Bad News for Men – Two Recent Articles

Women gain as men lose jobs – USA TODAY

Of course women are more sympathetic to socialism…

The only parts of the economy still growing — health care, education and government — have traditionally hired mostly women. That dominance has increased in part because federal stimulus funding directed money to education, health care and state and local governments.

From a truly disturbing article in USA Today. I’ve been hearing that men were bearing the brunt of the recession, but I had no idea that it was quite this disproportionate. 74% of the people who lost their jobs from December 2007 to June 2009 were men. And of course, some dumb feminist still isn’t satisfied, because:

The change reflects the growing importance of women as wage earners, but it doesn’t show full equality, Hartmann says. On average, women work fewer hours than men, hold more part-time jobs and earn 77% of what men make, she says. Men also still dominate higher-paying executive ranks.

“Full equality” would require men to have babies and stay home to nurse them. Which would be fine with feminists who demand that “equality” be gauged by equal results instead of equal opportunity. The only way to produce equal results would be to eliminate the stay at home mom completely and have all children raised by day care providers (another job dominated by women, for obvious reasons).

Why do so many women work part time? Because they want to. My sister works part time, because she has two boys, and she goes into her old job “just to get out of the house.” My mother works part time, because she can. I’m glad they’re doing what they’re doing.

What would a society that is dying look like? Production jobs would decrease, while care taking and institutional jobs would grow. We’re literally checking Western Civilization into a nursing home so it can die slowly as its shrinking population of young people are taxed more and more to pay for the care. Globalism’s bad, m’kay? A country that produces nothing and imports everything is utterly dependent on the rest of the world. And obviously, its men will suffer the most.

“Unemployment among men isn’t going to last forever,” says University of Chicago economist Casey Mulligan. “People will move from construction and manufacturing to industries that are creating new jobs.”

So all of the tradesmen are going to become nurses and bureaucrats? The future’s so bright, I gotta wear shades.

Outlawing Manhood- Human Events

Last week, Whalen, a Lansingburgh High School Senior who plans to enter the Army’s West Point Academy after graduating, received a 5-day suspension from the Lansingburgh Central School District board on the grounds that his pocketknife — locked in a survival kit which was locked in his car — violated the district’s “Zero Tolerance” policy.

After reviewing the board’s judgment, Lansingburgh Central School District Superintendent George J. Goodwin added another 15 days to the suspension on October 14, 2009, saying he believes a 20-day suspension is “appropriate and fair.”

[...]

Did I mention that in addition to being an Eagle Scout and aspiring to West Point, Whalen also has a “Life-Saving Heroism” award he received from the Boy Scouts “for performing CPR on his aunt after she had a seizure”? The kid is a certified hero.”

Goodwin is an enemy of men, and he’s part of the cancer that’s killing America. Read the article and shame him.

Goodwin’s office number is  (518) 233-6850 and his e-mail as ggoodwin@lansingburgh.org

   I second the Happy Birthday. The root-nut question remains: is this Land of the Freak and Home of The Slave ready for a First Compadre?
