Mainstream conversations on masculinity are populated by the most idiotic and dishonest views by some of the most respectable people and organisations.

The UN basically blamed coronavirus on a patriachal society and why we have to deconstruct society and make it more feminine.

I think that is one of the most idiotic things anyone can conjure up on a global pandemic. A pandemic that statistically speaking has affected more men.

You mean the patriachy came up with a pandemic that largely affects its own "constituents" the most. One would think it'll be

the reverse.

The Dalai Lama after making a "Europe should be for Europeans gaffe" decided the best way to atone for it is by throwing masculinity under the bus. Came out and said the world should elect more women leaders because they are better leaders. There's no empirical

evidence to support that statement. And since these countries are also democracies which have governments that are populated by both genders, I wonder how we would go about isolating the impacts of one particular gender in it to be able to come to that conclusion. It's nuts!

This agenda that's being pushed that women are victims of oppression; oppression that's being perpetuated by men and so we have to prop women up under the guise of equality. But "equality" never discusses the issues that affect men. Men must be the most incompetent oppressors in

the history of oppressors.

- They pay the most taxes.
- Work the most dangerous jobs over 98%.
- Are involved in more fatal accidents at the workplace.
- Work longer hours.
- Suffer more violent crimes.
- Get less support from govts.
- There's a ministry of women affairs.

- Jailed more by a larger percentage.
- Denied access to custody of their children more.
- Men account for the most number of homeless people.
- Most people who commit suicide are male.
- More men have given thier lives for our freedom and liberty.

The list is endless.

So one would imagine if the society was indeed characterised by a tyrannical patriachal, the people who bear the most brunt of it would not be the same men. Where's the sense in that?

But that agenda has been set on auto pilot, lots of people do not bother doing their

research and men have become a punching bag for all sorts of people and institutions.

To a large extent I think the people who are funding these movements and rhetorics are taking a cue from some of the most oppressive people in history and their supreme agenda is to divide.

Divide and Rule!

So divide the entire population in these halves.

You then do something to generate outrage on one side and broadcast that outrage to the other half, then the other half responds and you then broadcast that back to the early half.

In that way you orchestrate a pingpong of outrage which means your rule whoever you are, whether a shadow government, or a big tech company, or political institutions never gets challenged because these people will never unite enough to figure it out.

Then these groups, get even further broken down. Push an agenda of alpha male versus beta male and all the rest, push an agenda of progressive women versus conservative women and you just keep breaking them down all to the level of group identity.

These divisions then result in what divisions always result in. Disunity!

The point of all these is to let you understand that you have been fed a lie. Gender pay gap doesn't exist, you were told that so that you can be angry at men.

Why is money being pushed as the ultimate

source of happiness when several surveys have shown that what most people value the most are their families and their loved ones. No one is ever on the death beds talking about all the millions they have amassed, they'd rather be surrounded by families and loved ones.

Yet cash is pushed as king, as the ultimate source of happiness.

I'm breaking these down so that you can see the lies in these rhetorics. If mainstream feminism was all for women and their choices, then why does mainstream feminism attack the same women who have chosen

to not regurgitate the victimhood "oppressed" mentality. Women who are doing meaningful things with their lives are called gender traitors and accused internalised misogyny.

It goes to show it is about a divisive ideology and not about women's choices or rights.

Men bear the most brunt of the ideology now. And a lot of them are too lazy or ashamed to question what they have been told of themselves.

There's nothing wrong with your masculinity, infact it is why we continue to flourish as a species instead of suffer extinction.

The UN can say whatever it wants for its own agenda, the Dalia Lama can try to amend for his gaffe by throwing you under the bus.

They are not authorities on anything outside their own personal agendas.

So keep standing tall and keep doing the thankless job of being

an upstanding man in your family and citizen of your country.
