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.
