An interesting piece in The Guardian.
This is the first time I’ve noticed there’s a Men’s section in the paper. The article in the previous link was written by a woman, and last month’s contributors to the section include the wombat Laurie Penny.

Justice for Men & Boys 
Sadly, Australia’s idea of a “minister” to men is a cucked, feminist, weak, apologetic, misandrist panty-waist! The liberals and feminists will fight giving up female victimhood tooth and nail!

A first question to the minister might be; Given his commitment to “gender equality” will he be fighting to repeal the recent Australian legislation which ended the legal presumption that a child benefits from contact with mother and father? After all Australia went up a notch in the world gender equality rankings when it passed the original legislation that presumed both parents had the same responsibilities and rights with regard to their children given this answered the feminist complaint that it was assumed all issues about children rested with the mother! If he isn’t then he must believe not in equality but “harmful gender stereotypes” that the care of children are the particular responsibility of the mother.

The piece actually shows how confused the minister is. If read carefully it makes clear that the evidence actually does link relationship breakdown, family court proceedings, accusations of abuse with the high level of male suicide. Yet in almost the same breath he claims there isn’t evidence of such links! Instead his call for evidence is a sham because of course it exists, he need only look at the work of Bettina Ardnt to find it!
This actually illustrates the real problem https://theconversation.com/what-working-class-boys-need-to-succeed-at-school-respect-and-open-conversations-277912
What the research finds is that the teaching profession bases it’s ideas on the opinions of media and the hype of Drama. So do in fact treat the real issues that boys want to find answers to as automatically a big problem rather than teenagers attempting to deal with the huge changes and challenges of going from childhood to an adult. Put simply the research finds that the teachers respond to boys on the basis of stereotypes and the notion they are inherently a problem. The very last thing is to actually listen to boys or to treat them with respect. The most damning finding, to my mind, is that boys still find they are ridiculed if they do reveal their feelings or insecurities and there are no “safe spaces” where they can have their say without being immediately judged by the supposed adults /professionals who theoretically are there to guide them into adulthood. One can see how this happens, our “narrative” is so obsessed with the myriad of problems for girls and young women. Has literally no time for boys and young men to express any of the many doubts, fears, ideas etc. they have about their physical, mental, social role changes, confusions etc. Because , as with adults, males don’t have problems they are the problem and should shut up. So just like the story from Australia even when it’s clear there are issues for men, unless they express themselves in the approved way (that these are their own fault or not actually real) they are literally told to shut up. For instance the widespread dissatisfaction with the family courts and law is responded to not as an indication of things that need to be looked into to see if there are substantive issue but dismissed as “misogyny” and without any substance!
As the research in education shows the result is a huge gulf between the teacher’s belief that they are modelling respect and the boys’ observation that they are continually lectured at and actually punished in various ways of they do “open up”. The double standards are all too evident and contribute to the supposed “backlash” against equality. Whereas what is described if a backlash against double standards and stereotypes!
Proving no one listened to Michael Kimmel’s warning two decades ago. That if educators ignored boys and young mens very real concerns and problems they would “be perceived as telling lies” about “equality”. More and more perceive they are being told lies hence the growing “gender gap”. It’s not the rather theatrical Andrew Tate that has done this it’s the “blob” itself!
