No, Tom, they haven't "forgotten" about men at all. One can't exclude a single demographic across the board, as they have, without an acute awareness of them.

If anything the truly "forgotten" group are boys.

Well, I suppose you are correct. They have not forgotten men when it comes to taxes and fighting wars.

It should be noted that feminist excesses of this type ultimately harm the women who use them. In this case...a couple of the students who cheated complained to the Dean who made me give the students a "test" of their knowledge where they would still be allowed to pass no matter how they performed. The test revealed who had cheated off whom.

Several years later, the student who had been the recipient of the cheating approached me in an off campus venue. She began by apologizing and admitting that she had cheated. She said it came back to bite her when 1 year later after student cheating her first job was to teach 3 grade levels in my subject area. She said she cried every night after being up until midnight trying to learn on the fly what she should have learned in my class. She said she realized now I was actually trying to help students like her be ready for what was to come. While I was happy for the story, she really needed to tell it to the idiotic Dean who undermined me to help the "poor women".

Great story. Was the dean a woman?

No....but he had been a faculty member who allowed himself to be manipulated into hiring women and allowing them to bully men in the department, ultimately costing me my job. In short: when the Dean was a faculty member a local woman attended the college as a student. After completing her PhD in a nearby university she applied for a job in the chemistry department over which he was now Dean. Despite not being in the search short list developed by the department faculty, the Dean insisted she be interviewed and gave her the position. Once in place she used her "relationship" with the Dean to bully other faculty. 2 chemists left midyear after my hiring. With them gone, this woman turned her bullying on me. I was still a faculty member when she went up for tenure. I put in the tenure report all faculty are required to provide my arguments for why she should NOT get tenure (specifically her abuse of others supported by her inappropriate relationship with the Dean). I even stated in the report that I knew my honesty on this issue would guarantee that I would never get tenure which of course it did when I was non-renewed. If other faculty had had the courage to speak the truth, the bullying might have stopped but all the tenured faculty were too intimidated by the Dean to say the truth. The woman faculty member then switched her bullying to another young male faculty member. She had poisoned the well over the next few years such that he would not get tenure. Fortunatley a copy of my report from her tenure file was leaked to the young faculty member and his attorney and suddenly the challenge to his tenure went away. He is now a full professor while the tenured woman remains stuck at associate both under a new Dean. My career of course was never made right.

For clarification...when I say inappropriate relationship with the Dean...I mean exactly what you are thinking. This same woman, despite having 3 children of her own, had affair with another male faculty member in the department who had 6 children. They were so open about it that students thought they were a married couple and custodial staff were afraid to enter their offices/lab space to do their job unless I could confirm they had left the building because they were afraid of what they might find upon opening the door.

When one considers the various members of congress that are definitely cringeworthy in terms of sexist, racist and antisemitic statements, who comes to mind:

Nancy Mace, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, Jasmine Crockett

What trait do these members all share? They are "strong" women.

Agreed. I remember Nancy Mace grilling some men in Congress at a hearing once. I can't remember what it was about, but I remember her tearing into the men she was grilling, saying, "I am not going to let a MAN tell me about......." She used the word "man" like it was a dirty word. Conservative women are often just as bad as liberal women.

She was talking about bathroom use if I recall. Can you imagine, if a male member of congress speaking on say.....false accusers and abuses of Title IX saying, "I am not going to let a WOMAN tell me about false accusers?"

women are never told to control their power or to act responsibly. Also women have issues in discerning power from tyrannical behavior (seee.e.g. women falling in love with the bad guys). They envy strong men and believe this would be same as tyranny. Feminism itself is the accusation that men rule by tyranny. Therefore some feminists act like tyrants in accordance with their projection in the believe this was strength.

Very true...though I would argue that the impulse for tyrannical abuse of power seems to be in the very nature of women. I see this in the large number of elementary education majors I teach (mostly women) where the ability to have power over others, in this case children, seems to be a big motivating factor in their choice of major. Interestingly, they also use very feminist behaviors to try to bully their way through my courses often playing "victim" to explain why their work is not done or claiming to be the "victim" when caught cheating because it was my fault for giving them too much work. Given that the course has to prepare them for licensure I don't have a lot of choice in the content that I need to cover and I tell them this on day 1 so they know what they are getting in to.

So they have a hard time being accountable. Sounds like a trend...

Thanks for your perspective on this.

Tom,

Do you think gynocentrism is an evolved bias to keep women safe and provisioned, as the weaker and more vulnerable sex, especially when pregnant and caring for infants? Is this bias a natural impulse taken advantage of or exaggerated in modern society? How much should it be resisted if it is an aspect of species advantage that has taken us this far?

Genuine question.

Dan

Good question. I think that's a good part of it. Conservative men in Congress were the staunchest opponents of requiring women to register for the military draft.

My thinking is that getting DOGE involved to cut the funding of femicentric programs is now the way to go. I saw that a federal women's health website has already been taken down. I will write to DOGE to ask them to defund VAWA, which in turn would defund VAWA's ability to fund women-only domestic violence shelters, etc.

I encourage you to join me in these efforts. The email address for the Congressional DOGE caucus is doge@mail.house.gov.

Let's not forget about the circumcision violent male genital mutilation child sexual abuse solely perpetrated upon boys for a hundred years in the so called land of "freedom and liberty" USA, so much freedom yet men don't own their own cocks.

Not to mention all of the disgusting and debased cruel jokes about circumcision and the shaming of foreskin in crappy Hollywood garbage films and banal sitcoms.

Men don't have basic genital integrity and body autonomy for a century in a land where people see themselves as world leaders and the most moral and ethical! Such evil misandrist hypocrisy.

Women talk about my body my choice, and society is blind to the routine sexual mutilation and fight flight freeze trauma that is perpetrated upon baby boys.

Also, women have optional motherhood, but fatherhood is forced and at the mercy of the woman and the state. Men don't have reproductive rights either.

Then there's the male only draft, but I digress.

Circumcision is violent blade rape.

Europe, Japan, the majority of the world - knows better.

That's actual rape culture.

Foregen is a biotech company raising money for the final phase 3 of 3 human trials on GoFundMe.

They are regenerating foreskins through regenerative medicine to reverse circumcision mutilation.

They've already had successful phase 2 animal trials and have received millions on donations.

They're almost ready to be public.

Over 6500+ species of mammals have foreskins, it is not a mistake.

It has the majority of nerve endings and sensitivity of the penis. More pleasure, lubrication, less excessive friction WHICH ACTUALLY REDUCES DISEASE TRANSMISSION! YES, YOU HEARD THAT RIGHT. CIRCUMCISION=MORE FRICTION=MORE MICRO CUTS AND ABRASIONS=MORE HIV TRANSMISSION AND STDs - look it up.

European medical associations know how disgusting and crippling circumcision is.

Iceland almost banned circumcision but the selfish ADL and the USA pressured them not to. They will vote in a few years again to try to ban it again.

I hope they do.

Any culture that circumcises is not ethical or modern, but they are child sexual abusers and traumatizers.

No argument about it.

Also, they sell baby boy foreskin cells online as HFF, neonatal human foreskin fibroblasts, for $500 a vial in Sigma Aldrich and other biotech firms.

Circumcision and foreskin is a billion dollar industry.

Cosmetic companies can test their product on foreskin fibroblasts and then say they are CRUELTY FREE on their packaging! Why! Because they didn't test on the precious animals! Animals that are cared for more than human baby boys.

If you care about boys, say something.

Tom, do you remember the charming lesbian fire fighter who wouldn't save men from fires because they would be at the wrong place and time?

Maybe you can shed some light on this and the statistics on DV/IPV between hetero and lesbians?
