Excellent write-up. This, however, is innocent naivety: "A handful of women’s studies professors even cross over". Any woman intelligent and free-thinking enough to "cross over" would never have begun to teach women's studies to begin with. It's the proverbial Underwater Basket Weaving professorship that requires no meaningful abilities or standards. They will always attack boys and men, they will always lie--it's all they know how to do. Think about it. What would these "teachers" do if WS classes vanished? There's no way they could make anything remotely close to what they made before. They'll fight hair, tooth, and nail for their hate-based industry.
Exactly, the whole point of feminism is to allow individual women to rise above the merits of their personality and talent. They don't want equality or equal opportunity because that is a game in which they will lose and they know it. These are the women who complain about imposter syndrome because....they ARE imposters in whatever endeavor is in question.
I agree with much, but I do think it's probably more productive to focus on “feminism” than “women”. That's the mind virus at the center of most current issues (in the USA, at any rate).
True...but many of the problems with feminism are actually pretty standard traits of women when they are not held in check by social conventions so it is fair to refer to them honestly.
This brings to mind an interesting tangent. Since each sex has it's respective positive and negative tendencies, the goal of a society should be to build institutions and support lifestyles and philosophies that maximize our positive traits and minimize our negative ones. In this case, feminism is a philosophy that's maximizing negative traits, and women's studies classes are an institution supporting the same.
Exactly, the worst traits of men have long been restrained by society despite the whining one hears from feminists. The modern feminist is essentially the feral female equivalent of the Sharia law peddling Islamist feral male.
The human condition tends to change, for better or worse, through destruction and creation: chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://www.coljohnboyd.com/static/documents/1976-09-03__Boyd_John_R__Destruction_and_Creation.pdf. In addition, given that women are members of Paglia's Sex of Nature and Chaos...it's vanishingly unlikely that feminist women will tame their shrews them-sexes. That means that we will probably have to give up our wishful thinking, empower ourselves in their realm as they already did in ours, and go to war...(hopefully with a lot more HOLISTIC humanity than they did) and demand the honor, respect, love, and sex that we deserve as the Sex that carries the world's most dangerous, dirty, and uncomfortable work for them. That will not be easy (other than for homosexuals) because we have always been competing with/killing one another to secure access to the world's most priceless but inherited 'asset' which they hold between their legs. It will be even harder because we gave away the keys to our Kingdom many decades ago for free....similar to how Tricky Dick and Henry gave the Communist Chinese the keys to the U.S. Kingdom on the faulty premise that mere money would induce the murderous totalitarian Chinese Commie regime to become kinder and sweeter to us. We are our own worst enemies in many cases. Therefore, it's gonna take a huge effort on our part to wake up, to empower ourselves and to take our power/keys back because unlike us, women will never give their keys to us for free or give us our keys back short of being forced to do so.
Part on any really Utopian vision must also be to ensure that women pay the price for their favorite form of violence (lying) just as we already do for our favorite forms. For instance, were there any patriarchal principles left in academe, we wouldn't be even talking about Women's Studies because the discipline would have been thrown out of all respectable colleges many decades ago. But there again, we welcomed them in as patriarchal powers and now are forced to enjoy the matriarchal monstrosities that they brought into our institutions...and now we hope that they will be nicer to us all by themselves. Not gonna happen. We will have to do the difficult work to turn things around after failing to do so for so long.
It's heartening when high-profile economists like Brandon Smith get male issues.
I liked this quote:
Lazy, Apathetic, Angry And Dangerous To Society
Social media is rife with this disinformation claim – Often perpetuated by female influencers, they assert that young men are no longer engaging with modern women and he liberal order because they are “porn addicted”, lack motivation and have no direction. They say that young males have abandoned society and that this makes them volatile and prone to unpredictable violence.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Young men are simply building their own separate society which preserves western values and protects their heritage from the ravages of deconstructionists. Feminists and establishment shills are worried about men walking away because then they can’t exploit those men for their labor and resources anymore. By extension, when men separate from the liberal herd, they have greater independence and a greater potential to rebel.
I would argue that the “incel” narrative widely promoted in the past decade by the political left has nothing to do with sincere concerns about the mental health of young men. Rather, it’s all about controlling those men before they go rogue against the establishment.
How strange, I think I posted a similar theory on one of Tom's other posts. It's the only logical conclusion you can come to given the state of current social and unchanged anti-male anti-family policies. Mostly I blame the law cottage industries but it primarily lies with legislators ignoring their duty to remove or change legislation after it has been enacted if it doesn't serve the populace. If I was an elite I'd know the only demographic that can dethrone me is young boys growing up to be men. That's a strong article💙
Thank you, Tom, for this visionary--almost utopian--message at the close of 2025 and therefore the approach to a new year. It will surely be better than the last one, right?
You write that in the near future (a year, perhaps, but more likely a decade), "The great unspoken epidemic of male despair finally becomes speakable." I get your point. For the record, though, male despair has not exactly been unspoken. Division 51 of the American Psychological Association has acknowledged it officially. Trouble is, most people--and not only professional psychologists--blame men for their own despair (a supposedly therapeutic device that they would never inflict on women). Only by becoming more like women, in short, can men recover from masculinity (which is itself, presumably, created by men in order to subjugate women). They say little, perhaps fortunately, about maleness (which they consider a "social construct").
Ironically, moreover, feminists have spoken about men relentlessly and implacably for more than half a century. Men are central to feminist ideology, not peripheral. There could be no such thing as feminism, in fact, without men to blame as the source of all evil and suffering. And that's true even of the brief feminist flirtation with egalitarianism during the 1960s. Feminists wanted sexual equality for women in the first place, after all, because they assumed that only women lacked it (never mind that only young men were being drafted for combat in Vietnam).
History notwithstanding, I applaud your consistent optimism. Where would we be without that? At the age of 78, I still hope to see at least the first signs of reconciliation.
Thanks Paul. Totally agree that men's problems are getting more air time and that they are mostly blaming men for their situations. I have an article coming out next monday that is about just that.
But remember, Frank, that this mentality has been common throughout history. Feminists did not invent it, and women do not succumb to it more often or more easily than men do. Philosophers call it “dualism,” not one ideology or religion but any worldview in which “we” are innately good and “they” innately evil (which no moral sense, because moral agency requires the ability to make moral choices). The names of targets to be destroyed “by any means necessary” keep changing, as you say, but the mentality remains deeply embedded in human nature as a possibility. Even the biblical tradition reveals a continuing attraction to dualism but also, unlike some cultures, a continuing struggle against it. Consider the biblical prophets, who understood that the source of evil was not only “out there” in their Babylonian or Assyrian enemies but also “in here” within themselves. We are not doomed by dualism, but we must recognize it in order to avoid it. For decades, dualism has thrived on the far Left as a feature not only of feminist ideology but also of every closely allied woke ideology. Moreover, it now thrives on the far Right as well.
One way to handle this dualism is to create distinctions between people and their chosen behaviors. All of us are an amalgam of the beautiful, the good, the bad, ugly and the evil behaviors we choose over time...and no one is completely humanistic or completely animalistics. However, one can be pretty sure that murder, rape, terrorism, torture, child abuse, child sexual abuse, feminine collective totalitarianism, and/or masculine Strong Man fascism etc etc fall on the ugly and evil side of the behavioral spectrum regardless of who is doing them.
What a great hopeful honest post Tom, thank you!🙏 Remember, these posts also give hope a much-needed glimmer in these anti-male times!💙If any of those great suggestions are implemented it would be progress.
I'd also like to add to the hopefulness by stating that there are also at any one point in time an innumerable amount of people we never hear from or rarely see on social media that are in fact pushing the rights of men and boys. I know and support two other PhD students both doing great work in the academic space on male experiences of stalking and female perpetrator programmes, neurodiversity and family court, suicide etc. Very important work and that's just at my university in my cohort.
I also see glimmers of hope in social posts. I suspect Trump's son Barron has realised this and it clearly helped his father win a second term. Let's hope his father wakes up and assists. There are several MPs or ex-MPs in the UK also espousing about men and boys. So even though we see an increase in the ridiculousness of targeting boys for fake misogyny I suspect it will ultimately do the opposite and force an increasing amount of people to wake up from the brainwashing🤞
Thanks Stephen. I saw some research yesterday that surprised me. It showed that men were nearly half of those who had been stalked. Of course the write up was mostly about women and women as victims but the stats showed clearly that the incidence was pretty equal. I wonder if your friends may have been involved in that? I should probably write that one up?
The person I'm thinking of won't be publishing anything anytime soon they've just started their PhD project. They may have in their post-grad, I'll ask!
It's hard to take time to publish other articles as our time is mostly taken with research or life events! I'd love for more academic research for boys and men specifically to be published and talked about I'm just not sure how to.
As I said, even just in my cohort there doesn't seem to be any female-only or feminist research going on so, as you rightly point out, it is a strange time. Maybe it's the turn of the tide?🤞
In the UK the British Crime Survey (done for the ONS Office of National Statistics) The statistics are 1200000 women and 900000 men have experienced at least one incidence of Harassment through Stalking in their lives. The BCS is used to work out the actual level of crime in the UK. Because of course the rates of actual reporting to the police and then being prosecuted tend to reflect other issues and campaigns. For most crimes of all sorts gross underreporting is the norm. For stalking the known reasons for male underreporting are the same as for domestic abuse; Men tend to think of the behaviours as not a "crime" if directed at them. they expect to "deal with it" themselves, all public information treats it as only affecting females as victims and government "strategies" direct public services only to support women "victims". Even though there have been highly publicised cases of male victims (eg Harry Stiles).
I could tell you in 2020 That Trump 'd elected last year.
Predictions are easy for someone who studied "Victimhoods" in history.
ALL "victimisms" ended badly. They are doomed to Histoy ' s dustbins.
when a cunny politician invent them to get power and profits.
The mecanism is aways the same: you select a neady social group and call it "Victims "/ another of welloff' s ones as "predators" that will pay for "victims rewards. Next you spread the news:
IF you get Me in power by elections or in fights, victims will get rewards.
You'll get dreadfull troubles, million deaths and miserable persons during half a century before credulous persons admit they were dupes.
There are plenty of "Victimhoods" in History : 3 revolutions + Nazism + Peronism +Spanish War + Feminsm ...
Each one is more costly in human lives and destructions. If you include abortions, suicides, mental illnesses Feminism is the worst !
It is high time, that Men and Women unite everywhere in the world to stop a new " Victimhood"
Any politician spreading a similar Theory should be declared a dangerous person, outlawed and punished.
2026 could be the starting point of a new era !
But we should not rejoyce too early : "Victimisms" are destructive and difficult to cure .
2026 could be a great year for men and boys rights.
But we must not rejoice too early.
The so called "progressive politicians" will do their best to block any men' s progresses towards parental equity. As long as they can get a penny out of feminism
If you read Michael Phillips : "Is 2026, the year for family reform ?" and the comment from Bruce Eden, men must go on fighting !
Just another economical fact for our case.
The staggering US debt due to feminism .
For 200 years The US nation had a stable, improving economy with a small debt (about $ 4000 millions)
In 1971, Pt Nixon ended "Gold Exchanged Standard ." and introduced Globalization with Chinese communist leaders.
In 54 years (1971 /2025) The Us Debt increased 8 times.
Your vision comes across almost as a prayer. Unfortunately, it hasn't a prayer of coming true in this form for one simple reason. Women are the problem and too many, dare I say a majority, do not want equality or to fix the problem but want to maintain female superiority. While compassion for men is NOT a zero sum game, the ability to abuse power over others is and feminists have no intention of giving that power up. We need to be realistic about this and act accordingly if some version of this vision is ever to come to pass.
We have gotten ourselves into quite a mess by flooding women with propaganda that inflates them to such a degree that things fall apart. Let's hope we find a way out.
I love your vision Tom! It will happen. I just hope it's in my lifetime. I'm cautiously optimistic considering the recent mainstream articles that have gone viral. The work that you and so many others have done are helping us move in that direction. A drop of water, with enough time can erode mountains.
Thank you, Tom. I think this is truly inspirational thinking!
I used to despair that attitudes towards men would never change. And then I remembered how attitudes towards Blacks and other minorities evolved over the past 100 years. Change is possible.
So good Tom, really needed. This taps into the deep vein of hope, that next year will be much better than this... We need hope to sustain the efforts for positive change.
Tom, really a thoughtful and insightful editorial. thanks! I agree with your use of the word "feminism." The term refers to a constricting, cult-like ideology.
Brilliant write up Tom. This isn’t just about men, it’s about the health of the whole family and society. The shift from 'accusation to understanding' is exactly the path forward we need in 2026!
This is very interesting https://ofboysandmen.substack.com/p/look-to-norway? The report itself is full of data and makes important points about the differences between men. Particularly that the fact some men are at the top of social hierarchies this doesn't mean other men are privileged at all. As with much produced in Scandinavia the report and information is available in English. If nothing else the data rich report is a resource where in other countries (such as the UK) there is a tendency to ignore if not suppress data on sex or gender if it isn't female focussed. A summary is here https://www.norway.no/contentassets/af7c3cd53b7542b59571406c15a26c0b/mens-equality-commission-report---executive-summary.pdf
Of course the overall context is within the feminist agenda familiar across Scandinavia however it is a resource for data and a reference point for those still trying to get Government (as here in the UK) to recognise that their are men's issues at all! https://mannsutvalget.no/information-in-english/
And of course given the left elite in Western Europe, which control our major institutions, are still enamored of the so called "Scandinavian Model" it is a useful resource to quote. In much the same was as our Labour Home Secretary is visibly relieved she can refer to Denmark and Danish policies on controlling immigration to persuade her own Party to support controls.

Interesting idea about the perennial failure of victimhood. So sad to see that victimhood is giving people social credentials. What a mess.
Thanks for your comment Tom
2026 could be a great year for men and boys rights.

The so called "progressive politicians" will do their best to block any men' s progresses towards parental equity. As long as they can get a penny out of feminism

Agreed. It is hard to pop the ego of those who believe they ARE the Goddess incarnate and return them to the mortal world.
I love your vision Tom! It will happen. I just hope it's in my lifetime. I'm cautiously optimistic considering the recent mainstream articles that have gone viral.

Hope and guts. Hopefully men will start acting like men and start saying NO.
Tom, really a thoughtful and insightful editorial. thanks! I agree with your use of the word "feminism." The term refers to a constricting, cult-like ideology.
Brilliant write up Tom. This isn’t just about men, it’s about the health of the whole family and society. The shift from 'accusation to understanding' is exactly the path forward we need in 2026!
This is very interesting https://ofboysandmen.substack.com/p/look-to-norway? The report itself is full of data and makes important points about the differences between men. Particularly that the fact some men are at the top of social hierarchies this doesn't mean other men are privileged at all. As with much produced in Scandinavia the report and information is available in English. If nothing else the data rich report is a resource where in other countries (such as the UK) there is a tendency to ignore if not suppress data on sex or gender if it isn't female focussed. A summary is here https://www.norway.no/contentassets/af7c3cd53b7542b59571406c15a26c0b/mens-equality-commission-report---executive-summary.pdf
Of course the overall context is within the feminist agenda familiar across Scandinavia however it is a resource for data and a reference point for those still trying to get Government (as here in the UK) to recognise that their are men's issues at all! https://mannsutvalget.no/information-in-english/
And of course given the left elite in Western Europe, which control our major institutions, are still enamored of the so called "Scandinavian Model" it is a useful resource to quote. In much the same was as our Labour Home Secretary is visibly relieved she can refer to Denmark and Danish policies on controlling immigration to persuade her own Party to support controls.
Happy New Year Tom Golden.
