I read these things with sadness, empathy and something I don't have a word for.
I am puzzled, afraid, selectively withdrawn, loved, confused and blessed. Yep totally fucked up.
My wife is not like this. We fight, we have arguments, we have disagreements, we aren't like the Hollywood picture of the perfect relationship. We have worked side by side in our business almost every day for the past 12 years. We have an autistic son who causes so much stress for us and our other son. There is one glaring difference.
My wife is supportive of me, especially at the worst times in my life. Her family (all women) are also supportive of me. I believe they are this way because of this glaring difference. I see this difference in many of our friends relationships. It's a hard difference to define, it is often completely misunderstood and is often treated in a demeaning and racist way.
My wife of 17 years is Thai. She comes from a family that struggled, struggled the right way.
The Western culture is sick, ill and in desperate need of something to bring it back to being wholesome again. For most Western cultures, we are still a long way from finding that something. Some Nordic countries are there, some of them are getting there, but not us English speaking countries. Why? What is the cause?
I have ideas, but they won't and aren't going to be popular.
Arguing is an integral part of a healthy relationship. That is, arguing that stays on the topic and is not sidetracked by tantrums, tears, the silent treatment or other relationally aggressive methods. Arguing where an agreement can be found and concessions made on both sides. You don't see much of this anymore. it is important to note that there are relationships like yours where there is support, there is disagreement, and both can take part in the problem and the solution. Well done Sir.
I can only speak anecdotally to this, but I'm very puzzled by your comments that "some Nordic countries are there". I have to assume you mean Nordic countries are not gynocentric in the way the article describes?
To which I can only respond with astonishment, as my awareness of the Nordics (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Finland), is that they are STEEPED in gynocentrism. Public policy in those countries has been Feminist-informed for decades. I don't think these are the countries to refer to as an antidote for the repercusssions of anti-male bias described in this article.
"I have ideas, but they won't and aren't going to be popular."
So what? Why care? What is right is not always popular, and what is popular is not always right.
We live in an overly sensitive society where most people are concerned with not offending and most people want to be liked by everyone. People that want to be liked by everyone are weak and pathetic. I remind my boys of this all the time...you should never care what others think of you...it won't always be easy but it will make you stronger.
I have a more old style Asian approach to family and society. One that is based in Buddhism rather than the entitled "we are children of god" Abrahamic faith based culture.
While no system of belief is ever going to be perfect, mostly because we are people, I have watched how my Asian half of my family behave. I have personally and recently witnessed two situations that were dealt with very differently than how us westerners would deal with them. One was the workplace bullying of my son. My son is half Asian and works at an Asian restaurant, he is also level 2 autistic. Two western employees decided to gang up on him and they started bullying my son. The way how the almost all Asian people there, one Slovakian, dealt with this workplace bullying was amazing. No one lost face, no one lost their job, the bullying stopped after one day.
They achieved this by supporting both my son and the two bullies. They also made sure that the bullies knew that their behaviour was not going to be tolerated, not at all. Quite a few weeks after that, no further bullying has occurred and both my son and the boys who were bullying him are still being supported. The guys and the girls all worked together with this. It was amazing to watch, and I'm told that that is standard practice for dealing with bullies.
Bingo! This is what most Western men have done on behalf of women. That era, however, is coming to an end and both men and women are going to face a reckoning and renegotiation of their relations. Men are not going to be door mats any more...and women's "needs" (actually demands) will soon be pretty worthless. Men and those women who grow up and become more fair/equitable will come out stronger and better. Sadly, many women...will be so radicalized in opposition that they will find themselves isolated and marginalized in the long term.
Science seems to have established that testosterone goes up for men whose teams win and down for men whose teams lose. Could the suppression of maleness in the dynamic interplay between the sexes be a major cause of the global decrease in testosterone levels in men, perhaps more, perhaps much more than chemical toxins in the physical environment?
Hi Jack - Good to see you and I think that is possible. Testosterone tells men to do the things that will raise his status and in today's crazy world, that often means acting more like a woman. This would require a lowering of T I would guess.
God. I have maintained a journal for literally fifty years, and this blog post could have been a direct passage.
After twenty-six years of marriage, I filed for divorce. The trigger was in large part a conversation with the dying friend of an older brother. "You know, my wife and I hate each other, but we agreed that our lifestyle would take a hit if we divorced, so we decided to just stay in the same house; she mostly in her part, I in mine. Now I'm dying, having lived in misery for decades, and there is nothing I can do about it."
That conversation really shook me up. I had tried mightily to gain perspective and "fix" my marriage, but was never able to do it. I drove several friends crazy, I'm sure, as I tried - and failed - different strategies to connect with my spouse, but looking back now on journal entries from that period, I finally have the perspective I desperately wanted then.
As I read those journal entries, I don't recognize that man. Decades of living together had turned me into another person. Yes, divorce was incredibly damaging to my two sons, but it had to happen. Had to. Now, looking back from the perspective of my dotage, if I could offer one piece of advice, it would be: choose your spouse oh-so-very-carefully.
Indeed. Choose wisely and use some red pill inspired shit tests to see how things might work out. eg Say no, and see how she responds. Does she start to ask questions about this? To seek a reasonable alternative? Does she throw a fit? Storm off? Is there compromise? Concern for your side of things? I should probably post the Red Pill Relationships video that Paul and I did that talks about using shit tests....
Absolutely. I'd like to see them. My second divorce involved a gold-digger whose goal in life was to "sod" me (That's Hillbilly for bury), kick my two sons to the curb, and bestow everything on her four from a prior marriage. How do I know? Several of her estranged friends later told me she had been very open about it. Since there was a reasonably large amount of assets at stake (that I earned before I met her), the divorce took about four years, during which I had plenty of time to watch YouTube and get my eyes opened. Wow, did I get them opened....
In any event, I had no idea about "shit tests" and dozens of other things: red flags, social media, body count - none of it. I sure do now. If I were in my twenties I'd hop on the next plane to Manila. (North America and Western Europe need not apply).
*******************
Western women seem genuinely baffled by why men won't wife them up, but it's best explained by a little Clinton joke:
President Clinton is out for his morning run with the Secret Service and stops by a little boy with a box of puppies. "What kind of puppies are those, Son?"
"They're Democrat puppies, Sir," he replies.
"Good boy." And he continues on his run. Three weeks later, with a new entourage, he passes the same boy with the same box of puppies. Wanting to impress others running with him, he asks the same question.
"They're Republican puppies, Sir," comes the reply.
"But three weeks ago you said they were Democrats!"
"Yes sir, but that was before they had their eyes open."
Well, in the husband game, I'm a dog, all right - old, loyal, and faithful. But now, believe me, I'm a Very Republican dog.
Every time I read or hear about so-called behaviours such as these, I am reminded that it's just anecdotal and in modern Western societies—tribal.
I'm not saying that now I recognise them, I'm above anyone in the ego stakes, but I can no longer stay quiet about the aforementioned tribal fake virtuous double standard of female behaviours in and out of relationships.
I'd guess this is probably one of the main reasons for the downfall of modern relationships, and I strongly suspect its intention is to topple countries. What starts out as societal brainwashing, if we play it out to the inevitable conclusion, results in total male subjugation by toxic societal tribal doctrines—gynocentrism.
I'm reminded once again of the Paul Harvey radio speech, If I were the Devil
It is all indoctrinated by society and tribalist females. A current example would be the UK government pushing a TV Series Adolescence to be shown in schools!? It's insane but also very revealing. The powers that be are scared of boys becoming men. Why? It's the only tangible opposition to elitist world domination and, given the past 5+ decades, I don't think I'm overstating that.
Feminism didn't just program women to be gynocentric, it programmed men to be gynocentric as well. When you grow up with it all around you like I did, it seems normal; we are like fish in the gynocentric water and can't see any thing else. Thank god, and "unreasonable men" like Tom, that so many men are waking up and then standing up. I know it took me a long time to really grasp what was happening. Men are not suffering from a shame deficit. I think the reason so many men are choosing not to be in relationships is because they don't want a relationship that centers around her feelings/needs (i.e. it's gynocentric). I do believe we are witnessing now the early stages of feminism collapsing; it can't survive without men's participation, and so many are refusing to participate.
While milquetoast Evan was meditating on his own insensivity Laura announced she wanted a divorce. She had met a "real man." To hell with this weak sister! Sacrificing even her their children on her altar of lust. She did not care that she would sideline her own children. That this stud she was running off with may sexually abuse one or more of her children. Evan could get jailed if he took serious steps to protect his paternal rights while these children suffered ruined lives, and be several times more likely to fail in adult life. Risks would multiply that they would end up homeless, in jail, on drugs, even suicided.
Well said Michael. Crystalized my thoughts. Milquetoast Even was now totally "undesireable". Happens almost every... single... time. Moral of the story? Quit trying to make sure your wife is happy and ask her "why are you such a pain in the ass??".
Don't forget that the socialization of boys in the west has for some decades now been knee-jerk feminism. I witness this in my nephews first-hand. It's asking a lot (almost impossible I'd say) to expect young men to realize an alternative to the gynocentric standard order.
Also, girls and women have been propped up in this and are running with the power vested in them. Remember too, that "domestic violence" has been inflated byond recognition to include "emotional abuse", "financial abuse" and "coercive control". How do you win with this stuff?.
I'm sure there are exceptions, as I also expect that there are jurisdictions where things are not quite so bad (maybe Eastern Europe? I don't know). I live in a country, and a region of that country where things are very stacked in opposition to men - officially and unofficially.
'...he assumed women’s distress carried moral weight while men’s distress required explanation. How often he treated female discomfort as an emergency and male discomfort as a character flaw.'
i recognize my father. The old man was always in the background. Never raised any demands. Never complained. He did his job, endured criticism. My mother in contrast is still annoying, difficult, never wrong and has her expectations.
Well done, once again Tom. I keep wondering why we are so often set against each other. Man and woman. How can anyone dispute that we are different, and that we need each other? Those who would argue otherwise are not to be trusted.
Excellent piece. Whenever I read material like this I think of those images from the Great War where women are handing men white feathers. Because women are always prepared to tell a man what a man is and should do. Often involving shaming.
There are so many men I know who live this life of sad resignation and quiet desperation. Happy wife, happy life was something they all believed to be a mantra to live by.
You see this same behavior in action on tv shows where couples are house hunting- without exception, the men always place the wife or girlfriend's wants and needs ahead of their own and the tv host will often laugh and say "Joe knows he'll get what for if he doesn't let Mary have her dream home! Everybody laughs and they move on.
I have often said imagine the roles were reversed and a submissive woman said-"Whatever Joe wants I'll be happy". There would be tension and an undercurrent suggesting the wife was being controlled and emotionally abused by her dominant husband. But it never happens so we can't test my theory.
Sticking with my house hunting theme, the women often say- "This will be my room for x y and z- you can have the shed outside for your hobby, Joe!" Cue the laughter and move on.
The wife starts crying when entering a house- "This is the one, Joe! Oh, I just love it!" The deal is done. The husband is never going to say "No way- it's too small" or "Where will I store my motorbikes" She wants it and she knows she will get it. The tears simply seal the deal more quickly.
On the rare occasion when a man stands his ground in opposition to his wife's opinion, he is invariably branded stubborn or selfish by the voice over narrator.
These tv shows reveal so much about the modern-day gender interaction and expectations.
I am married to the most beautiful woman on our planet. She is gorgeous to look at and adored and respected by my mates. She has never played manipulative games or expected anything from me other than my love and companionship. I lost my leg due to bone cancer 33 years ago. She immediately got a full time job and began hauling our heavy wheelie bins down our long driveway to the street kerb.
She still drags those heavy bins down the driveway every Tuesday night no matter how often I protest. She simply says, "No love, it's much easier for me to do it." I cannot begin to express how deep my love for this woman is. I could cite one hundred more examples of her love and selflessness. She loves men in general. She says she finds men more honest, kind and less self centred.
I say this because many assume I have had issues with women in my life. I used to write for A Voice For Men and most of the writers there had suffered a terrible injustice at the hands of a woman. I never have. But I can see what has been happening to my fellow man for decades now and it makes my blood boil.
Thanks for your tireless and thankless efforts to advocate for men. Tom. Men are indeed good. My wife aside, most of the genuinely heartfelt moments of kindness and compassion have come from men in my life.
Hi Mark - Yes indeed, there are good women in the world. It seems they are fewer in number these days with all of the brainwashing and constant inflation of the female ego. I have also had a very loving relationship and I am very grateful.
There comes a point where a man realizes it's better to walk in the desert than live with an angry woman.
Women have to really smack his wife goggles off. To go over the top for years. An intersectional betrayal expunging his liberty, property etc.
But once done the trust is affirmed that she'll behave this way all the time.
A quarter of women are mentally ill I read. A third are child killers. A third have an STD. It doesn't have to be like this. The serpent chooses Eve not Adam and there's a reason.
Women en mass are not reasonable in the sense of a reasonable man. They reject objectivity and systematic thinking.
"The serpent chooses Eve not Adam and there's a reason." Yes. Janice, Hannah and myself will be interviewing Carrie Gress this coming week about her new book "Something Wicked." Should be interesting.
"For the first time, Evan wondered what fairness would look like if it included him." Wow!
I read these things with sadness, empathy and something I don't have a word for.
I am puzzled, afraid, selectively withdrawn, loved, confused and blessed. Yep totally fucked up.

I was actually talking about Norway. Their government has realised the importance of having a much more balanced approach to men's and women's rights.
"I have ideas, but they won't and aren't going to be popular."
So what? Why care? What is right is not always popular, and what is popular is not always right.

This is a wonderful piece. What makes me sad is that (almost) no woman will take it seriously.
For honesty, I have to add that also most men won't take it seriously, which is even sadder.
Very good points. Thank you.

As usual, another well-written and highly relevant article, Tom, thank you!🙏💙
Indeed. Feminism has weaponized gynocentrism and turned it against men and everyone calls it equality.
and so many men don't even question it...
by that I mean.. they accept it as alright...
It is all indoctrinated by society and tribalist females. A current example would be the UK government pushing a TV Series Adolescence to be shown in schools!? It's insane but also very revealing. The powers that be are scared of boys becoming men. Why? It's the only tangible opposition to elitist world domination and, given the past 5+ decades, I don't think I'm overstating that.

Had Adam given Eve a good spanking we wouldn't be in this mess!
Where to start? Evan made so many mistakes, starting at the beginning with...
"Evan instinctively deferred. Laura had stronger feelings, clearer opinions."
Women want a leader, not a follower. He failed her test so she continued to treat him like sh!t.
Don't forget that the socialization of boys in the west has for some decades now been knee-jerk feminism. I witness this in my nephews first-hand. It's asking a lot (almost impossible I'd say) to expect young men to realize an alternative to the gynocentric standard order.

Excellent piece. Whenever I read material like this I think of those images from the Great War where women are handing men white feathers. Because women are always prepared to tell a man what a man is and should do. Often involving shaming.
Yes, very true. "Should" is the key word and when men hear that they need to be on guard for incoming gynocentrism.
There are so many men I know who live this life of sad resignation and quiet desperation. Happy wife, happy life was something they all believed to be a mantra to live by.

Oh yes, pls keep up the cutting edge content, we're surfacing age old ideas, it won't be a thought crime for long.
