Who is a noted MEN’S RIGHTS ACTIVIST. Who doesn’t want women to work outside the home at all.
No matter how much work of what type women do, they are going to get told that it isn’t real work, because real work is what men do. I hear what he’s feeling – he feels useless, he feels like his role has changed and nobody told him, he feels like that uselessness has to be somebody’s fault, the fault is society allowing women to work outside the home. What his emotions are doing to him is pretty ghastly. Too bad all the crap about women working that bothers him so much is a consequence and outgrowth of where feminism met the needs of the permanent war economy and of capitalism, and he’d rather hack his feet off and eat them than critique that. He’s not rational, and nobody in their right ****ing mind should even think about trying to refute him, because he’s too emotional. It’s a free country and he can say whatever he likes, but don’t waste a calorie on thinking about him; he’s the ineffectual and drunken uncle at the family reunion who wants attention for his divorce story and surrounds himself with the guys who don’t question him, and I’d rather party with the cool shiny haired dyke and her new wife, the guy who’s training to be a doula, and the spectrum kid who’s helping me learn to crochet, all of whom are better exemplars of humanity. Murmur ‘sh*tplatter’ and pass on. And yes, Jim, I totally agree that men need their own space. Men who don’t get the support and socialization of other sympatico men suffer, and many are too stoic to complain.
