WOW your writing took my breath away. The passion that is so tangible.

In my position, it has been almost impossible to find other people to act as thought buddies, people who I can bounce ideas and concepts off of so that issues can be explored and unpacked.

I suspect that this a problem that many men experience, take for example Warren Farrell first book "Why Men are the Way they Are",

It did my head in, I found it to be obtuse and convoluted with poorly formed ideas and arguments, but it was a beginning. Sadly though many author who followed have yet to unpack the concepts, arguments effectively enough.

This I suspect is a result of poorly conducted research into the male gender. Especially when the research was conducted by asking women about men's experiences, rather than asking men themselves.

Jordan Kosberg ".Social work has been a woman's profession. The vast majority of social workers have been and are women" (Weick, 2000, p. 395). Indeed, this is true. However, social work clients are not only females. Despite this, social work literature is female-oriented and provides a negative view of heterosexual males."

But not only was the research inhibited, the formation of "Men's awareness groups" within university campuses was also inhibited, in fact they were strongly opposed.

What happened to Neil Lyndon is a cautionary tale of the power of "Relational Aggression" that is so effectively used to shut people down.

For decades Micheal Flood has also been pushing the narrative that also excuse the damaging effect the feminist narrative has had. Romanticising the idea that somehow a millennia of biological evolution can be over ridden in a few short years.
