"We don’t reward, respect or honour hard-working young men, especially those excelling in mathematics, engineering or science – fields that will produce long-term solutions in a world of increasing complexity. Moreover, we shut them out of schools and trades due to gender selection, shut them out of university with financial signals, shut them out of sex and marriage because the ‘hawt guy’ is cooler and ‘less boring’. Then we wonder why, at the statistically extreme end of the Bell curve, we get violent misfits!"

The thing is that you CAN’T avoid doing this without keeping women down, deliberately. If the favoritism in favor of women were eliminated, it would certainly help, but the key issue driving this is the reproductive and financial independence of women from men. When that happens, women choose thug, because they always wanted thug, and now they CAN choose thug, because they do not need a decent man for money or kids. Hypergamy is wired in, but was checked by financial need and reproductive fate. Today, neither applies, so it is unleashed. Social mores buttressed both systems (i.e., the old one and the new one). If you want to unwind this, obviously you can’t uninvent birth control (something which almost all Christians, including almost all of the Christian guys on this blog support, but which was clearly a total trojan horse culturally — the evil one is nothing if not clever), so you’d have to make it nigh on impossible for women to be economically independent of men. That won’t happen unless there is a general calamity, given that the economy has moved to services and “brain work”. So there is no “taking it back” short of Mad Max, and there is no “fixing” it here and there. It’s cooked now. What remains is keeping you and yours as unscathed as you can, because there are indeed personal options despite the culture — there are no broad cultural options that are open to us. That is now cooked, and we lost.
