I'm told I'm a member of the patriarchy. I didn't run for the job, win a contest, nor do much of anything really. It was enough to be born with patriarchal plumbing. Contrary to popular belef, I don't get out of bed, stretch, and say, "I love the smell of sexism in the morning. I'm rarin' to trod me down some wimmen folk today." I've missed a few lodge meetings, but I don't think that's common for many of my clubmates either.I'm told I'm a member of the patriarchy. I didn't run for the job, win... more

men are now behind women in pay in major cities, behind in percentage of college and grad school student bodies, and they make up a much larger percentage of those losing jobs in the bad economy. Plus, women are now getting most of the jobs teaching math, science, and engineering. And all of that’s aside from the large and growing percentage of single mother American households with kids with no male father figure in their lives. That’s almost every indicator of the road to matriarchy (and to collapse), and I blame most of that on unbridled feminism in all areas of our society and pop culture and estrogen-targeted affirmative action preferences.
There’s just one thing left: physical prowess and sports activity. And, now, that’s changing, too. Although women, on average, are not and won’t likely be stronger or more proficient than men, they are dominating amateur athletics. I’ve been reading about it and the figures were stark in a story in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal about Lululemon, the hip, expensive yoga and exercise clothes company which is thriving in the recession and the stock price of which is soaring.
Women have come to eclipse men as participants in other types of amateur athletics. In 2009, for instance, 53% of road-race finishers in the U.S. were women, according to Running USA, an industry-sponsored research center.
It’s feminism run amok ad absurdum. The ghost of “Ugly Betty” (Friedan) is laughing at us from whatever hell to which NOW members go when they meet their maker, but he really doesn’t wanna meet them.
That, too, is in part based on Title IX affirmative action and phony tough-chick-kicks-guys-ass movies, etc. But another aspect is that mothers aren’t home to take care of their kids and send them outside to play. They’re at work, and their kids–especially the boys–are sitting in front of the TV watching MTV reality show BS or being gamers in front of video games all day long, after school. Or they’re on Facebook 24/7.
But physical activity–sports and exercise–are disappearing for boys. It’s scary.
There are few areas left in American society not dominated by women. And that’s not a good thing. Like I said, matriarchies never last. And they always end in disaster. That’s not good for men OR women. Sorry, but I went the men to be the men in our society, not the women to be the men.
But it looks like that’s where America is headed. Don’t look for women in cool exercise gear to pick up the pieces.
The question is: when it’s all over, will there be any real men with testosterone left to bring us back from the edge?men are now behind women in pay in major cities, behind in percentage of college and... more

Karen Kaplan, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer, writes on a 5-year study of bonobos by Germany's Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology.
During the study, scientists observed female bonobos "capturing, killing and eating young monkeys in the lowland evergreen forests of Salonga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo."
Chimpanzees and bonobos are the closest relatives to humans.
"Chimpanzees were the only nonhuman primate species known to hunt monkeys, and scientists had surmised that the jaunts were an elaborate male-bonding exercise... but because bonobo society is dominated by females, researchers had figured that their peaceful demeanor made them disinclined to hunt prey larger than squirrels, rodents and duikers, a small antelope species."
Kaplan writes that "[t]he discovery undermines the conventional wisdom that hunting among primates is an outgrowth of male dominance and aggression, according to a study published Tuesday in the journal Current Biology."
