BDSM And Feminism: Intertwined? How So?

They ban competition and contests in schools (where they have become the ruling majority) because females prefer to co-operate than to compete. And the education system is also becoming increasingly feminised. Boys no longer receive the discipline necessary to make them work as hard as girls do, but female teachers are unable to deliver it.

You're right. Boys need male rolemodels. And women can't provide that. But i don't think male teachers were actually forced out of schools. They went to get more lucrative jobs, probably. Besides all that, schools should not be responsibe to raise kids, but to educate them. Raising the kids is their parents job. And unfortunately, the men tend to be much more at work than back home, with their kids.

The workplace is becoming increasingly feminised. Equal pay is a good thing, as is equal opportunity. But from my perspective, males' salaries have been held back because there are so many married females entering - flooding - the workforce to earn extra money, whom the employers can pay less. Already there are masses of unemployed young males, who are increasingly disaffected and who have few prospects ahead of them. No prospects, that is, apart from crime and violence.

So i should step down from my job, find me a husband, have a couple of kids and stay home? Just so a guy who spent his whole youth with his playstation while i worked and studied and learned can have it? Do i understand that right?
Besides, there are always prospects apart from crime and violence. But i think the youngsters need to learn that. And i also think that "victimizing the offenders" doesn't really help anyone, least the one who need help most, in this case the young unemployed males.

I know "modern girls" don't think that way, and still have legitimate complaints that they are not "fully equal". I long for the time when they are, and can acknowledge it. Maybe they'll be able to treat men as equals then.

Yes, i fully second that.
