Why Are Women Being Educated?

I did not even know such men existed until Polly mentioned it.

Are you kidding? Most men are Betas. Or worse Gammas.

I think it's a subset of the broadly defined "men's movement", which is supposed to be the average guy's answer to "feminism". This guy seems to belong to the subset of the men's movement who longs for the bygone era of categorical female subservience to men. He has some videos talking about the women of Ukraine and other eastern European countries because they are more consistent with the traditional conception of women as being housewives and mothers. Like a lot of social movements, there is some element of truth to what they're saying, but a lack of nuance prevents people from taking it too seriously. Because while I agree that third-wave feminism has some bizarre and unsettling elements, I'm not ready to run around playing the victim and whining about women getting educations. I don't feel victimized by women and never have. Ironically enough, this guy is not acting like an "alpha" at all.

No, I mean men's rights activists or whatever they call themselves.

They aren't alphas. Or sigmas.

I have read a little about the men's movement but what I read made it sound so...well not masculine. Anyway, yes, there is some truth to the views you describe and as you know I share them.

Ironically enough, being a "men's rights activist" strikes me as being very feminine.

Could fill in for Al Qaeda though judging by the looks of that guy.

lol

Exactly.

Their chosen method to combat feminism is to act more like women.

I wonder if this irony has ever occured to them.

My problem with it is that it simply duplicates the socially destructive aspects of feminism. That's not a very effective countermeasure.
