'Toxic masculinity' fear, media portrayal as 'fools' contributing to men leaving workforce

[Mr. Friscus]

Men cause 90% of violent crimes, murders and wars. It isn't good. It is really sad I'd say.

They also created the entire civilization you take for granted

So-called "men" who have issues with cats usually have serious issues with women.

Yes, both women and cats think they own us merely by rubbing their tails against us. I guess they haven't noticed that we shower just as soon as the fun is over with.

Most Liberal men are captives in one way or another. They have to tolerate extreme hatred of their gender ........

... generally referred to as "The Stockholm syndrome".

Some Liberal men are literal victims of abuse who understand that if they try to break away, they will be falsely accused and prosecuted.

Tell me about it. I'm from Sweden where liberal men (about 95% of the male population) are victims of self-inflicted mental castration. At the last gathering we went to I brought up the difference between men and women and as I looked around the table I saw every man drop his head and stare at the tablecloth. I AM NOT JOKING. Note also that the little point I was making was in praise of women's ability with regard to a certain subject. Had I spoken in favour of men they would have to send everyone home and lock the door.

That's called cringing. People do it when they see someone embarrassing themselves.

No, that's called "fear". George Orwell & Franz Kafka wrote a lot about that.

Where are men leaving the workforce? And if a few how is it an issue when there's more than enough in the workforce to begin with?

Commentary: From plumbers to electricians, the US is gasping for skilled workers

There is a terrible shortage of people who fix things. I am thinking of electricians, plumbers, glaziers, auto mechanics and many more skilled workers who keep life livable and society

Economists are predicting a slowdown in labor market activity in the U.S. in 2023 due to a likely recession, a continued battle with inflation, more layoffs and higher unemployment. But data shows the far greater concern is demographics.

Employers do a poor job of attracting people.

That's absolutely right.

The people around you aren't biting their tongues and staying silent because there's no point in engaging the crazy man. They're not saying, after you leave, "Can you believe what that dipshit said?", and then laughing hard about it together.

No, you clearly cowed them into submission with your manly logic. That's the only possible explanation. Really it is. You go with that.

You should be ashamed of making such ridiculous statements on a subject that you know absolutely nothing about.
