The At Whatever Blog: let's start with 'is masculinity in crisis'

jac_the_gripper: The video title '...Brian humbled her' was telling.

This is about a gender power game, one that you clearly want to win, gal.

In the first instance, there are two bigger, older-looking, prepared men in the control seat of that discussion. Some of those girls/young women looked like they were barely adult (assuming they weren't minors) and at that age a year, or more is a big age, experience and authority gap.

I heard the point that the second young woman was making - it's not her responsibility to make sure random young men are going to college, etc. It's not her responsibility to tend to the needs of men and any idea that it is stems from our long history of patriarchal oppression. At her age, her responsiblity is getting hersef through college, etc. as she quite rightly pointed out.

When the third young woman said she loved men, but didn't need men, I heard what she was saying - she's okay not having an intimate relationship with men, which is nothing like acknowledging that men are relevant in society because they build things.

What this Brian fella is trying to compare is 'a shelter built by a man and rented to a woman' and 'the emotional needs of man being nutured by women because it's our gender role to provide that service for free'.

If you, or any other man is feeling sexually irrelevant, it's not our job to remedy that by availing ourselves to you for the purposes of a relationship.

If you would like support with becoming more sexually relevant from a demographic better suited to the single life, you might start with behaving less like an arse towards us.

And before you start whining like a big girl's blouse that I'm not being nice to you for telling you straight (no subtle hints given, nor mind reading expected here), refer back to the subject matter of the video you chose to repost.
