind of adults women want to marry — educated, employed, non-drug-abusing and not involved with the criminal-justice system. Without the grounding of marriage, men become disconnected from society. Some 22 percent of prime-age men (25 to 54) are not working or looking for work. Unmarried men are over-represented in this group. By contrast, married men with only high-school diplomas are much more likely to be employed than unmarried men with some college or an associate’s degree.
Diseases of despair — alcoholism, overdoses, suicide — have been rising among white, working-class Americans, the very population that has witnessed a steep decline in family stability over the past several decades.
Most women want and need upright, well-adjusted, dependable men to serve as co-anchors of healthy and happy families. The feminist movement was deeply misguided to take aim at marriage. Far from oppressing women, it offers a safe foundation for a full life."

"Fourth-wave feminism is increasingly authoritarian and illiberal, impacting speech and behavior for men and women. Campaigns around “rape culture” and #MeToo police women just as much as men, telling them how to talk about these issues. When The Handmaid’s Tale author Margaret Atwood had the effrontery to advocate for due process for men accused of sex crimes, her normally adoring feminist fans turned on her. She referred to it in a Globe and Mail essay in January entitled “Am I a Bad Feminist?”
“In times of extremes, extremists win,” she wrote. “Their ideology becomes a religion, anyone who doesn’t puppet their views is seen as an apostate, a heretic or a traitor, and moderates in the middle are annihilated.”
The fact is, men are publicly shamed every day, their livelihoods and reputations teetering on destruction, before they even enter a courtroom.
Frankly, it is disastrous for young women to be taught to see themselves as disadvantaged and vulnerable in a way that bears no relationship to reality. Whereas a previous generation of feminists fought against chaperones and curfews, today’s #MeToo movement rehabilitates the argument that women need to be better protected from rapacious men, or need “safe spaces.” Women come to believe that they will be harassed walking down the street, that they will be paid less than men for the same work, and that the world is set against them. The danger is that, rather than competing with men as equals, women will be so overwhelmed by the apparent size of the struggle that they will abandon all efforts and call upon external helpmates, like the state and ugly identity politics that push good men away. Women’s disadvantage thus become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
All the while, the real problems experienced by many American women—and men—such as working long hours for a low wage and struggling to pay for child and healthcare costs, are overlooked."

"But that, right there, is precisely my point. In a free society, everyone, regardless of gender, or any other identification, is free to be a manipulative, narcissistic, emotionally destructive asshole. So I’m not sure why men have been getting all the credit lately."

Now, go through this gem:
- it is like Feminists are chasing ghosts and they see problem in everything. Hallmark of a destructive mindset.

Feminism is NOT about 'gender equality' but a byproduct of Marxist ideology which championed liberation of women by demonizing social norms of marriage and family-hood which distinguished humans from animals and made it possible for disadvantaged men and women to have meaningful relationships, create families and make it possible for some of their children to have a better future. These social norms also enabled a society to grow and prosper over time.
Look around you now. Depression; Mass Shootings; Narcissism; Gender Wars; Suicides; increasingly Draconian Laws; Institution of Marriage crumbling; Freedom of Expression under attack once again.
Some pointers in relation to mass shootings in schools: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2018/02/18/after-school-shooting-parents-blame/349371002/
"Raley's argument does not fit neatly in the case of the accused Florida shooter. Nikolas Cruz was adopted. His adoptive mother, Lynda Cruz, died of pneumonia in November and his adoptive father died in 2004. Ethan Trieu, 17 — who was friends on and off with Cruz since the sixth grade — said Cruz changed significantly after the death of his father."
You understand the significance of FATHERHOOD now? What is HOLLYWOOD up to these days? FANTASIES (Marvel) and BAD WOMEN who can get away with anything - nothing much in relation to FATHERHOOD.
Incels and MRG - are merely byproducts of increasingly Feminist culture in the WEST. This nonsense does not exist here in Pakistan.
Biggest problem of Democrats are that they concentrate on apparent SYMPTOMS, and overlook the ROOT CAUSE. Having guns is not a problem (I can tell you this much) but lack of productive nuclear families....
B/W
Population growth rate of Denmark in 2018 = 0.2
Population growth rate of US in 2018 = 0.7
Great going.... Very sexual....
It is one thing to be respectful to be women, help them and provide them opportunities for growth, it another to cater to whims and wishes of increasingly idiocractic FEMINIST POLITICS.
