Thank you for this current events/state of affairs of civil rights information Ann. Had never heard the term “femsplaining”. Paragraphs 1 and 4 are downright frightening. If I may piggyback on the doofus dad…..I also have noticed, as of late, of advertising commercials a new lack of representation of the white family. Honest to God truth: I do not have a knack for household decorating and very much value and appreciate the insight of a visionary who is talented in this field—man or woman, black or white, any person-inclusive-group-of-persons. Thank you Ann.

In TV ads it is invariably the man and white people, generally, who are the idiots and the women and black people who are the smarties. You see this enough and, assuming you are of feeble brain (most people), you start to believe it. Repetitive propaganda works!

Yes, and the Earth rotates around the Sun....every 365+ days.

This has been going on since the first Women's Studies class was attended by innocent college girls in the 1960s. We men have been suffering in "sentenced silence" ever since.

We can't even enjoy sex like it should be enjoyed......for all the rules and regulations.

We can't call women "pretty" for fear of being called a sexist.

We can't look "affectionately" at a women without being indicted on a sexual assault with our "eyes and our thoughts"....as they wear tops and pants so tight......it used to signify a prostitute.

We can't disagree with women.....without someone charging us with "mansplaining". Basically means - a man explaining something to a women....e-gads!!!!!!!!

Alone and treading lightly around women......thankfully...........

Good article, good point! This seems like an extension of your book “Guilty” or am I thinking “Godless”. Narratives come and go, the truth can’t be avoided for long. I’ll always honor you for mentioning that once women got the right to vote, spending went through the roof (see Pelosi & Paul Ryan as female speakers of the house!)

-Additional point: men don’t blame the collective, as the collective as risen to great accomplishments. If the individual man hasn’t/doesn’t/can’t well then that falls on the individual man!

Great excerpts but I hate the pay wall.

We'd all be better off if women didn't vote

I think most of this gender-warfare is internet contrived bs from disconnected people with nothing better to do. The problem is that society defines every trait of a man as bad and every trait of a woman as good but normal people will instinctively reject this.
