Roni, Thanks for being a force for good in the world and advocating for men (my sons, daughters, grandsons and grand daughters) thank you as well.) Please keep up the good work. Blessings for 2025 and beyond.
Thanks for creating this video. I'm a therapist who specializes in traumatology, and work often with men who have survived trauma, but also with those who have not been mentored or taught how to be masculine in any capacity. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and if boys are taught that they matter, and how to pursue masculinity in a virtuous, ambitious way, the current male mental health crisis can be remedied.
The big picture facing men also needs to be addressed. Congress created the Office of Women's Health in 1994, but ignored male health both back then and ever since. There are 4 times more male suicides than female suicides, but no federal program exists to address that.
Men have been weakened by decades of feminism. Strong men will not come from a society that caters to man-hating feminism, and discriminates against men at every bend in the road. You can start by telling your Congressman to get government programs to help men.
Thank you for this! It is refreshing to hear this from a woman who understands that men and women are meant to collaborate and not be at war.
The concept of Patriarchy is a synthetic construct by Marxism reloaded or reinvented for the XXI century, expanded through Woke Ideology through various intersectionality categories designed to categorize everyone as Oppressors and Oppressed. Men vs. Women, Patriarchy. Heterosexual vs. Homosexual, Heteronormative. White vs. Black, Racism, and so on.
We need to stop this narrative if we want to end the cultural wars tearing up our societies. We need societies built on basic principles, equality under the law, and rights to life, freedom, and private property. Basic standards of performance and meritocracy should determine the outcomes in life. Men need Women as much as Women need Men. We are different, and while we should recognize these differences, we must also understand that we share common values and should discuss good ideas with common sense.
Thank you! So happy you were able to leave Academia, but also stayed long enough to see what is going on. Your compassion for the situation boys and men find themselves in is needed, received and welcomed. I am in my mid 50s... I remember telling my middle school friends back in the 70s/80s that something was wrong.... That as boys, we were walking apologies. They laughed it off and said I was being too sensitive, but it was all around us back then. When I approached my mother and step mother about it, they also laughed it off and said I was being too sensitive, that the male bashing it was all in fun.... That I needed to grow a thicker skin. I determined later that as a young boy, I was diagnosing the disease that was infecting us and is now fully integrated into our society. Admittedly, I am not sure how we get past this, as multiple generations of boys and girls have been seriously impacted and no one in positions of true power seems to care about the wellbeing of boys and men. Your work and that of a few others who actually aren't wearing blinders is a start. Thanks again.
Strong men don't magically appear. They have to be encouraged to be strong from boyhood. We live in an age of single mother households, and mostly female school teachers, where encouraging boys does not take place. The big corporations and globalists sponsored feminists, to double the supply of labor and reduce wages, and deliberately weakened men in the process. The generation of men that stormed the beaches of Normandy would never have tolerated the carnage now taking place - and the globalists that sponsored feminism knew that and planned accordingly.
You make good points, but you left out the rampant dismissal of men, and discrimination against men, that comes from the broader culture, and especially the Left.. The Democrats have funded women's health, but ignored men's health. They created the Violence Against Women Act by ignoring the evidence that women batter men as often as the converse. Boys begin lagging in schools because female teachers favor the girls. It wasn't that long ago that daughters were taken to work, while sons were left behind to receive feminist shaming and indoctrination. Biden gave $100,000,000 for a White House women's health research initiative, and ZERO dollars for men's health. In the old days, young men would get jobs through fraternal clubs like the Lion's Club and Elk's Club, but feminists invaded them back in the late 1960s.
Odd this stuff never enters the conversation, isn't it? Then we talk, endlessly, about trauma and mental health issues, etc. Seems just a tad bass ackwards, no?

I’m tired of women speaking for men instead of to them.
Agreed. She needs to tell feminists that created weakness in men to piss off.
it's fine... left the US and did well in Asia. never looked back. welcomed with open arms in Asia.
watching America slide into decay with utter indifference.... served my country, country told me to go fuck off. funny little world.

I completely agree with you
We are living in a time where the family unit is being destroyed. Men are just as important as women.
You go from saying we need strong men, to discussing “toxic masculinity”. Insulting men and masculinity weakens men.

Just be what one is. Stand on one’s own feet. Stand alone.
I think your Substack title should be Just Plain Fouks.

You are absolutely right. The Left also likes to talk about "masculinities", while ignoring the issues that men face.
Its all a bit disingenuous isnt it? And most of the 'talking' is done by women.
