The data is clear, men in the first world are going to be losers for generations to come. Has anything close to this ever happened again? Any fiction around this subject?

>> No.15424467

this will continue until we dispel with the fiction that women are less valued than men in modern society when they are in reality valued far higher and treated far better

>> No.15424489

Women are inherently better at performing most labor required in the post industrial economy, and the efficiency sought after by the power players in our society require that it be altered to better meet the needs of women, even if that comes at the expense of the vast majority of men.

Interesting. From there you could argue that the feminization of modern men is actually just a byproduct of the industrial system trying to make its workers as subservient and docile as possible. perhaps all of this talk of "toxic masculinity" only serves as a cover for the system fostering a slave mentality in the common man. these young boys have no outlet for their masculinity and thus turn to vice and social self-isolation to cope with a system that demands they be subservient.

I wouldn't go that far. I don't think there's any grand conspiracy to try and render men docile. I merely think economic forces encourage men to adopt certain feminine tendencies in order to secure economic advancement. By and large they'll never be as good such behaviors as women, thus requiring that women's advancement is among society's top priorities. As a byproduct it renders much of the population subservient.

It's completely true. In many of today's most important positions, men just literally can't compete.

>> No.15425176

>>15425123
Not remotely true, and that's why there is a pay gap. When men work they still out perform women, not necessarily because women are less competent, but rather because they purposefully avoid taking longer hours, skipping vacation time, and drop out of stressful jobs.

The fall of men I'm talking about has nothing to do with that. It's main causes are the rise in single motherhood, education changing to be anti-male, feminism creating road blocks to fix any of these problems, and the addicting nature of porn and video games. It's totally irrelevant to creating "modern workers" or any nonsense like that.

Couldn’t it be all of these factors working in tandem.

There are literally quotas everywhere for women because they don't perform well enough.

It's a fantasy. Men still do almost all the essential work in society, and the ones who don't do anything complex live efficiently, i.e. use few resources, i.e. "are losers", which would be called "heroically stopping global warming" if the world wasn't viciously sexist toward males and didn't consider them cattle no matter what they do.

>>15424489
This is laughably wrong because above. You just said they're good at sitting around and talking, which is what constitutes most of an 8 hour work day for most white collar female "jobs."

>>15424528
Nearly all of these jobs are non-essential make work nonsense. Removing managers typically hardly impacts efficiency, and the productive output of a company comes from a few low level employees.

If this trend of sexism against males continues, which it looks like it will, then men just really need to start looking at taking care of our own needs and really separating our resources from women entirely.

Men get attacked constantly as a group but have a lot of strong general qualities: they're efficient, technically-minded, easily satisfied, eager to prove themselves, etc. It's unfortunate that males generally sexually repel each other unlike women who seem almost totally secretly bisexual, that's probably the greatest difficulty.

i believe the way to fix men is to adopt a monastic life style.

get away from internet and social media and only work towards yourself. Prioritize your endeavours and make sure to go deep with them. Having something to work towards. This will help them discern meaning and find something in life they want to cultivate.

Men have no role models anymore, and they are addicted to the internet. Those two combined can only lead to a few things. The attractive men will take all, the unattractive will practice solitary, and the middle will become the stepping stones for women while drifting between the two.

Why would I contribute to a society that is outwardly hostile towards me?

Call me a loser if you want, but I'll take doing what I want and being insulted over doing what other people want me to do and still being insulted for it. Men are completely desexualized, socially devalued, and increasingly economically alienated. If you look at university sex ratios its only going to get worse and I've heard for over a decade how women make a whole nickle less for every dollar a man makes but pointing out that most girls pay hundreds of dollars less in rent is sexist and discussion of men's issues that isn't strictly framed as "dismantling the patriarchy" is instantly dismissed as conspiratorial pseudo-fascism.

Just not much point in it all. Obviously sedating yourself with drugs and porn isn't the best way to cope, but what's the alternative? Should I devote all my time to a job and abs so my boss will pat me on the head and women will see me as a sexual being?

Not coincidence, but cause and consequence. Incentives if you will. The reason humans have good hunters is not because of a conspiracy against antilopes, but simply because without being good hunters our ancestors wouldn't have survived.
Case in point, women have been working since prehistory ("the workforce" is a modern industrial take on work, look into any primitive society and you'll see the women work more than the men), but were excluded from certain types of jobs for a good part of the industrial age. Then WWI happened, all the men were busy dying on the front so they had to call in the women to man (pun intended and it's not a pun but a decription, really) the ammo factories. This was the major event that convinced everyone it was worth letting women into factories. Something similar is happening right now, it's not intended, but it's nonetheless inevitable given the structure of our society.
