A friend recommended I post this:
Please read the entire article, it goes on to how all men are judged guilty until proven innocent, of being "losers", "creeps", "herbivores" (Japanese) and the only way to escape this prejudgement is to go through hoops set up by women, and/or The Powers That Be.
Boy, my friend sure is a losercreepherbivore, isn't he.
But please tell me if I'm wrong.
Please.
For all of human history, there have been families and clans to guide us to adult roles and help us find mates while we’re still young. Anyone would have taken it for granted that in return for their contributions and obedience to the customs of the tribe, the tribe would in turn give them a place.
In mass societies, however, there’s always been a steady stream of losers who get nothing in return. If we tried to imagine a chief denying the tribe’s young men sex and status, we know he wouldn’t be alive much longer. For a tribe to exist in peace the needs of most of its people must be met. When there is no bread, there are bread riots. When men have no hope of wealth, family, or even of getting sex they withdraw their loyalty to the existing social order and turn to desperate measures. Predictably, across time and place, ‘losers’ will defect.
China has long had a class of men called “bare branches” with no prospects. Whenever this class got too large, mass defection was the result—a result we see on a grand scale during the decline of the last dynasty, the Qing. The Taiping rebellion, one of the biggest wars ever, was started by a man who failed to pass the civil service exams after multiple attempts. Even this war was just one of several massive rebellions caused by masses of rootless men. Around the same time, organized crime in south China grew so big it threatened the state itself as desperate men joined in droves.
In the Middle East, a region known for polygamy, there are many loser males. As we see anywhere in the world, when young men despair of being part of society they quickly to turn to desperate measures and radical ideologies.

Helping men find their place and a good woman is the difference between a healthy culture and a pathological cult. The culture reciprocates, enabling its valuable cooperators to thrive. On the other hand, the cult parasitizes, tricking its men into becoming castrated worker ants while the leaders take all the women. The cult elders expect a young man to contribute decades of labor, to march into battle without complaint, but cannot even offer him sex.
If you are past your mid-teens with no family, no sex, no social role is in sight, do not fool yourself—you’re the “lost boys” of the Mormon polygamist splinter sects. The elders are actively malicious towards their boys. Just a few are chosen as successors, the rest cast out like unwanted pets. The polygamist elders at least are straightforward and honest. They send away boys they don’t want into another society that just might give them a chance. They don’t lead them on for decades lying to them while feeding on their labor and loyalty.
When the tribe throws out a young man to live as a stray animal, he can no longer pretend he’s one of them. Their traditional food, pastimes, language, and values become those of a distant and foreign culture.
