Watch any TV program and you will notice fathers are always the buffoon run over by witty and jagged tongued wife/mother. And that's supposed to be funny.. and widely accepted reality of the modern day USA.
Men have been pussified. And more power to women who like pussiefied men.
Then watch a serious drama with overpowering father... he's a psychopathic killer.
We live in a society where men/father play 2nd fiddle to mom/wife.
While I've just been (very successfully) trolling in this thread, this is actually true.
We are entering into a time of female privilege. Already, women in my age group are earning more than men in my age group. And its projected to get worse. Men are several times as likely to commit suicide, men are much more likely to be unemployed, men attain less education. And on and on. Nobody seems to care in feminist circles. I predict that within 15 years, there will be a strong mens' rights movement rise up as powerfully as the womens' rights movements of the 20th century. It will address things like selective service, the continued expected behavior expected of men despite a changing of the guard in female gender roles from the 20th century, the disregard for mens' lives, paternity issues, and, as you mentioned, the acceptance of the man as the idiot of the family, etc.
It should be interesting. We will start seeing more "empowered" men refusing to open doors for women, refusing to marry, refusing to pay for dates, etc, etc. At some point, men will realize that American women really just aren't worth it. (For the record, the VAAAAASSSST majority of you aren't.) Though TO BE FAIR, its because you've been conditioned to think you "get to have your cake and eat it, too" since the age of 3. You just don't see what some men are beginning to see.
Thankfully, I married a woman that was cool enough to get married in a courtroom, loves sports, loves video games, loves women, has the same job, doesn't want kids, ever (in fact, has been medically sterilized), etc.
I pity the rest of these American male saps that actually put up with the dual "Modern Woman vs Victorian Male" dichotomy. The "script" is pretty scary. Get married, plop out 2.3 kids...next thing you know, honey biscuit doesn't want you anymore, she gets the house, kids, alimony, and child support; you get an apartment and debt. Next thing you know, some other dude is raising your kids. Calling him dad...you see them every other weekend...slowly becoming a distant relative to your own children. You got a 50% chance of that happening. Like I said...being single is a much, much better proposition. American women aren't worth the financial risk. 50% chance of losing everything. Think about that. Amazing.
Men are disposable. They can just be replaced in the family. They can just be drafted and sent off to die. Remember that theater shooting in Colorado? All of the men were "expected" to stay and protect their women. The ones stupid enough to give their lives for a girlfriend of 3 months were "heroes." The ones that ran were shamed. Why? I thought women were empowered and equal to men? Well, this goes back to the empowered women vs Victorian man thing. Women get to be empowered when its convenient for them...and they get to expect men to be their protectors, door holders, and providers at the same time.
And when it happens, the typical ******* American woman response will be to say men are whining. And that they need to "man up." Rather than actually understanding men, they will just ignore them nd call them unmanly...or whatever. It's pretty predictable.
A time of female privilege.
Thankfully, because my wife isn't a typical American idiot and I'll always be successful on my own volition, it will never be an issue for me. But at some point American male intellectuals need to fight for their equality. The decrease in the value of men is disturbing. It's not a gender thing, its a human rights thing.
