Yesterday we posted a piece titled Women and Equalities Committee to hear from Adolescence producers on misogyny among young men and boys. Our thanks to Nigel for his comments on the piece, which takes up the remainder of this piece:
From the wild Irish slums of the 19th century Eastern seaboard, to the riot-torn suburbs of Los Angeles, there is one unmistakable lesson in American history; a community that allows a large number of men to grow up in broken families, dominated by women, never acquiring any stable relationship to male authority, never acquiring any set of rational expectations about the future — that community asks for and gets chaos. Crime, violence, unrest, disorder — most particularly the furious, unrestrained lashing out at the whole social structure — that is not only to be expected; it is very near to inevitable. And it is richly deserved.”
A follow-up in America magazine to The Negro Family: The Case for National Action (Moynihan of The Moynihan Report, Thomas Meehan, NYT 31 Jul 1966)
This quote from Daniel Patrick Moynihan following his report on the effects of the breakdown in family structures in what we’d now call “Black” families and communities predicted the collapse in those communities, now well evidenced in the stats on crime, incarceration, addiction and illegitimacy and single parents. A decline mirrored in this country in the West Indian community. And in fact reflected in our “sink estates” for “white” communities. 60 years ago the sociological data showed this and today the evidence is so overwhelming that the blindness to it amounts to insanity.
But of course this means there can be no “policy response” to this because it would mean looking closely at the feminist orthodoxy stated so clearly in this country in “The Family Way” by Harriet Harman et al in the 1970s. That the “family” is the mother and her children. And as Moynihan warned this degradation occurs not because of poverty but because the poor are most subjected to public policy through access to welfare, the greater the public welfare offer the greater the influence on the behaviour of people who rely upon it. Such a hard look at reality is impossible while feminism is the “uniparty orthodoxy”. And public policy is driven by feminist principles.
So in this article we read some very real practical problems faced by boys. But of course it then degenerates into considering the prince of darkness Andrew Tate, if only Starmer could drive a wooden stake through Tate’s black heart!
As usual reference is to “influencers” like Tate, but nothing I’ve read ever names any others. Either they don’t exist or, more likely, the journalists and politicians simply repeat the “Tate” mantra and have no idea at all about his supposed legions in a “manosphere”. And of course many boys know of this godlike Andrew Tate, not least because media and teachers have been going on and on about him for years now! So no. Nothing will get done. And we’ll be subjected to those in power tilting at windmills. In a way the good part is taking the idiotic ideology into the schools because it exposes boys and young men to the reality of “diversity and equality” feminism …. that it hates them.

Yes, let the hysteria continue! The feminist clerisy double down on attempts to shove their illogical ideologies down the throats of youngsters, imposing their visions of ‘healthy’ masculinities (be quiet and do as female authority figures say – pretty much the mantra of the educational system, these days). They don’t seem to grasp a major, fundamental aspect of life. Boys are not girls. Boys are curious. Boys will ask: “Why..? Why should I do this? And, who ARE these influencers, anyway?” Before you know it, teacher and her state-sponsored facilitators have awakened another fundamental difference in the sexes. Boys like to find things out for themselves, rather than be dictated to. Boys like to join up the dots into a picture which makes sense. And that picture sure ain’t pretty. Boys like conclusions to ring TRUE, they’re not going to be convinced by a crock covered in glitter.
They’ll do their research. They’ll come up with their own conclusions. These are unlikely to concur with teacher or their female classmates, or feminists, or Keir Starmer, or the execrable writers of ‘Adolescence’.
This could all have been avoided, by just allowing kids to be kids, and to grow up without ideologies being imposed. That has all worked out not too badly up until now. But, the usual parties just HAD to meddle, didn’t you? Unleashing the Law of Unintended Consequences..
All the propaganda, the attempted brainwashing of youngsters too young to have fully expressed critical analysis faculties. The curiosity of the young males has been awakened.
Culturally-imposed feminism isn’t going to free the next generation of women from a non-existent oppression by males. It’s going to free the next generation of men from an ongoing, eternal oppression by females….one which they wouldn’t even have been aware of, in the absence of your odious interventions.

Way back in the 1920s the new revolutionary rulers of the Soviet Union went for a big bang approach to abolition of the traditional family. Explicitly feminist in inspiration. This “letter from a Russian woman” describes the mayhem that resulted and the debate that convulsed the country. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1926/07/the-russian-effort-to-abolish-marriage/306295/ Now if you look at what the communists were trying to do in a few years it is in fact exactly the much slower journey we have been travelling here in the UK since the 1970s. All policies that have been enacted or are being actively discussed now. Curiously this was well before the existence of social media and influencers. Yet the results including “polygamy and polyamory “, single parent families, easy quick divorces, abortion, social breakdown and spiralling crime are as evident today as they were then. Ita not hard to research the social collapse in the USSR as the feminist (Engels) policies were implemented in quick order. Funny how modern feminists gloss over the places in the world that actually have enthusiastically enacted their agenda … and regretted it.
