Justice for Men & Boys 
Interesting indeed. On so many fronts in the culture war even to understanding biology, one can be an extremist simply by going about life as a very ordinary person. This particularly reminded me of the parade of surveys done over decades now which consistently show that people still aspire to much the same things in terms of finding a partner, forming a family having a home and some luxuries and having a fairly traditional life. We know so much about these surveys because each one brings the Fawcett Society, Women’s party and assorted popular feminists out in condemnation and demands women be “educated” out of such ideas. Now of course increasingly these aspirations are not achieved, in no small measure because our institutions do their best to place barriers or undermine such “extremist” lifestyles as forming the nuclear family in a wider family network. Yet still the majority do. While many others regret not having achieved this or losing it (through divorce for instance). Having worked in social care I can see the vast resources devoted to patching up or replacing broken families by attempting to recreate two parent families through fostering or adoption, creating schemes for “male role models” in particularly broken communities and so on. Yet these £billions are spent and childrens services are constantly “overwhelmed” while simultaneously public policy and institutions are hostile to family formation around two parents! What a mess. A real revolution would simply be for us a a society take the aspirations people have and consider what would help them to achieve them!
