Sperm counts amongst men have significantly decreased over the last half century and particularly over the last 25 years. In some European countries, sperm counts have dropped by as much as a third since 1989. Part of the fall can be explained by exposure to pesticides, endocrine-disrupting chemicals like Bisphenol A, and the many other artificial horrors that increasingly pervade our water and food supply. Many have made the connection between falling sperm counts and the open calls by innumerable elitists to drastically reduce world population by as much as 95%. Research shows that underpopulation, not overpopulation, will be the major demographic crisis of the 21st century as a result of humans failing to achieve the replacement rate of 2.1 children.
2) Chemical Warfare “Feminizing” Boys
Exposure to phthalates, which are found in many plastics, is “feminizing” boys by blocking normal male testosterone and causing genital abnormalities, according to scientists. “Boys exposed to high levels of these in the womb were less likely than other boys to play with cars, trains and guns or engage in “rougher” games like playfighting,” according to a BBC News report. According to Elizabeth Salter-Green, director of the chemicals campaign group CHEM Trust, phthalates are a true “gender-bender” because they lead to a reduction in “male behavior”.
3) Degradation of Positive Masculine Role Models
Whereas 50 years ago, advertising, Hollywood and television was filled with examples of positive masculine role models that young men could look up to, today’s entertainment industry routinely portrays men as clueless and bumbling oafs at best (think Homer Simpson, Everybody Loves Raymond, Married With Children) or at worst as aggressive sexual predators. Since advertising is primarily aimed at women, men in commercials are also now routinely depicted as either being emasculated losers or stupefied morons. Young men consuming this content grow up thinking that it is acceptable and even encouraged to aspire to these character traits. In doing so, they are robbed of their natural masculinity and find it extremely difficult to attract well-rounded women, who are rightly disgusted by such behavior. The entertainment industry is largely controlled by men, again underscoring the fact that this assault is a top down trend that has little or nothing to do with the gender war.
4) Metrosexual Malaise
Second wave feminism was a creation of the establishment itself and at its core has little whatsoever to do with genuine concern about women’s rights. Radical feminism deliberately confuses gender roles and makes young men apprehensive about exercising their masculinity for fear of being seen as overbearing or aggressive towards women. This has contributed to an entire generation of “metrosexual” men who are promiscuous, unwilling to commit to a relationship and unable to fulfil a women’s basic needs for healthy companionship, destabilizing society and making it more difficult for women to find suitable long term partners with whom to have children.
5) Cultural Marxism
Establishment-controlled second wave feminism also advances the doctrine of cultural marxism, which claims that oppression emerges from patriarchal society and culture, and not the state. Governments love cultural marxism because it absolves them of blame. The true source of all oppression has always been the state, but by blaming it on men or western culture in general (which is primarily shaped by men), the state hides its own responsibility.
6) The ‘Men are Paid More’ Myth
The establishment promulgates the myth that men are paid more than women because of discrimination, feeding into feminist doctrines about patriarchal systems oppressing women in the workplace. In reality, the “wage gap” of around 19 per cent between the two sexes in the United States is explained by a number of reasons that have nothing to do with discrimination, including the fact that men work more hours and men seek less desirable jobs that pay higher. As a result, men account for 93% of workplace deaths despite being only 54% of the workforce. 94% of workplace suicides every year are also men. The establishment buries these shockingly high male workplace fatality figures because they completely contradict the myth that the jobs market discriminates against women.

7) The “Privilege” Trap
Statists, collectivists and their mouthpieces in the media and the establishment claim that western men (in particular white men) cannot express a valid opinion on any issue related in any way to a “minority” (such as feminism or immigration) because they have “privilege”. The “privilege” talking point is a stunt through which liberals and feminists attempt to shut down free speech. In essence they are asserting the ludicrous notion that a man’s viewpoint has no value because of the color of his skin, his gender or his country of origin. This is an inherently racist position, yet it is routinely used by leftists to shout down their ideological adversaries and silence male voices.
8) The Legal System Discriminates Against Men
In both divorce and child custody proceedings, it is widely acknowledged that courts heavily favor women and discriminate against men. Men are routinely hit with onerous alimony payments even if women are capable of working and earning a good paycheck. Men only receive custody of their children in around 10 per cent of divorce cases in the United States. The ironic thing about this system is that it has primarily been instituted by other men, emphasizing again how the war on men is being waged not by women, but by the primarily male-dominated establishment itself.
9) Masculinity as a Dirty Word
Dissident feminist Camille Paglia recently wrote a Wall Street Journal piece in which she warned, “What you’re seeing is how a civilization commits suicide.” Paglia was referring to how the emancipation of masculine virtues by the establishment threatens to create massive destabilization in society due to less and less men being able to fill traditionally “masculine” roles in the jobs market. Paglia points to schools cutting recess, the effort to deny the biological distinctions between men and women, and the left’s characterization of controversial opinions as “hate speech” as examples of how masculinity is being deliberately eroded. “Masculinity is just becoming something that is imitated from the movies. There’s nothing left. There’s no room for anything manly right now,” warns Paglia, adding that young men have, “no models of manhood.”
10) Domestic Abuse Against Men
Whereas women have numerous safety nets to turn to if they become victims of domestic abuse, men have virtually none, despite the fact that domestic abuse against men is a huge and growing problem. In the UK for example, 44 per cent of domestic abuse victims are male, while more married men suffer abuse at the hands of their spouse than married women. While domestic abuse against women is constantly highlighted by the mass media, domestic abuse against men is a complete non-issue.
Conclusion
A totalitarian society can only survive if the male population has been gelded, emasculated and disenfranchised. With this natural bulwark against tyranny removed, the elite can centralize power and pursue collectivist tyranny unopposed. This is why men and masculinity are under assault on every level – and why both men and women should join forces to fight back against this common enemy.
Watch the trailer for the Disney Pixar movie “Inside Out” (above) and you will get a glimpse of Hollywood’s warped ideas about men and women. The star of the scene is a concerned mother who is sensitive to her daughter’s feelings and takes charge in a difficult parenting situation. The butt of the jokes is a clueless father who daydreams about sports, provokes his daughter and creates “disaster” by getting angry instead of getting to the root of his daughter’s distress.
Viewed alone, the scene is amusing, especially for fathers who may feel like they’re watching a home movie instead of an animated kids flick. But viewed in the context of today’s barrage against dumb dads, the trailer looks more like the latest battlefront in the war on men.
Masculinity is under attack on multiple fronts in America – in schools where boys are treated like defective girls, in colleges where young men are presumed guilty of rape unless proven innocent and even in the justice system where they are treated more harshly than women.
Bill Whittle lead a roundtable discussion with a cast of eight PJTV regulars and contributors, who kicked it off with a critique of the current attitude toward boys.
Whittle noted that boys are being medicated for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder at more than twice the rate of girls simply because they are more energetic than girls. Dr. Helen Smith, a forensic psychologist and author of “Men on Strike” says that is a direct result of liberal policies shaping public schools for the past three or four decades.
“People don’t know how to deal with boys,” says Smith. “And what they’re doing is … using drugs as an avenue for having boys be cooperative and fitting into a school system that often times they don’t fit into.”
The war on men continues once boys head off to college. The outcry against “rape culture” on campuses has created a scenario wherein feminists are so determined to be right that they believe the worst about men – and even publish hoax stories like the one in Rolling Stone about a supposed gang rape at the University of Virginia.
“There’s this narrative that fraternities are just evil, filled with terrible men who are just preying on women,” said Ashe Schow, a staff writer at the Washington Examiner.
The war also rages in today’s American workplaces, with the focus there encompassing distorted claims of wage inequality for women. Whittle challenged the math behind those complaints, noting that they do not take into account factors such as men working longer hours and gravitating toward work that is more dangerous.
“The so-called war on women is a great political issue, and we’ve seen [President Obama] basically make up statistics and make up facts,” PJ Media contributor Paula Bolyard said. “Yes, there’s a wage gap, but it’s because of different choices that women make.”
In the home, the war on men is being waged through movies, television shows and even commercials that portray dads as incompetent bozos. “The wife is always smarter,” says PJTV contributor Scott Ott. “She’s always got that acerbic wit that bests her husband, and the husband is either sort of a hapless dunce with a heart or a hapless dunce without a heart.”
Whittle illustrates the point by contrasting Ward Cleaver of “Leave it to Beaver” with Homer Simpson of “The Simpsons.” PJTV contributor Stephen Kruiser says the TV commercials are even worse than the shows. “They reinforce the children are going to starve if the father doesn’t get them to a fast-food outlet,” he says.
With stereotypes like that being perpetuated, it should not come as a surprise that men do not fare as well as women in the justice system – be it higher conviction rates than women for equal crimes or the assignment of child custody to women in divorce cases. “Our whole welfare state is predicated on the notion that men, that fathers, that husbands are essentially disposable and can be replaced by a paycheck,” comments PJTV contributor Stephen Green.
PJ Media contributor Rhonda Robinson agreed with Whittle’s conclusion that feminism has gone beyond the pursuit of equality for the sexes, such as the right to vote, to actually destroying masculinity so women can be better than men. The turning point, she says, came in 1963 with publication of “The Feminine Mystique” by Betty Friedan.
Today’s feminists want a gender-neutral world, Robinson says. ““They want to ignore the fact that there are differences. Because if [there are] differences, then you have to acknowledge the strengths and weakness of each.”
