One thought on “Suzanne Venker: The desperate cry of America’s boys”
The casual denigrating of men so habitual of today’s media makes me so angry sometimes; nowhere on the left does anyone point out that mass shooters are a statistical aberration among men or how men regularly give their lives to protect others, more so than women. Where were the female teachers shielding their students from this psycho? Would it be okay to condemn all these women as cowards because they don’t throw themselves in front of husbands, boyfriends or students when violence erupted around them?
What about the fact that we have solid proof that the single mothers who drain the state coffers produce, on average, (male) children who are statistically significantly more likely to display anti-social traits, turn into tomorrow’s criminals, and have expensive mental health problems. How would feminists react if I blindly lumped all these women together (the ones with good reason to leave their partners/raising kids despite a feckless deadbeat dad, with the cases who, shall we say, are less sympathetic)? How would they feel if I said something like: “Female whorishness and emotional irresponsibility is responsible for producing mass shooters; we need to end welfare for single and divorced mothers and teach women to keep their legs closed until they are financially ready to support a family.”

I imagine they’d be pretty pissed off.
