The lack of knowledge of oneself is a really terrible thing. This is what is what is wrong with the black youth of today! There is a lot of fantastic talent out there but it is not being channeled in the right direction. When they learn their OWN HISTORY they will want to make marked improvements in their lives. That’s where they need to start…they can’t wait for others to teach them the truth about our GLORIOUS HISTORY.

IN my opinion, it’s not that Ryan is playing bad, it’s that everybody else has raised their level of play, including Casey and Cheney. Ryan plays with the first unit D, the D Line swallows up everything before he gets close. And the Eagles Offensive Line is pretty impressive also. Ryans should do much better after playing in some preseason games. It’s just everybody’s level of play is maybe something we haven’t seen in a while. These kids are getting after it in Camp, from the undrafted Free Agents to the most seasoned veteran there.

Thanks for the Ryans update. Im sure it’s tough for a guy that has to be the D’s QB to come right in and look like a superstar…can’t wait to see him in preseason.

I think the statistics are different based on men in different cultures. If you take Asian and South Asian men who are programmed to achieve success at an earlier age – this article would not apply to them. Also, I believe your statements are more biased towards men from the ages of 18-23. Yes, you will find some men older than 23 that your statements can apply to, but the stats are skewed towards 23 and younger.

Ridiculous.

I think the author was trying to find out what us making young men hurt and struggle.A lot of what was suggested was pure nonsense IMO, but young men have been marginalized and put down in our almost pathological male bashing culture.

Long article. I waited in vain for it to get to the point.

If every game in town is a “wimmin’s game” with the odds always fixed artificially in their favour, why would men want to play? There’s no incentive.

Men that live with their parents and play video games are considered immature. Because maturity is defined by women in terms of their willingness to serve women.

It’s not rocket science.

wow

What women don’t seem to understand is that they have changed the rules. Marriage used to provide us men with a faithfull mate, someone to bring up your kids, look after your house and be attentive to your needs. In exchange we committed and went out and worked to pay for it all. Now we get none of that. At best “commitment” means living with a permanently stressed out woman who puts you at the bottom of the pile, after career, kids, socialising and shopping, who outsources the care of your children and can’t boil an egg. At worst, encouraged by the courts and a sense of dissatisfaction and entitlement, she will disppear with another man and your children, and financially cripple you for life! and this brings on my mind some words of advice:

THE 4 BIBLE PASSAGES:

1 John 2:18-19 “Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen; from this we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, in order that it might be shown that they all are not of us.”

1 John 2:22-23 “Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies THE FATHER AND THE SON(*). Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also.”

1 John 4:2-3 “By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; and this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.”

2 John 1:7 “For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.”

From the Bible we can clearly see 3 things. First, the “antichrist” is defined as anyone who doesn’t believe Jesus is the divine son of God. Second, “antichrists” appear to actively teach against Christ. Third, there were many “antichrists” in the world when John wrote the book. This directly contradicts the teaching of modern speculationists who say that one antichrist will arise at some still future time.

The Greek word from which our English word “antichrist” is translated is very simple to understand. It is a simple compound word and means “anti” + “Christ” = “antichrist”. We use the same compound word every day. We have people who are “anti-smoking” or “anti-gay” or “anti-hunting” or “anti-Semitic” or “anti-abortion”. There really is no big mystery as to what the word means. “Anti-Christ” is anyone who opposes Christ.

Take this test to see if you are an “antichrist”: 1. Do you actively teach or simply believe that Jesus Christ never walked the earth, but was a mythological figure? 2. Do you actively teach or simply believe there was a man named Jesus Christ, but he did not actually raise from the dead? 3. Do you actively speak out against or simply believe Christianity is a false religion? 4. Jesus said, “He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me scatters” Matthew 12:30. Are you an atheist or agnostic who is indifferent and non-religious? Then you too are an “antichrist”! The Bible term “antichrist” could be simply understood to be equivalent to being a “non-believer.”

The “antichrist” then, has no horns or red glowing eyes. Neither is the “antichrist” some demon possessed super-intelligent human clone. Rather, the “antichrist” are generally.. the women!

Basically, in the bible there’s a warning to keep women in the right conditions so they cannot harm themselves and men, or everythings will be doomed and the world as (they) we knows will end.

Today, women gained power (the dragon myth is realted to power), wreak families, childs and destroy the male figure in our societies, If a major religion is praying to a female deity, would it not make sense that the opposite of Christ would be totally inverse? the women? i think so..

Ancient warn us about women but seems that we don’t really care, even if they are doing exactly what they once told us..

That’s why men must remember and be, once again, MEN! since the antichrists, the antimen, the women, will ruin men’s life.. check the world around you.. where only a bunch of smart men who use women rules over all.. they earn lot of money just to deceive men using women to drives men life’s crazy and waste their life.

what happened to the other 251 comments?

Men arn’t the problem.

Funny. Spend 40 plus years deriding Ward Cleaver, and then wonder why no one aspires to be Ward Cleaver.

Boys become men when boys want to become men. Boys want to become men when there is some benefit to becoming a man.

In most human affairs, authority runs with responsibility. A cultural insurgency has stripped men of any authority they formerly had in the domestic sphere, and left them only with the responsibilities. Is it any wonder that so few would want to take on only endless, open-ended responsibilities?

I think the biggest problems is we’re still adhering to standards of the 1950s and 1960s, despite the advancements of females.

Women did want to go to school, have careers, have that corner office, have that executive position. Unfortunately, they also want to be Mrs. Someone and have some kids. They run into the issue at times of inner conflicts when they want to be the happy homemaking mom, but also the CEO, and even then have issue on a gender role reversal. They one moment want the husband to chip in, but the next moment they get angry because he’s not living up to her standard or her thinking in parental matters.

How about she works and he stays at home? It sounds wonderful, but women then need to “get over it” when they feel embarrassed that their husbands aren’t making more money than them like daddy did with mommy. The “marry up” mentality has to go.

I also think the examples shown in this article are not ideal. These guys graduated colleges and in my book are trying to make something happen. They just have the advantage of being able to have a fallback. They want those elusive careers that Corporate America makes it so hard to get, and they don’t want to wait tables or wash dishes to get into an office. I know where they came from because I was that…and my own boomeranging with goals led me now to being the successful hardworking sought-after professional.

The REAL examples that need to be shown are the 28-40 year old men who SKIPPED or DROPPED OUT of college, live at home, work a crappy part-time job, and spend their time playing video games and whacking off to porn. The ones with no goals or ambitions, and they only “do something” when their parents give them enough flack. Even then, the little they do is merely show to “shut my parents up”.

Those are the lost ones. That’s the real problem. The overgrown children who have no goals or ambitions, and they just want to float one day into the next, not even wondering what happens when mom and dad die and now no one’s there to take care of them.

One last thing…those ‘good men’ talked of do exist. They’re are plenty of them…but too many women reject them because those men never fit into the fantasy mold of their ideal mate. Thus you see female blogs and message boards lament on “why are all the hot guys losers, the good guys ugly, and the good hot guys gay?”

What an asswipish article, from yet another narcissistic woman who hasn’t quite got the equation that in this era of the debunked ‘masturbation-makes-you-go-blind’ myth, videogames are an ecological approach to pleasure, experiencing the speed of Multi Theft Auto instead of the relativism of the immature women from Sex and the City who haven’t read Freud and Nietszche.

“You ladies have “Sex and the City” and “Desperate Housewives”. I have my pr0n and escorts. See Ya.”

Wow. Both choices are sad.

So according to this woman it’s not OK to stay with my parents (whom I love and appreciate and help around the house), play video games (which I love and have no problem admitting), look at porn (which you know, 99% of straight men do regularly), or avoid jobs that we hate (which would only be what we do for the majority of our lives)? Sounds like fun.

Yeah, I think I’ll take being a failure of a man in this woman’s eyes if it means I never have to put up with her.

This article was certainly worth a read, and it definitely made my day. I’m still in college, and this gives a very bleak view of what I can expect once I enter the working world as an ambitious woman. I anticipate loneliness and disappointment, so I don’t seek out a relationship. But this is because I haven’t learned enough. If men and women honestly took the time to learn more about each other, the world might be better off. It would discard all the blasphemous stereotypes of today’s society.

It’s interesting so many men read this article as an anti-male piece. As a mother of three young men, it scares me to read about the lack of drive. Young men need to go to battle for something. Fine, you don’t want to do it for women? Do it for yourself. Not working and being satisfied with waiting for the perfect job is disturbing. Get a JOB! It’s easy to blame the economy, but not working towards something gives us people without a reason for living. That ain’t good!

Why is it, when men were doing better in school and career, it was levied on discrimination (and still is, for STEM fields, the only place women don’t dominate), yet despite 40 years of tailoring the education system and workplace environment to suit women, without a second thought to men, the only excuse for men’s failures is “they are inept children refusing to grow up”. Ever consider, maybe, just maybe, tossing men to the side for 40 years, denigrating them constantly (as seen in the media with the idiotic, inept, manchild rolemodels seen in virtually every commercial or sitcom) might have had a negative effect on men? That maybe, just maybe, this is the inevitable outcome of striving for equality by looking solely at one gender? Isn’t it a little sexist to lay the blame square on some male deficiency without even exploring the possibility of alternative causes (which are plentiful on the net. Google “globe and mail failing boys” and there is a 6 part story on the subject, and none of it lays the blame on masculinity like you do here.)

I’m a happily-married, gainfully-employed 29-year-old male and find this article full of crap.

Both young men and young women are taking longer to get “launched” after college, because we’ve been in a recession and an undergraduate degree isn’t worth nearly what it once was.

Although males certainly consume more, both guys and girls today play more video games and consume more pr0n than previous generations.

And as for those jobs for 18-25 year old guys (manufacturing, unskilled labor, etc), those were all streamlined, right-sized, downsized, and outsourced by successful Boomers and Gen-Xers. You can’t make a semi-living wage with two years of high school pumping gas anymore.

Is Gen Y lazy, entitled, and sometimes foolish? Of course–we’re young. Every generation is when they’re young, then wises up later. This article reads more like “get off my lawn” than the wisdom of experience.

I am looking for my Sugar Mama. When she picks me for her BF, I’ll be on Easy Street.

Social contracts. The contract of chivalry is very different from that of equality. The women these days would like to have the perks of both and responsibilities of neither. Understandable, but nobody’s standing up to say “no bloody way.” I am supposed to treat women as my equal… until a ship is sinking, then it’s women first. I’m supposed to make the exact same wages as a woman on a job, but I’m supposed to pay for her meal on a date. It’s “a woman’s body” when she considers an abortion – my views don’t matter. When she decides not to abort and demand child support from me, it’s my duty – even if I told her to have an abortion.
Frankly, that’s bullshit. Unequal status under chivalry was a reflection of unequal responsibility. Equal status, equal responsibility. Ladies, woman-up. You’re equal. It’s the 21st century. You’re well past the fainting couch.

1. divorce courts are terribly biased against men
2. men are perpetual punching bags for feminazis, government and media
3. government enforced “equality”
4. false rape claims by the millions
5. “hate” speech laws destroying FREE speech
6. welfare and “reverse discrimination”
7. the culture of SlutWalk
8. the “opressor-opressed” dementia, where men are always to blame

you know what, Multicultural Marxists? we’re not playing this game anymore.

are successful in the workfeild and in school, dose’nt mean men can’t be. I don’t see why one gender has to be belittled for the other to be successful. So is the answer for me to drop out of college and forego my plans to be a labrotory technologist and stay in the kitchen so men can feel better about themselves? What happens when mommy and daddy die and you have no family of your own to fall back on? Face it your parents did their job raising you and want you out of their house but are too nice to say it. An xbox and porn might seem like all you need and sure you can bang a hooker, but do any of those things tell you they love you at night? Like a good woman and a chld would? If woman haveing rights makes guys like this that’s pretty pathetic. Grow up take some responsiblity. I enjoy the freedoms this country has allowed me in eduacation and carrears, but I also would take the time to love a family, cook, clean, make cookies, and all that. When theses guys are in their 60′s will this life style…

This is the effect of the new socialism thrust upon American society. The Europeans went through it in the 60′s and 70′s. The Italians call them Mammoni. Take away all the support structures, take away medical insurance until they are 28 and they will grow up PDQ. There is always the military..

Shaun absolutely did NOT ask for a reprint of this, or if he did, it was to demonstrate terrible, awkward, misdirected, and over-punctuated rag writing.

I’m a 30 year old male with a good job, my own home, and (despite not being a professional writer) a thousand times the writing ability Ms. Sandy Hingston evinces in any page she’s ever disgraced with her name.

Then again, there are no real writers left at any of the major Philadelphia print publications. So Sandy, you’re in good, terrible company.

Why are any of us to believe this bias bullshit? At least get your so called rights in order before you attempt to call out the other sex with this kind of dribble.

This is what we get for taking competition out of society. Young boys and men thrive on competition, and we used to have outlets for it. Remember recess and gym sports like boxing, rope climbing, and track? There were once pure, visible ways to prove our worth.

These days, we don’t keep score, “everybody wins”. No, false, wrong, men need competition to grow. We are a bunch of pussies today because we’ve taken everything manly out of growing up. Dear god, we wouldn’t want to harm the children’s “sensibilities” now, would we?

Why would men want to marry a modern woman?

To cook their own dinners, finance her lifestyle while she sleeps with another man, go through a divorce and then pay alimony?

Do yourselves a favour broes, get yourself a Thai transsexual.

They’re grateful for whatever they can get, they don’t complain and they don’t get pregnant.

This honestly felt like an Onion article. A neat little point, & then all these absurd “facts” & “quotes” to back it up.

Why would we men want self-absorbed, greedy, shrill resource-drags?

We got nothing from the relationship, while you take, take, take.

Yeah, and with what jobs? I’ve worked at the same job for the past four years, earning only $7.50 per hour.

This article betrays a serious sense of entitlement of its writer: she wants men to

I’m 26, served in the Iraq war, came back, got an engineering degree and then a job. I will never marry.

Marriage is no longer necessary to perpetuate the species, and ideas and technologies breed faster than genes and upbringing.

The only reasons are personal, and that contract is just bad business. I can get trust and sex without the catastrophic risk of betrayal and penury and legal battles marriage enforces.

It’s an prefabbed cultural scam for women to exploit, and culture is the only reason it survives under the lens of modern communications.

I am a woman, and I totally side with the men on this one. The expectations that woman have of men do not suffice anymore in a world where we have fought and strived for equality. We got exactly what we wanted and now we’re still expecting men to go the extra mile. Its a give and take. Honestly, I am offended that we aren’t citing the fact that some woman (maybe alot) actually don’t want families and would rather have sex and play video games too??!! This is coming from a mother (me) of a 3 year old too!! If saying, “until death do us part” also means you look forward to not sleeping in the same bed some day, then maybe marriage and the societal norms and rules that coincide with marriage don’t apply anymore. My advice: do what makes you happy as long as you aren’t harming others. If in fact you meet someone along the way that you would like to spend the rest of your life with then it should be the icing on the cake. Woman (and men) should be happy with themselves and their life first and foremost, and then…

The short answer to a long question is – the reward for being the model male is not commensurate with the reward. It never was commensurate with the reward, in point of fact, but until recently an enforced lack of alternatives kept things running (men were systematically excluded from charity previous to the modern era, for example).

Your article is effectively “Why women should care.” You fail to address at all why men should.

While it seems true enough to the casual observer that men are overstaying their visit in adolescence, this article has way too many generalizations.

I would rather play video games and watch porn all night than having an angry and entitled princess rule my life.

And no… sex isn’t worth it.

I fall in that demographic. I’m a liberal English teacher who did gender and sexuality studies at university, and enjoyed them. I have loads of different short term girlfriends, dress like a full-blown hipster, and generally treat my body like shit. I have no plans for a family or a relationship longer than it takes for me to find someone more attractive. I treat women like shit and have been told this to my face, but I couldn’t care less. I make decent money, live on my own and get all my entertainment for free- what more do I want?

I get it: you boys are mad that no one is giving you participation trophies anymore. Now u are all grown up and don’t want to work for anything. Newsflash: Your parents PAID for those trophies. Now

Interesting viewpoints… Seems somewhat sensationalized, though.

Either way, this is likely just the fallout of a major social shift. Guys can’t move along the same railways as they have historically in the “oppressive patriarchy” of yesteryears… Traditional “male standards” are being re-evaluated and redefined by both genders, and there’s a generation or so that’ll be caught in that upheaval.
Suck it up, ladies. These are the growing pains of social progress.marriage

Another article that is laced with half-truths, lies, and exaggerations. Remove all the embellishment and flowery, pseudo-intellectual trash, and your left with an article that is trying to drive home that females > males. A shame really, this is all going to end badly for you penis envying plebs. Men are wising up to you promiscuous, hypocritical, serpents posing as academics. Keep casting stones at the Goliath, he shall wake soon.

All I get from this is “Why don’t the men I know have jobs so they can take care of me so I don’t have to do anything?”

This article is so biased it’s actually a bit funny. I guess men have realized the vanity of material success, since apparently the only indicators of doing well in life are now having a nice woman, having kids with your woman, leaving your kids at daycare since both of you work now, and making sure you make 100k+ at some wage-slave cubicle farm. None of that is appealing. Myself? I’m becoming a pilot, and it’ll be about 10 years before I earn real money, but I’m doing what I want, and more importantly it’s awesome.

I’d just like to throw out there that I am a twenty-three year old male, who has a real job with benefits, I’m in great shape, I have a long relationship, I’m a college graduate, I don’t live at

I’m not gonna change the way I live my life just because a group of sluts who take it in the ass daily bitch and moan about it. Infact, it might actually encourage me to continue doing it just to rustle their jimmies.

Women got what they wanted. I fail to see the issue here.

They are in power more than ever before; young men are, on the whole, kinder, more charitable, and more sensitive to feminist issues; government support for women is at an all-time high…

I could go on, but the point is that they got what they wanted. Why are they blaming their continuing unhappiness on young men, when the most we ask for nowadays is just to be left alone?

Most of us young males out there realize that relationships, marriage, and fatherhood is like sitting under the sword of Damocles, and it’s very understandable that most wouldn’t want to take that risk. Marriage is like a business venture nowadays. If they want to make the contract more appealing, simply lower the risk.

Maybe if men werent devalued by rampant feminism in every aspect of society, and the entire role of the husband and father in our civilization wasn’t revoked to please militant feminists, maybe if women weren’t favoured for jobs and positions to promote gender equality in the workplace, I might want to go out and get a job, and raise a family. As it is, because of ridiculous laws that favour women, I can be accused of rape with no evidence at all and treated as a rapist untill I am cleared, losing my job, family and friends. I be divorced with no fault at all, lose my children, property and income in that no-fault divorce, be roped into paying child support for children I’m not allowed to see in that same divorce, go to prison because I can’t afford to pay that child support. I can fall in love with a woman, and have her destroy my entire life out of nothing more than boredom, take my children, tear apart my family, take my house, my property and my income, even destroy my reputation, and I don’t have to have done anything wrong. Society teaches women that men aren’t feeling…

the amount of cultural – Marxist propaganda in this article is simply unbelievable.

“white men have become lazy and stupid because hummmm humm video games yes video games and porn yes that’s why. haha I am so smart because I have degree in sociology from Harvard haha” give me a fucking break..

btw I have Chemistry degree from a good university and while most of my female colleagues already have jobs no employer will replay to my applications unless I have a masters and/or 2-3 years experience.

Men have no incentive or need to get married and have kids as soon as is humanly possible. If anything, we have an incentive not to.

These young men you so despise still have plenty of time. They can wait until 40 to get married if they want, and spend the next 20 years saving money, and enjoying life instead of paying for your clothes. We’re not slaving away at jobs we hate, just to borrow and mortgage our future to buy you a $10,000 piece of carbon and a house. We were willing to do these things once upon a time, and probably would still, but you changed the rules.

Feminism has given women more opportunities and more independence. It has also emasculated a generation of men who have been raised to believe women don’t need them. Men are giving you what you said you wanted, but you can’t fight nature. Men are just doing what makes them happy, while your biological clocks are ticking away. Ours just tick slower.

We were willing to do these things once upon a time, and probably would still, but you changed the rules.

Feminism has given women more opportunities and more independence. It has also emasculated a generation of men who have been raised to believe women don’t need them. Men are giving you what you said you wanted, but you can’t fight nature. Men are just doing what makes them happy, while your biological clocks are ticking away. Ours just tick slower.

Men have no incentive or need to get married and have kids as soon as is humanly possible. If anything, we have an incentive not to.

These young men you so despise still have plenty of time. They can wait until 40 to get married if they want, and spend the next 20 years saving money, and enjoying life instead of paying for your clothes.

I find it interesting how this article compares 1960s standards of “man” to today, as though the times haven’t changed but the men have.
With an awful job economy, soaring tuition costs, etc, there are fewer and fewer reasons to “grow up” to modern men, and the whole “not married/no kids by 30″ takes 2 to tango.

“By Sandy Hingston” Enough said. Women are expecting to much and giving to little. They want equal rights and all, but still demand us men to pay for everything. It’s the feminists fault.

I think it’s kind of embarassing how a lot of women base their happiness, self worth (as well as other’s) and maturity by how big of a house they have, how much their husband makes and if they have kids or not.

That is such a depressingly shallow and boring outlook on life that I thank raptor Jesus every day for the fact that my girlfriend is not like that.

Someone please tell me if this is a joke article? It’s god damned terrible.

All we want is sex.
well up until about 2 years ago, all I wanted was a woman I could date and marry, but All I see is women slutting around, so I lose respect for women and decide to just sleep around.

none of them have jobs
i have a full time job working in IT but i guess thats just for boys, despite the fact i make a salary its just for boys.

fuck off with this complete trash.

women followed the script?
which women? the ones who are at university all day, study all night? the kind of women who wouldnt have volunteered to give out information to this? the women you asked are brain dead whores who are only good for a fuck.

“The majority of the guys my age that I meet are immature,” says Jessica ­Claremon, a blunt, outspoken 24-year-old who grew up in Fort Washington and now lives in New York City, where she works for Nickelodeon.

So she spends her time producing radical leftist propaganda for Viacoms Children TV Channel and complains about childish men? Watch any show on Nickelodeon and you’ll see a weak beta male and a STRONG, INTELLIGENT WOMYN bossing them around. I don’t know a single show on the channel that portrays realistic roles of the sexes.

Examples?
Spongebob: Weak beta male who can’t even drive.
Sandy: Rocket Scientist who is stronger than all of her male friends
BONUS: She is from a traditionalistic state like Texas. Great tactic, get girls from a conservative state to identify with a radical feminist and make them insecure about being normal women.

Fairly OddParents:
Cosmo: Childish Idiot who can’t tie his shoelaces
Wanda: Very Intelligent, Voice of Reason
BONUS: The Parents are irrelevant, idiotic sidegags with no authority

Drake & Josh: Two Brothers who get bossed around by their little sister, father is a moron, mother is in charge.

The list just goes on and on, you can pick out virtually any children show made…

Is fucking dumb feminist propaganda

thanks for bashing us men. even though i stay up playing games all night, i work 45 hours a week. i am a military vet with a combat tour to afghanistan as well. so just because u have had a bad experience because you chose a guy u clearly shouldnt have been with otherwise u wouldnt have posted this article.

What makes this writer think that morality isn’t relative? Do they know anything about video games whatsoever? Our lives are meaningless, and I’m sure that people are figuring it out. It’s not a problem where white males feel left out, it’s apathy due to an understanding that they are a part of the worst generation since the 70′s, due to their horrible parents and bad birth placement. Now I’m not gonna say my parents are bad people, but they aren’t good parents. I fit into this demographic that you are pointing at here, and I reject your narrow viewpoint of our entire existence.

This article is clearly silly and written to sell copies. It’s yellow journalism in it’s simplest form; every single controversial angle is touched upon with a gross generalisation made to incite rebuke. Especially the “women are lesbians because men are losers” line.

The author very much knew what she was doing when she wrote this article.

This article is dreadfully written, poorly researched and full of biased opinions with no basis in fact. As a woman I found it almost as insulting to my intelligence as it was insulting to men. I won’t go into all the ways in which this was done but it seems to me that the only thing an article like this can achieve is to make both genders dislike each other. At least my boyfriend and I managed to laugh at it for 5 minutes. It’s not worth taking any more seriously than that.

As a society, we’ve abandoned responsibility and embraced short-term gratification. The result? Single moms. You wanted it, you got it ladies. Raise that child on your own. Show us how strong you really are.

The author of this article is ridiculous. To say that there are more self-identifying lesbians now than there were 20 years ago (duh?) because men are “losers” is hilarious. Writer, you ought to be ashamed of yourself.

So, let’s see.

If you have a hobby, you’re wasting your time away.
If you act how you want and achieve happiness the way you want, you’re a loser. Except if you are a woman.
If for some reason you do not want to marry or have children, you have a problem.
If you don’t leave home after age X, you’re a despicable leecher regardless of the reason.
If you don’t fullfil every single criteria down to the tiniest details determined, you’re not dateable. Regardless of that,apparently, all you ever need to do to get a girlfriend / wife is to live alone and have money, everything else is optional.

Sure makes sense. It’s all videogames’ fault.

I just love seeing bad parents who didn’t offer their kids guidance lamenting about how terrible and awful the youth of today is. Did you teach your kids what it takes to be a man? No? Then kindly shut up and quit complaning about them being childish sissies.

Hey, why so mean? You know we can still read, right? I guess I should just go feel bad about myself some more.

How come it was okay for women to decide how they wanted to live, but now that men do, it is wrong?

Yeah, just what all young men want to do. Get married to a shrieking nag who will more likely than not divorce us within five years (most marriages fail and most divorces are initiated by women), and then be victimized by the courts which unfairly advantage women, to the point where marriage is now obsolete and intelligent men are refusing to enter such a onesided arrangement more and more.

This is the bird coming home to roost. Not interested in what you’re selling us. It’s rotten.

Reading the article carefully I find the writer asks many good questions. Why are men changing the way they are? Sadly like many users mentioned there is a heavy tone of generalization and double speak (ala Woman are successful but men should be MORE SUCCESSFUL (and preferable own a business)! more balanced writing along with tighter sources would have made this a quality article. -21 year old male psychology major student

I fit in practically all of the criteria that the author put forth and yet I can say for sure that it’s not my fault. Nobody hires because of education and degrees anymore, it’s all about relevant experience. And whining about younger generations is as old as Socrates. Give it a rest.

“You’d think boys would be feeling bad about their lack of puissance. They’re not, especially, because we’ve painstakingly taught them never to be judgmental. When the authors of the book Lost in Transition: The Dark Side of Emerging Adulthood polled young adults, 47 percent agreed that “morals are relative, there are not definite rights and wrongs for everybody.” If you want to lie in bed all day and beat up virtual hookers—dude, hey, that’s cool.”

Are you f’ing serious? This literally has nothing to do with anything and if anything shows that men think outside the box

Does this vapid cunt really drone on for 6 more pages? i’ve got video games to play and porn to watch. see ya later!

Ever heard the phrase “correlation is not causation”? It’s probably the very first thing you learn about communication theory and I think you may have forgotten. This article is chock full of sweeping generalizations based on assumption. The maturity of an entire generation is not something that can be empirically measured, so don’t try! It’s completely subjective. How could you possibly try to generalize young men like myself by citing interviews with random girls at a bar as evidence? You even tried to assert that three times as many women than men are gay because “the guys they know are losers.” What’s next? Men are gay because girls have cooties?

Thank you.

“…extended adolescence may be the accidental offspring of the Pill.”

a brilliant observation and it could not be more timely considering the current national debate. we should think about the social consequences of a tax-payer subsidized program making the pill even more readily available. the children and young adults who will inherit the federally subsidized healthcare system (of the variety the President Obama & Co. have passed into law) will inherit a good system, but will probably be unwilling and uninterested to maintain it. they’ll be too busy watching porn and playing video games to care.
overall this was probably the best article I’ve read in Philly Mag in years. seriously, keep up the good work.

along the lines of “men have the right to define happiness anyway they please, and it’s not up to anyone else to impose it”. I would like those same commenters to address the issue of immature adult males’ financial dependence on parents and women. How is their happiness related to the responsiblities they shove off onto others?

Modern marriage reminds me of suicide bombers. Get in close in disguise then blow up destroying your life. As much as my life sucks, 26, living with my parents no money no job, I almost have my college degree. I don’t have tens of thousands of dollars in child support, student loans, etc. I’m grateful I’m in a good place and worry about the men I served with who are still over there. So tell me sweetheart, why should I accept that my brothers are on the frontlines where they aren’t even told who the enemy is but over here they’re supposed to do everything for everyone else but themselves? I don’t blame them for drinking. They’re mostly alcoholics. Most can handle their liquor. The only reason I don’t drink is I’m afraid I would never stop. So don’t judge us too harshly sweetheart. After all, all those ‘losers’ you demand ‘man up’ are at least alive to play those video games of COD, and don’t give their families the shivers of doubt of whether they’ll come back alive in a month or week. They’re living their lives. You’re living yours. Next question. As an accomplished journalist and a writer…

In Japan 60% of men under the age of forty have checked out altogether when it comes to a life of chivalry, provide and protect for women and (their) children. So much so in fact, the government has identified it as a critical economic crisis for the country. Instead, like here in the west, they are focusing on their own immediate and long-term personal happiness. The men who posted here, who are not a statistic or a story line, but who are the actual people this article is about, have made their points clear in a collective and unified voice. Unless or until women start to listen to these realities, they should expect these and many more fundamental changes for men.

I learned everything about women in one week of my life. I spent 4 years in college single. I would have loved to have a woman to come home to at night but no, I wasn’t good enough for any of them.
Then I graduated. Got a dot.com job in the first week for $55K. Showed off my check to one of my ex classmates and the word got out. Within 2 days, four girls, barely legal, started pursuing me, wearing the shortest miniskirts that were legal.
Guess what? I told them all to f**k off. “You didn’t want me a week ago, you don’t want me now. Sorry, but I can afford my own woman”.
Been single ever since. Get all my sex from pr0n and escorts. It works out much cheaper than the real thing and no child support lawsuits.
You ladies have “Sex and the City” and “Desperate Housewives”. I have my pr0n and escorts.
See Ya.

All my life people were telling me to go to college so I wouldn’t be flipping burgers my whole life. Years later and now in the recession these same people say I shouldn’t be too big to work flipping burgers or landscaping with a college degree. Sorry but all we want is the same opportunities offered everyone before us. Now there are no factories, plants, mills. Sorry if we are disallusioned with the whole “American Dream” right now.

I’m a married 49 year old male. I’m also a father.

Ms. Hingston makes some valid, interesting points. But for crying out loud let’s put aside the experts, professors, shrinks and professional pundits/societal auteurs and call a spade a spade.

The main problem is parents. Sorry folks but you guys f**ked up. What ever good your parents gave you in the way of a good upbringing has been totally wasted. You’ve raised a nation of whiny, self-entitled protest hamsters. And we have to deal with them.

With apologies to MS. Hingston, only a full blown idiot goes to school for Journalism without a backupplan. there are jobs out there. People like “Connor” don’t want to work chances are the guy has never mowed a lawn or snaked a toilet. get a job washing dishes or stocking shelves. Pay your way. I had two jobs in high school, did an internship with an engineering school and helped out in the family restaurant before i was allowed to vote. It’s not hard. It’s just work. You can always write in your spare time. Millions of hipsters do it all day long in coffee shops.

Just complete the transition, kid. get a few whimiscal tats…

Feminism freed men from the drudgery of having to work like slave to support our families. With that responsibility gone, we are now free to live our lives as we choose and we are very happy about it. There is nothing more fulfilling than not being married to a harpie.

Since women are accomplishing “wonderful stuff”, when can we expect them to win Nobel prizes in science? Maybe apply Title IX to science and then see? Last 50+ years of “freedom from oppression” didnt make it happen.. so lets rig the game there also.

And if men come anywhere close, lets just accuse them of false rapes etc and incarcerate them, or at least destroy their careers http://falserapesociety.blogspot.com/

If a virtual world is more enjoyable than a real world with you, maybe you should take a closer look at yourselves.

Well done Sandy if you absorb these comments you have started to scratch the surface of the problem at large, have you got the ovaries to see how deep the rabbit hole goes?

Ever increasing numbers of men have consciously or sub-consciously carried the cost/benefit analysis of marriage and family (including the exit costs) and made a rational decision to opt out.

After decades of blatant misandry have been ignored by women its only when feminism starts hurting women do they finally get interested in the problem. Men won’t forget the betrayal that easily I’m afraid.

I find the comments very interesting, “Anonymous.”

I am 60 years old. I have worked and raised a family, wearing myself out in the process. I work in a dead end job, waiting for retirement. I used to be an interesting guy when I was single, but now I’m just another boring old fart.

I can’t complain though. My wife hasn’t divorced me, and we still sort of love each other. But she hectors me constantly for converting to a different religion than the one I was practicing when we married.

I don’t see any benefit for young men to follow
Ms. Hingborn’s advice and become an exhausted old broke down plow horse like me. Stick to your video games. Women aren’t worth the effort, and I was lucky enough to get a relatively good one.

“In Boys Adrift, Leonard Sax says American men have gone astray because we’ve failed to provide them with a social construction of masculinity—an answer to the question “What makes a man a man?””

Why always this default assumption of “We”? This unnamed “we” that is always supposed to “do something”?

How about YOU just do nothing and leave us to decide?

Once upon a time a “We”, called women, decided what it meant for men to be men.

And what was masculine was whatever traits women found to be useful.

The real problem in the culture when it comes to “masculinity” is that others try to define for men, besides the individual man, what it means for him to be himself.

So what does the article writer propose? The incentives and rewards to men to MAN UP have been whittled away to nothing until there is only inordinate risk left for the the endless and life shortening self-sacrifice. With the side effects of the sexual revolution, better and more realistic porn, and soon the male pill, any intelligent man will do a little as makes him happy and not sign onto a long term, extremely expensive and mostly one sided contract called marriage.

Can’t men make their own choices without generalized societal shame? Is the only alternative to have their lives relegated to someone else’s script?

Have you considered that the so-called ‘script’ doesn’t work well for men?

I love women. I could easily see myself committing to a woman for life, but I’m not going to enter into a one-sided contract with anyone… not even a woman that I love beyond measure. I’m sorry.

“Something, it seems, is sucking the life out of guys quite literally.”

“…says Jessica ¬Claremon, a blunt, outspoken 24-year-old”

“more than one academic cites porn as a reason young men are content to…”

There you have it. The whole article summed up in those three quotes. Men are having the life sucked out of them by disagreeable women who bring nothing to the table but attitude and a list of things they demand in a man, so the guys go home and watch porn.

Sounds like a pretty good alternative to me. Women are saying “I don’t need a man. I can do it on my own” and men say “Ok. Bye.”

Women need to be wanted and men want to be needed. We don’t want women who don’t need us, and women don’t need men who don’t want them. This isn’t rocket science, folks.

Sincerely,

Professor Mentu

Women don’t appear to understand cause and effect very well.

Women were never truly oppressed, that is the big myth. That is why feminism actually liberated the oppressed group – the average working joe.

This article is so illogical and juvenile that it makes women look more inferior, rather than men.

I am glad that the costs of feminism are now transferring back to women.

Please get off MY couch, stop eating MY food, using MY house as yours and get out there and get YOUR own life in order.

Stop taking advantage of your parents generosity and be a MAN and find your own way. If you don’t then you will be a loser forever.

The answers to this story can be found in this thesis:

http://www.singularity2050.com/the-misandry-bubble/

===================

I know plenty of women my age who’ve not “followed the script.” This time of ours, with its depressed housing, jobless rates, rising education costs for decreasing value of college degrees has lead men and women into a host of new narratives that weren’t part of the Baby-boomer script.

Come on, labeling a generation of men this way simply stokes some erroneous gender warfare debate. Baseless stereotyping. Let’s hurry and put the middle-class male threat level to orange!

The success of my generation will be based on creating new narratives. In many ways previous post war generations had it easy. Go to college or get into manufacturing, do well, buy a home and have a better life than your parents did.

Hey Millennials, beware of Boomers pedaling bunk theories based on the gender blame game. As a women, I’m not satisfied in pointer fingers. It’s weak.

72% of female newlyweds expect to get divorced. It’s part of the package to them. Women aren’t interested in committing. They initiate nearly all the divorces. They’re interested in men committing to them.

It’s hilarious how women drop out like flies at all the stressful and taxing career paths, searching to downgrade and have a man support them. They’re so delusional thinking that work is such a privilege.

These young men will surpass them at earning like men always do. The only change that is occurring is that men are increasingly wising up to the manipulative intentions of women. Keep raping men in the family courts and see what happens.

You would never write such an article mocking and demonizing women’s flaws.

I’m happy women are as bitter as they are. Most of them don’t view men as human beings and couldn’t spell ‘empathy’ without gagging. Porn, video games, beer, sports, hanging out? Sounds like fun. Unless your view of men is restricted to how they benefit whiny women.

Another wittering article which fails to grasp the situation and boils down to yet another demand from women for men to “man up”.

Why should we? Can we ask women to “woman up”?

Feminism has “freed” women to live the way they want, to stomp around congratulating themselves on their successes and achievements. Good for you.
The best news is that feminism has actually freed men. More and more men these days have opted out of the usual obligations and responsibilities – if women are so “equal”, why should men have to do anything for them?
The real problem with feminism, unfortunately, is the way it constantly attacks men and labels us as abusers, rapists and pedophiles. Look at what happens to guys in uni. Two people get drunk, have sex, wake up in the morning and regret it … but she gets to call him a rapist.

Women are getting better results and more uni places – but they still want men who are taller, richer and smarter. Tough. You can’t pick and choose when you are equal only when it suits you.

I look forward to hearing about more and more men not getting married. Maybe someday all the inequalities and injustices will…

Note how masculinity is framed I tiredly in therms of utility to women. It’s women who want babies and houses.

As for school – its a scam. 1 trillion in student debt and counting, and a generation of mainly women who wil be carrying unserviceable debt for the rest of their lives.

“….They followed the script… high school… college… jobs, started looking around for someone special…”

Wrong script. The husband quest should begin at 20, not 30. By the time a woman hits 30, most of the men of her generation will either…
(a) already be married,
(b) have been corrupted and rendered unmarriagable by the free sex culture (if they’re really attractive), or
(c)give up hope of ever finding a woman (the rejected nice guys.)

Women created this situation, by delaying the age of marriage of young men and simultaneously spreading their legs for free. Only a restoration of the old incentives, can restore the old behavior.

“There are young men out there, he says, who manage somehow to navigate the harrowing voyage through American culture and come out as “good guys”—men who drink responsibly, respect women, and behave in anti-sexist, anti-racist and anti-homophobic ways. So he’s studying them: ”

And he’s probably finding that, for all their efforts, they tend to get less female attention than a lot of the so-called losers described in this article. Which should answer the question of why young men aren’t trying to hard to emulate that. To say nothing of what they’ve seen happen to men who “man up” and get married, only to go through the divorce ringer.

I’m 26. I got a good job with far above average pay. Didn’t do to well in school (never saw the point of it). So now I’m busting my ass for a company to pay the tax man and the landlord (there goes 70% of my gross). Women don’t care much for me (probably because I’m “boring”) and still go after the same idiots and deadbeats they went after in school. Now I’m supposed to get married (50% chance of divorce) and have children?

Other guys sit at home, play video games all day, not worry about a thing, have low stress, might even get more sex… How are they the losers in this?

Ladies, you are supposedly independent now. If you want to get married, try to snatch up one of those guys so he can depend on you. I’m independent as well, I don’t need a woman in my life.

Compared to when dating or living with a girlfriend I have a lot more money now and can afford other things that give me happiness.

This article reads like the idea itself was pitched before any real research was done and hurried to a deadline.

If we go by the logic of the story, why would a white middle-class American male want to get married and have children anyway, if the net benefit is the future debt-burden of more lazy white middle-class man-children?

As a female I found this article itself to be lazy, flawed and sexist.

There are a lot of comments here disparaging the content of the article (which I quite enjoyed nonetheless) but I did feel compelled to comment that the author is very talented. I really enjoyed the writing style and it held my interest throughout the piece.

Good writing is such a rare delight these days. Kudos to the author.

I served in the army from 2001-2006 so I could afford to go to college. 3 tours later I leave and move back in with my parents. I get my degree with a 3.67 GPA taking 21 credits a semester to graduate into the worst economy since the depression. Now I am competing with years worth of graduates for entry level positions that aren’t available. What am I to do? Kill myself because girls who went straight to college got jobs before all this crap? Thanks for the pep talk but I define men by character not hobbies and living quarters

Why the hell should I care about what society or women want? Things are different now. The old social contract between men and women is broken. Now men can redefine masculinity for themselves. Men are reacting to the changing climate. There’s no going back to the way things used to be.

I’ve seen how fathers are removed from families. I’ve experienced first hand how education is set up specifically for female success. I’m not going to be anyone’s wage slave or servent. I’m going my own way. Nobody is entitled to my labour or the fruits of my labour. I don’t owe any woman commitment or money or sperm or anything.

The picture above the article says that men have devolved. But the supposed ideal on the far left is not what I want to be. That man works horrible hours and destroys his health to support a woman. I won’t do that. a woman or a family is not worth that.

A family is now a woman and her children. The father can be removed in an instant. He only exists to have resources extracted from him. Why should I want to hav anything to do with that?

Internalize this. Men do not…

Because Shaun told me he thought the article was “terrific” and asked for reprints.

As as long we’re painting an entire demographic with the same brush, perhaps we should all Google Sandra Hingston and do an image search. It’s unlikely that someone who looks like that would understand the younger male demo, let alone be able to speak to the topic. The fact that Philly Rag made it the lead story? The writing (or lack there of) is on the wall. This is not journalism, nor is really an editorial narrative. It’s a fabricated middle-ground designed to sell rags. Obviously there are tons of ambitious men out there – good men who say and do the right thing – and chances are, they won’t come across this article. If they do, as I have, hopefully they’re dropping this trash mag, as I am.

All-time low for this “publication.”

There are so many over generalizations and sketchy statistics it makes me sick. Femmi Mag is not my cup of tea. Luckily I am a rational responsible 27 year old who makes 70k a year and most of my friends are in the same boat. I must live in an alternate universe. I sure do know some lazy helpless girls though.

Isn’t it funny how male gender roles are bad when boys are growing up. They claim it’s society making them oppressive males, but when they grow up suddenly those gender roles are thrust back at them. This is what “a real man” is. But, after being taught to forgo those roles why would they choose to reclaim them just because women and society now want to force them on them. Feminism told us male gender roles need to be destroyed … now live with the outcome. Boys grow into men, men who don’t need those roles for fulfillment anymore. Game away, enjoy your life, and remember it’s your life so be happy! Let women deal with the society they’ve created.

It’s funny that women can do what they want and choose the life they want, but if a man wants the same he’s a man-child, a boy. Don’t you see the hypocrisy of women defining what it is to be a man while men are told to shut on how women should be women. This article smacks of female entitlement and the selfish view that if men aren’t making women happy they’re not men: No true Scotsman anyone?

Given the evolution of society, men see no point in “the quest to manhood”. Couple that with other ‘rites of passage’ men face with disproportionate risks, many are opting-out.
Instead they are focusing on their own immediate and longterm personal happiness.
