(22,976 posts)And for the average Neanderthal, its regrettably their ignorant truth unenlightened men no doubt feel threatened by the mere existence of informed, intelligent, capable, savvy women instead, their brains short out with faulty information thats been drummed in by an overbearing father, or some hyper-fundamentalist church pastor, or other weak-minded yet influential men.
Its a big, simmering problem, you can see men (especially young men) falling behind and struggling in our culture. Economically and socially, they havent had any decent modeling or guidance, and they cant get much traction, so they look for scapegoats, namely POC and women. And with the King Asshole in the WH, theyve struck it rich: a prez who hates women and blacks and Mexicans, etc. Hes from the city but hes a good ol boy.
But this feeling threatened or sadder yet, emasculated by sharp, capable women is a losers gambit. Anyone with half a functioning brain cell could grasp that womens time is finally coming around, and things as they are will be reconfigured. There will be MORE women as peers and superiors coming. As a man whos utterly fed up with other mens bullshit, I welcome more women into the everyday flow of life. And men? Adapt. Adapt or face extinction.
