Have Women Gone Too Far?

We have seen in the past decade, even longer if one really wants to look at the issue, where women are hell bent on acquiring more power as if they has none before. And, unfortunately, men are more then willing to give up what little power they have left. We see this in politics, in marriage/divorce, in entertainment (TV shows, movies, etc.), and in the world of sex. Question now is as they strive for a Matriarch society, have they gone too far?

The last paragraph in this article is quite telling:

I thought it would take a little longer for the hit squad of privileged young white women to open fire on brown-skinned men. I had assumed that on the basis of intersectionality and all that, they’d stay laser focused on college-educated white men for another few months. But we’re at warp speed now, and the revolution—in many ways so good and so important—is starting to sweep up all sorts of people into its conflagration: the monstrous, the cruel, and the simply unlucky. Apparently there is a whole country full of young women who don’t know how to call a cab, and who have spent a lot of time picking out pretty outfits for dates they hoped would be nights to remember. They’re angry and temporarily powerful, and last night they destroyed a man who didn’t deserve it.
 
I am not going to invest time reading the article, but false accusations or accusations of dubious merit - to the extent they exist - are obviously never acceptable.

There is also great strength in having a clear conscience, in knowing one is innocent of bogus and spurrious claims.

On the broader topic, I am pretty sure the vast majority of women are only interested in being treated equally - at having equality of opportunity in business, politics, science, and society.

I doubt there is some nefarious scheme to put a Kenyan-Marxist matriarchy in place.

Competence and excellence will always be rewarded, irrespective of gender. I don't see what there is to worry about if one is a dude of capability, competence, integrity, self-assuredness, and initiative.

To some extent, yes. In olden days accusations of rape and sexual assault by women were mostly ignored unless it was so grievous as to cause loss to a potential bride's father in her marriageability. Then as now some guys just couldn't keep it in their pants. Now they're fearful of our "power" to report attacks, and the negative public and legal problems following that. Good. Gay men might understand this next bit, but for the most part straight men do not. For thousands of years, and even into *this* century, females have had to be wary and sometimes fearful when venturing out alone. In STL, for instance, I often hiked by myself in the parks on the metro outskirts, or went fishing by myself. There was *never* a time when I was not hyper-aware of my surroundings and who was around, nor was I ever without a weapon of some sort, plus a cell phone. So much for freedom, eh?

As for the rest of the OP, I go to school with young women plus I'm the mother of three of them. Very few young women want to disparage men of any race; we love you guys. The only men who should have anxiety right now are the ones who can't keep it in their pants.
 
The OP should not fear.

As long as women put romance #1 center in their lives instead of their own self worth, men as a whole are quite safe.

Men who cannot act like gentlemen to women (you know, like Trump or Weinstein or Spacey, et al) deserve what they get.

Well said! BTW, so what if there is a matriarchy? What form might it take? Would most males feel emasculated? I wonder why that is. In American history, the Haudenosaunee Federation (Iroquois) had a matriarchal society -- and some of the fiercest warriors the Europeans ever faced. Their governmental structure, led by the women, so impressed the founding fathers that it is said that our own is somewhat patterned after theirs.

You have no business lumping Trump with Hollywood scum like Weinstein and Spacey. It's not Trumps fault women will drop their panties for him.

A good insight, because it really comes down to what we mean by these words, eh? We have a habit of tossing around words without having general agreement on what they mean, or what they would look like in real life. We really need to practice the Socratic method more often than we do.
