The sociologist Kathryn Edin spent five years talking with low-income mothers in the inner suburbs of Philadelphia. Many of these neighborhoods, she found, had turned into matriarchies, with women making all the decisions and dictating what the men should and should not do. “I think something feminists have missed,” Edin told me, “is how much power women have” when they’re not bound by marriage. The women, she explained, “make every important decision”—whether to have a baby, how to raise it, where to live. “It’s definitely ‘my way or the highway,’” she said. “Thirty years ago, cultural norms were such that the fathers might have said, ‘Great, catch me if you can.’ Now they are desperate to father, but they are pessimistic about whether they can meet her expectations.” The women don’t want them as husbands, and they have no steady income to provide. So what do they have?

“Nothing,” Edin says. “They have nothing. The men were just annihilated in the recession of the ’90s, and things never got better. Now it’s just awful.”
Translation: it's okay if she doesn't have a job, but not okay if he doesn't have a job.

This is what modern feminism has brought us to, folks. A man who is jobless or poor is useless... unlike women.
Overall, 75 percent of women said they would be unlikely to date an unemployed man, with 33 percent saying no outright. Another 42 percent of women answered maybe when asked about the possibility of dating an unemployed man. That answer, however, came with the stipulation that those women would not want to spend a lot of time in the relationship if the man did not have a plan in place. Just 21 percent of women said they would date an unemployed man.

-----------------------------------

On the other hand, the prospect of dating an unemployed woman was not a problem for nearly two-thirds of men. In fact, 19 percent of men said they had no reservations and 46 percent of men said they were positive they would date an unemployed woman.

Feminists now say that men are obsolete.
When I speak at public universities with commuter populations about the disappearance of men, the women find what I am saying to be totally obvious, like the sky is blue and Miley Cyrus is whacked. The working class feels the end of men the most, as men lose their jobs and lose their will to be fathers, and women do everything alone, creating a virtual matriarchy in the parts of the country that used to be bastions of good old macho country music style values. Why don’t these women marry or live with the fathers of their children? As many a woman told me, “He’d be just another mouth to feed.”
A jobless woman is, of course, not seen in feminist OR "patriarchal" :rolleyes: society as another mouth to feed.

There is a mountain of evidence - and absolutely nothing to counter it - that modern feminism doesn't want equality. It wants men to be even more expendable than ever before. When men can't keep up, women in general - in fact, 75% of women - are happy to discard them.

So, male feminists, do you see yourselves as expendable?
 
Male feminists are exactly like the 1960's hippies that showed up to the peace rallies. They figured go where the hippie chicks are and try to get laid.
 

Some other Jezebel author Scalzi maybe? was embroiled in similar controversy. Using anti-male rhetoric cynically to get laid. I don't have any sympathy for the women the two of them conned. My dad used to say you can't cheat an honest man. People that are taken advantage of are vulnerable because they hope to take advantage of others.
