What no one mentions about the bear hypothesis
This actually provides we here in the Post-Industrial US immense cause for celebration. All of our lives(Regardless of gender)are so cushy, we have the luxury of devoting days and weeks to mulling over extremely far fetched hypothetical, the likes of which no one who isn’t living in rural Alaska will likely encounter
Does The Men's Rights Movement Have A Future?
Inspired by this essay https://scholarworks.calstate.edu/downloads/d504rr026 [https://scholarworks.calstate.edu/downloads/d504rr026] The parallels between the contemporary MRM and Environmentalism are striking, and elucidated sharply in the writings of dissidents within The Green Movement, similar to those expressed in the link above. Just a few parallels Quote: “There is a paradox at the heart of contemporary American environ- mentalism. On the one hand, its organizations are generally larger, stronger, bet- ter funded, and more knowledgeable than ever before. Membership has grown in recent years; there are now more than eight million dues- paying members of the major national organi- zations—and many more in local and statewide organizations—compared to about two million in 1980. Moreover, polls consistently show very high levels of public support for environmen- tal protection, levels that would be the envy of many progressive movements.” In a similar fashion, “men’s issues” have, in a sense never enjoyed the sort of exposure that they enjoy today. While MRA organizations aren’t necessarily larger and stronger than they were in the past, more of them exist than was the case at the beginning of the 2010s, especially at the local and state level. Similarly, polls consistently show that public support for initiatives like shared parenting legislation, criminal justice reform, and restoring due process on university campuses is high “And yet: environmentalists find themselves playing defense far more than offense, devoting time and resources to fighting proposals such as drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, rather than forging new responses to crises such as climate change. Indeed, noth- ing that these large and expert organizations accomplished during the Clinton-Gore years— to say nothing of the present Bush years—com- pares to such landmark victories as the Na- tional Environmental Policy Act, the Clean Water Act, and the Endangered Species Act, which a much more inchoate movement won a generation ago.” We here at The MRM have similarly been playing defense more than offense since this iteration of the movement began in the mid-10s. During the movement’s heyday between '15 and '19, our activity was mostly confined to Triggering The Libs on social media, and issuing rebuttals to things like The Gillete Ad and Brie Larson’s comments( https://variety.com/video/brie-larson-crystal-lucy-awards-critics/ [https://variety.com/video/brie-larson-crystal-lucy-awards-critics/] )via YouTube videos, rather than forging fresh responses to crises like under and unemployment in America, a phenomena which disproportionately affects men. The present MRM’s achievements during The Trump years(an era which was ostensibly more friendly to MRA talking points) aren’t remotely comparable to the legislative and social victories of a more inchoate movement during The 90s and The 2000s https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=10183 [https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=10183] https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1991-06-30-9102270767-story.html [https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1991-06-30-9102270767-story.html] https://reason.com/1994/07/01/man-troubles/ [https://reason.com/1994/07/01/man-troubles/] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d28usWdvmSg [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d28usWdvmSg] Robert Glover published his seminal book No More Nice Guy in '02 https://archive.seattletimes.com/archive/?date=20020509&slug=niceguy09 [https://archive.seattletimes.com/archive/?date=20020509&slug=niceguy09] , and Marc Rudov published his book around the same time https://www.amazon.com/Mans-No-Nonsense-Guide-Women-Succeed/dp/0974501719 [https://www.amazon.com/Mans-No-Nonsense-Guide-Women-Succeed/dp/0974501719] James Cook and David Levy won imperfect yet monumental legislative victories, while advocates like Baber, Kammer, and Arst gave us what The Woke Warriors over at The Take now lament as The Post-Feminist late 90s-2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBxgEIcMB6o [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBxgEIcMB6o] Ya know, the days where Askmen.com [http://Askmen.com] was writing from an unapologetically male standpoint ( https://uk.askmen.com/top_10/dating/top-10-signs-youre-too-good-for-her.html [https://uk.askmen.com/top_10/dating/top-10-signs-youre-too-good-for-her.html] https://www.askmen.com/dating/dating_advice_60/80b_dating_tips.html [https://www.askmen.com/dating/dating_advice_60/80b_dating_tips.html] https://www.askmen.com/top_10/dating/top-10-signs-shell-be-a-bad-mother.html [https://www.askmen.com/top_10/dating/top-10-signs-shell-be-a-bad-mother.html] https://au.askmen.com/top_10/dating/things-women-do-to-emasculate-men_3.html [https://au.askmen.com/top_10/dating/things-women-do-to-emasculate-men_3.html] ); loudly as today’s Ayatollahs Of Red Pill Theology doth protest to the contrary, they haven’t said anything new. Starting in the early 2000s, public willingness to acknowledge that women were just as prone to murderous acts as we men are led to the creation of the series Snapped, which didn’t portray the gals they profiled as anything but the criminals that they are. In '09, one of NPR’s flagship programs-Talk Of The Nation-brought the terrific Ned Holstein on to discuss the fraud that is The Duluth Model https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=106820029 [https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=106820029] , and even Tyra Banks devoted an entire hour to female on male DV, in which the perpetrator wasn’t given a free pass because she was female https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdC0a_agt0E [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdC0a_agt0E] By contrast, the present day MRM is largely seen as sideshow unto itself, more famous for it’s association with non-troverseries like Gamer Gate and Comics Gate than anything else. Here in '22, Third Wave Feminism still exerts the stranglehold over the mainstream media that an earlier decade of feminism did during the late 70s-the late 90s, and there’s no signs of this stranglehold loosening it’s grip anytime soon “The same polls that regularly show high levels of public support also reveal this support to be quite shallow. The environ- ment rarely rises to the upper levels of con- cern. This may help explain why, despite the gulf between George W. Bush’s and John Kerry’s policy proposals, environmental issues generated almost no attention during the presi- dential campaign.” Not much of a rewrite required here. The polls also indicate that while public support for making shared parenting legislation the law of the land, criminal justice reform, and enforcing due process on campus are high, that support is also remarkably shallow, and rarely coming anywhere close to the Top 5 worries which are foremost in the minds of most Americans. This may account, at least in part, for the fact that neither Donald Trump nor Joe Biden said much about men’s issues during the last election cycle, despite The MRM having enjoyed 18 minutes of fame during the mid-10s, during which time they were often blamed for Trump’s victory by the mainstream media For all of they hype around Cassie Jaye’s documentary The Red Pill upon it’s release, it was also largely a phenomena among self-proclaimed Anti-sJWs(the contemporary MRM is an outgrowth of this subculture, much in the same Environmentalism is an outgrown of of this subculture, much in the same Environmentalism is an outgrown of The Counterculture of The 60s)and their followers. The general public still continues to view The MRM as little more than a gaggle of socially inept and neck bearded man-babies, who blame all of the disappointment sin their lives on women, feminism, The New World Order, The Lizard People, etc etc I could go with the parallels, but I’m not sufficiently motivated to do so. The rest of you all read Meyer’s essay, and let me know where you agree with me or think I’m flat out wrong
