Today's Feminist society subjects boys to its dysfunctional view of masculinity. Even though males are naturally smarter, stronger, faster, more capable and more competent than women (as history and common sense prove), it's still considered heresy to even think, let alone voice such obvious gender differences. Instead, boys must endure a constant verbal and visual assault on their innate capability and gender identity.

While Feminism encourages plain-looking girls with age-old sentiments like, beauty is only skin deep, it exercises little conscience when vilifying young boys for sport. Accusations of small penis size, mommy issues, and violent tendencies are all fair game for Feminism's systematic mockery of masculinity.

Mainstream media portrays men as incompetent, sexually depraved fools, desperately seeking the approval of women. Sitcoms and other television shows condition impressionable boys to consider this a normal experience for males. Being outwitted and outperformed by females becomes an expectation. Even in schools, boys are told girls mature faster. Male social immaturity is stressed while female mental prowess is exaggerated. Girls' faults are accepted. Boys' inadequacies are magnified. The message is clear: girls are more valuable than boys.

Growing up, countless young men have been ill advised to just be yourself. Even as a good intention, this advice proves useless because their self is the problem. Years of poor social conditioning under Feminism have reduced these men to a conglomeration of conflicting rules, unrealistic ideals, and unhealthy, unattractive social behaviors. Treating women with respect, obeying them at any cost and expecting Disney movie results prove to be ineffective dating strategies.

Being themselves doesn't solve what society's already done to damage their identity. Lacking competent mentors or a guiding vision of what constitutes proper masculine expression, our culture has molded these men into the impotent Nice Guy model. They perpetually waste their time, money, effort, and attention on females who never reciprocate. This earns them the best friend label while their romantic interests go ignored. Girls claim to love their behavior but never view these types of men in a sexual context.

Emasculated males grow up to become role models to future generations of unsuspecting boys. They use their positions of social and economic influence to foster the cycle of emasculation. In Steve Harvey's best-selling book Act Like a Lady, Think Like Man, the issue of cheating is portrayed as an exclusively male shortcoming rather than the result of a problematic relationship. Discussion of female accountability is almost non-existent. Feminist political and legal policies (e.g. Obama's Council on Women & Girls17 and Biden's VAWA laws18) are then used to enforce these social and economic agendas.

Emasculated males also perpetuate this condition by constantly validating dysfunctional female behavior. By accommodating, justifying, and excusing how women treat them, these men ensure the continuation of this cycle.

Those few men who do demand respectful treatment from women are ridiculed and dismissed as disgruntled misogynists. Dysfunctional women are at liberty to refuse male authority when emasculated men outnumber functional men by the thousands. Women know that for every authoritative man who refuses to accommodate their problematic behavior, there are a thousand emasculated men willing to offer unmerited, unconditional validation.

Women receive access to thousands of female-focused support networks built into this Feminist culture. On TV shows like Oprah, women can discuss with impunity any sexual issues, no matter how graphic. They also find acceptance for their weight issues, despite their indulgent lifestyles. And consolation for male insensitivity is just an advice column away, regardless of their incompetent relationship skills. In a Feminist's world, self-absolution is a vaccine administered to prevent the onset of reality.

Gender bias infiltrates publicly funded education systems where it should be least welcome. The practice of funding gender-biased courses like Women's Studies and Psychology of Women while not offering a male equivalent has been sanctioned by the Feminist legal system.19 Essentially, the federal government has unconstitutionally permitted the states to focus solely on women at the expense of true gender equality.

It seems no public institution is immune to Feminism's dangerous influence. President Barak Obama himself signed an executive order creating the unconstitutional White House Council on Women and Girls. The accompanying press release stated one of the goals of the council is Improving women's economic security by ensuring that each of the (cabinet-level) agencies is working to directly improve the economic status of women. Again, economic support is unfairly funneled to women while men's economic status is continually neglected. These policies unjustly undermine the civil rights of men.
