It sounds like people like that could really benefit from volunteering somewhere, like Habitat for Humanity or something. Do something with their time besides stewing over not getting laid.

Also, this is an issue in Japan and the result seems to have been a lot of guys dating their pillows, not a lot of guys committing mass murder.

There was a creepy comment on the Jez facebook article that basically said “what do you expect when young men’s access to a family is cut off” and another little piece of me died.

Oh good lord. That isn’t even original. I mean I loved Fight Club, but it isn’t a god damned how-to manual.

This reminds me of how I was sitting in one of the most prestigious law schools in the country and I overheard a white girl telling a white guy, “I just feel so bad for white men. They are so demonized and people are so horrible to them!”

Increasingly marginalized...lol Oh, boy. The “no path to full-fledged manhood” piece kills me. I’m an overweight, balding, curmudgeon in my 30s, without a college education. I would also consider myself a grown man (most of the time). The “path to full-fledged manhood” is simple: Hard work, patience, and respect.

And I kinda dig how companies are honing in on that fact, even poking fun at the bewilderment. ;)

YES!! Adulthood is handling the disappointment that what you thought adulthood meant when you were 10 isn’t really true (and probably never was).

I love how men all think they’re going to be part of the one percent that is handed a cushy six figure job and access to willowy submissive baby machines named Heatherlee. Guys, most men don’t have access to that path. It’s call Being Born Obscenely Rich Asshole Trail.

If they aren’t finding a “workable path to full-fledged manhood and a place in adult society” that’s kind of on them, not society.

After all this time insulting women for being “emotional”, it turns out these guys are the pathetic ones.

Yeah, I think they mean actually forced to compete with women and minorities and not doing such a bang-up job of that. When your cohort stops getting the head start like 10% of time and therefore doesn't win, maybe it's time to examine why you suck. Not why you've lost 10% of your unfair advantage.

This. I got dumped via text last night by someone I’d been seeing for three months, and my reaction was, “Okay. No big deal.” He offered an explanation, and I said, “None necessary. I wish you luck!” Not for one hot second did I think of getting a gun and murdering unrelated people.

1) yes ban men but I would like to keep the one who pays half of my rent.

In 7th grade I wore a different Harry Potter shirt every day of the week... And HP light up shoes. Needless to say dudes were not lining up to hit on me. And even after I started to conform more... it was still “hey... aren’t you that crazy Harry Potter girl?” YUP! Once even a kid I had a huge crush on went around…

Ohh of course. The good jobs men used to get handed because they were the only ones allowed to be educated/qualified for such things, the wife slave, and the kids raised entirely by the wife slave. *Sigh* those were the days.

Also “increasingly marginalized” = increasingly less completely dominant in all spheres, so. Cry me a river indeed.

When I was in my 20s, there was a stretch where I couldn’t get laid for over a year.

Fucking just ban men. Ban all of them.

Fuck all ya’ll who said we were rushing to judgment over why he did this.
