Women rejecting all men
Women in several countries are responding to arrogant right-wing
misogynous men
by rejecting
all men, for sex or for love.
In a place where abortion and birth control are restricted, it is
obviously rational for women to reject penis-in-vagina sex with men
(except when they seek to get pregnant). This doesn't require
rejecting all lovemaking, but that is what these women are doing.
The misogynists will deserve such rejection, but what will happen to
the young men who yearn for kind and tender love with a woman? They
will well know that life makes that as unlikely as winning the
lottery. They may join the misogynists only because no other path
proclaims itself as offering any hope.
Sensitive men will see that misogyny is a path to a dead end of
twisted hatred, not a path to happiness. But when they reject that
path, where could they go instead? They won't see any good path --
only despair.
With women hating them sight unseen, trying to be kind and considerate
won't be enough to give men an opportunity for love. Even to learn
what constitutes "kind and considerate" requires feedback from someone
prepared to appreciate you when you make progress, and misandrists
will form a solid wall against that.
I am so sad for the men and for the women.
