The New Feminist Scare Word: "Mankeeping"

Apparently, being emotionally available to your partner is now a form of unpaid labor. In a bizarre twist of linguistic perversion, "mankeeping" describes what used to be called intimacy: listening to your husband, caring when he’s distressed, offering him support.

The sheer gall: women complain that men don’t open up, and then when they do, it’s framed as emotional parasitism.

Men Being Lonely, Depressed, or Suicidal? Yet Another Burden Women Have to “Carry!”

Feminists dismantled every male-only institution and shamed men for “abandoning” domestic labor. Now, when men are stripped of all other outlets for companionship and turn to their wives, the response is: “Ugh, the nerve!” Even the suggestion “why don’t you go hang out with the guys?” is too much effort. She declares herself emotionally burdened.

The problem is that there is no version of masculinity that modern feminism will ever accept. The goalpost keeps shifting because they simply hate men.

Projection in Plain Sight

Is there a wife alive who doesn’t offload every minor panic, every grocery-list worry, every imaginary scenario onto her husband? Men simply accept that being with a woman means constant handholding of her neuroticism, without complaint.

Women like this enter relationships with a baseline resentment toward men. Assuming the fault lies with him, she molds him in her own feminist image hoping it will treat what she feels deep inside. She’s trained to overvalue her own contributions while judging anything he brings to the table as the bare minimum. How entitled and hateful must you be to rebrand the basic human closeness of marriage as a power struggle?
