Interesting article from Matt Goodwin’s Substack. Could it be that young men just feel like giving up ?

If a young man can’t get a job, he won’t get a woman. Roy Baumeister recognised this in his work on Sexual Economics. A ‘good’ job is the main male trading card in the dating market. It was, in fact, alluded to much, much earlier by V C Wynne-Edwards, the father of Group Selection Theory, as he called a job “a man’s licence to breed.”

For a woman, the job is entirely optional, as she knows that the boys will come calling anyway. However, her employment raises the bar still further in the physical and mental gymnastics courses women subject men to, while assessing ‘suitability’ (= likely female benefits). Jumping through hoops is a favourite track event.
Needless to say, all men beneath her pay grade are ‘invisible’.
AA, EEO, ESG, DEI = women are empowered in hypergamic female reproductive preferences. Meanwhile men are kicked to the kerb, having never held a ‘licence to breed’.

We’ve witnessed the end of going out on the pull – here’s why that’s a problem | The Independent
A variation on the where have all the good men gone. In this case a lament about the scenario of “going out on the pull”. You can tell its written by a woman because any man would point out that what she’s describing is quite likely to get a man at least chucked out of a bar or club bt the bouncers or even arrested for stalking or sexual harassment. Because that’s the risk in an age where “rape culture” makes it sexual harassment to “give unwanted compliments, “stare”, “look creepy” or touch at all. Having had feminist “consent” “sexual abuse” and “gender equality” education young men know that almost anything they do can be turned into some sort of offense or crime and land them in very hot water indeed, should the attempt to “pull” fail. Far worse that the bruised ego and ribbing from mate that would accompany a failed attempt in the past. If a male journalist had written this bemoaning the passing of such opportunities he’d find himself in a social media pile on and in all probability out of a job. Just one minor example of the modern minefield for men ……

What’s particularly annoying about Jess Phillips is her conflation of ‘bothering women on the dance floor’ with being about to spike their drinks.

Why on earth would a man go to a club UNLESS it was to ‘bother women on the dance floor’? She has, therefore, on the sly, made it inappropriate for an unattached man to be there.

There was just recently an article about the recent upturn in the numbers of young women “NEET” and a small down turn in young men.
In a classic of the type no where did it give the actual overall young people NEET. Had it done so it would have shown that both figures were tiny in comparison to the total numbers and of course that there are many more males NEET than females. Whereas of course the article was a claim women needed extra help and special services! A minor variation in a couple of months becomes women falling behind, all efforts to help women!
