Something is going wrong in American culture and the British culture with a significant number of younger men threatened and resentful about the equality of women. They seem to have lost a sense of their place in the culture, and what it means to be a man. I think it is also important to recognize that much of this is the product of misinformation spewed out by this minority on social media. If the politicians in Congress don’t quit behaving like petulant brats and start behaving like adults whose task is to foster wellbeing the culture crisis that is already tearing both countries apart is going to produce a society unlike anything ever seen before. The solution in the United States is clear to me. Both houses of Congress and the Presidency must be Democratic, and once elected the Democrats must clean up the judiciary, particularly the Supreme Court. That means the people of the country, the voters, must vote only for Democrats in November. Not because they are perfect but, at least, they are trying to foster democracy and social wellbeing. Look at the economy.
Boys and men from generation Z are more likely than older baby boomers to believe that feminism has done more harm than good, according to research that shows a “real risk of fractious division among this coming generation”.

He has talked about hitting and choking women and has said he is “absolutely a misogynist”.
The bestselling author and Canadian academic, Jordan Peterson, is also seen favourably by 32% of 16 to 29-year-old men, compared with 12% among women of the same generation. Peterson speaks up for “demoralised young men” and says Tate offers “forthright aggression” as an alternative to “cringing […]

Feeling emasculated… that’s why they’re getting out their guns! I believe women were seeking more fairness, legally and elsewhere. I’m amazed by the extreme reactions of men. Not all men, obviously. Mainly the Magas and the extreme Christian right, all of whom want to bring back the good old days. I remember reading a female Bible scholar who studied and was very fluent in the ancient languages, Had a doctorate.
