This isn't surprising. There have been numerous articles, like this and books like this around for years now. Some look at it as an opportunity to redefine masculinity, others take a more doom-and-gloom approach.
> Well first of all you’re part of the problem.
Ah, I'm part of the problem - with my single motherhood and putting down straight white males and my man-hating. Interesting.
>I don’t know what you gain by denying what I have said but okay
I gain the truth, and I gain the opportunity to show others what the truth is.
>Like I said you don’t have to put men down to raise everyone else up.
Did you read ANYTHING AT ALL that I typed, or did you just assume what I said because that was easier for you to respond to?
>I think it is your false assumption that just because someone is white and male means they are somehow impervious from human problems specifically.
I think it is your false assumption that I believe anything of the sort.
>This is actually sexist and racist.
Sure thing, snowflake.
>In fact the things I have said would benefit society as a whole, specifically the African American community and even women.
Because a woman can't do anything "without her man"?
>Can I not advocate for white men?
Do white men really need someone to advocate for them? Is this another "War on Christmas" thing where someone in conservative media made up a bad situation so that they'd have something to rant about? Because white men are in an awfully good position in our society.
>Do you have a problem with this?
What I have a problem with is ignorance. Something you would appear to have in droves.
>If you do then fuck off. Label me alt-right if you want, makes no difference to me.
You absolutely sound like you get your information from the alt-right media, at the very least. What is most worrying is that you don't seem interested in correcting your poor information at all.
>The decline of men (https://www.amazon.com/Decline-Men-American-Getting-Flipping/dp/0061353159)
Your sourcing about the decline of men is a link to a book that some dude wrote. Sorry to be the one to break this to you, but that's not sourcing your statement at all. You're going to have to do a lot better than that to convince anyone of anything.
>Side effects (https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2018-02-14/the-side-effects-of-the-decline-of-men)
So my question here is...did you even read that article? Or did you just Google something and that title met the match so you included it? Because that article doesn't say what you seem to believe it is saying.
>I was referring to interpersonal male role models. A father figure. Not some guy on TV
First of all, that's not at all what you said. You said there were no positive male role models or models for masculinity. All of those I cited are exactly that (plus many more).
As for the ridiculous suggestion that there aren't positive role models for young men to look up to in their everyday lives, well I'm not sure how you could possibly know such a thing. Where is your documentation of this evidence? Or is it just something that you were told?
I've got to be honest - you're clearly not here to find out what we think. You're clearly here to rant at us. We're not going to buy into the idiocy that someone sold you on.
I'm sorry that your life sucks so bad that you fall for crap like this...I really am. Maybe you can find a positive male role model in your life to fix this...of course, my emphasis would be on "positive", because it's clear to me that you have more than enough negative influences in your media.
