Ask Dr. Helen: Is This Election Causing More Male Bashing?
Is it open season on men this election year? I have noticed an upswing in the amount of blatant male bashing going on in the media and blogs as of late. Let me give you a few examples.
First, there is a pathetic article from the health section of the New York Times. “If the Boss is Young and Male, Watch Out,” written by Tara Parker-Pope, is about a study (conducted by a man) of the “problems” associated with having a young male boss. Why the negative, snide title by Parker-Pope indicating her hostility towards men in general? She wouldn’t dare put up the same title about having a female boss; that would be sacrilegious, of course.
In yet another bit of obvious male-bashing News-Sentinel blogger Katie Allison Granju has a post entitled “Teenage boys are stupid,” in which she attributes male idiocy to all young men based on the actions of one young man who killed a classmate at school. This young man has a sister who is on the run for murder, yet I never saw a similar article by Granju with the title “Teenage girls are stupid.” As commenters pointed out, she knew good and well that there were no consequences for saying the former and that she could possibly get fired or catch real heat for saying the latter. Somehow, these women don’t think angry male commenters count. As men become more organized against this type of prejudice, this will change.
Finally, much to my dismay, financial adviser Suze Orman now seems to be on a bender against men. Since her show is on CNBC, a network with strong male demographics, she usually tries to control herself when it comes to bashing men (although I have seen some subtle digs on her show such as when she tells men to help women with their money problems in ways that she rarely advises women to do for men).
However, on last week’s show, she had guest Judge Judy on to talk about prenups, co-signing loans, and women and money. Unfortunately, the two began discussing how women are always getting stuck with their husbands’ loans and bills because women are “too nice.” Apparently, Orman believes that men don’t pay the bills and then ride off into the sunset, abandoning women to avoid paying their fair share.
If Ms. Orman bothered to check her facts, she would find that the majority of child support and alimony is paid by the male gender. Women are more likely to be “deadbeat parents” than men. So men are hardly walking away from the bills in record numbers.
On another show, My Life on the D-List, I watched as comedienne Kathy Griffin went to discuss her finances with Orman. As she entered Orman’s office, Griffin told a male staffer that he darn well better open the door for her. He was there to serve her while Orman accused him of having “no masculinity left” later on during a meeting. The emasculated male staffer simply grinned and agreed with whatever they said. I nearly threw up before changing the channel. I wonder why, all of a sudden, Orman is getting her panties in a wad over men. Has the election made her more bold or more likely to attack or belittle men?
That made me wonder why the male bashing seems to have intensified around this election. I have a few theories, although none of them seem to explain everything.
It’s not “Dr. Helen,” it’s St. Helen. Your work in this area is astute, important, and, due to your sex, far more valuable than mine. I salute you as should all sensible persons.
Dr. Helen, I’m not sure that the male bashing has gotten any worse, but I do have a theory that some on the left side of the spectrum are more disgruntled by the appearance of a very woman-ly woman who naturally can play better with men. In one of my own blog posts from a couple weeks ago I wrote this:
“True womanliness is more inspiring to true manliness than all the self help books in the world combined. And make no mistake, this country needs a resurgence of MANLINESS.
“Men have, for too long, been the butt of feminist jokes. They have been marginalized, treated as second class citizens – despised by ex-wives, maligned as buffoons, subjected to derision and reduced to apathetic and pitiful creatures.
“Will a woman – a strong, feminine woman, help to restore their manhood?”
While we all occasionally make the silly, generalizing comments and jokes about the men in our lives, I recognized early on (actually was taught by my mother) that to maliciously treat anyone, particularly someone you profess to love, can bring about a self-fulfilling prophecy. It’s much better to build up – and more challenging – than to tear down.
Is male-bashing in the culture a variation on the “Hate America First” theme?
The currency is all about men.
The founding sagas of the country are all about men.
The woman who was the orthodox feminist choice for first female POTUS had been the one who played largely by the mens’ rules.
A thought.
Am wondering whether there’s any connection with these findings reported in the NYT last week:
“Dr. Schmitt, a psychologist at Bradley University in Illinois and the director of the International Sexuality Description Project, suggests that as wealthy modern societies level external barriers between women and men, some ancient internal differences are being revived” …
“Men in traditional agricultural societies and poorer countries seem more cautious and anxious, less assertive and less competitive than men in the most progressive and rich countries of Europe and North America.
“To explain these differences, Dr. Schmitt and his collaborators from Austria and Estonia point to the hardships of life in poorer countries. They note that in some other species, environmental stress tends to disproportionately affect the larger sex and mute costly secondary sexual characteristics (like male birds’ displays of plumage). And, they say, there are examples of stress muting biological sex differences in humans. For instance, the average disparity in height between men and women isn’t as pronounced in poor countries as it is in rich countries, because boys’ growth is disproportionately stunted by stresses like malnutrition and disease” . . .
“If he and Dr. Schmitt are right, then men and women shouldn’t expect to understand each other much better anytime soon. Things could get confusing if the personality gap widens further as the sexes become equal. But then, maybe it was that allure of the mysterious other that kept Mars and Venus together so long on the savanna.”
Please…we can take it. Besides I like powerful abusing women. I often have fantasies involving Xena…
Full Metal Cynic,
It is fine if you can “take it.” The problem, however, is that the acceptance of male bashing trickles down to young boys who sit in classrooms where bashing and making snide comments about their gender is seen as acceptable. It affects boys in ways that we should be concerned about, even if they pretend not to show it. We have told young girls and women for decades that they can do anything they want and told young boys that they are oppressors and possibly (or probably) rapists. How does this affect them emotionally and behaviorally? Probably not well. Even Newsweek had a recent article about a new study that says parents are right to worry about their sons:
http://www.newsweek.com/id/157898
It is part of the lefts on going goal of making men into women. That is why they support gays, hate any kind of contact sports, anything that enables a man to defend his family or himself, unless of course, he’s black. Then it’s okay and reinforced from every possible direction.
And best of all, courts require him to pay for his own demise.
That is the whole election in a nut shell. Vote obama because he’s black ( only half white ) and vote for hillary because she’s a woman who hates men.
It could not be any plainer than that.
I did not read the Newsweek article (I gave up on “news” magazines decades ago), but the most vile impact this misandry has on society is what happens down the road after young boys are told in no uncertain terms that they are unneeded, unwanted, and most likely the cause of the world’s ills. Once you accept your destiny, all that remains is to live up–or down–to it.
You show me an abusive man and I’ll bet dollars to donuts that his mother was a serious head case. If these male-bashing women think they’re doing the planet a favor, just watch their sons 20 years from now. And their daughters will be divorce cases waiting to happen. Human relationships devoid of love, respect and trust produce nothing meritorious. Denigrate any portion of human society and it will respond in kind.
I think it is worse this election cycle because their has been much about gender politics this time around. Now that this is a reality of Presidential tickets, I would guess we will see it in the natonal political arena all the time now. Will it bleed over? Probably at least a bit. But what goes on in general for boys in school up until men probably doesn’t change all that much, though the face of it may change.
What you mentioned about organizing as a gender probably won’t happen because there is too much potential downside. Making enemies of women isn’t the best course, and most guys realize this and/or are forced to understand it by women, so? We tend to simply take ourselves and go. All the stories about how men don’t grow up, how they don’t engage, how they don’t decide to get married when they should etc. are told from the woman’s perspective.
It’s a simple thing really, but honed from long years of dealing with someone who wants you to be strong and manly, and yet sensitive… The winning move is not to play the game.
Helen, thank you for answering FMC, because that misplaced chivalry is one of the cornerstones of the problem. We’ll deal effectively with this problem once men finally figure out how dysfunctional and morally wrong that kind of chivalry really is.
As far as vulnerability of boys goes, I have to point out that boys from strong families have some resistance and immunity to this kind of social propaganda, but the ones from weaker families are far more vulnerable. In particular, African-American boys have almost no resistance to negative messages that they receive at school. It’s a triple-whammy for them; they have no support from home, they have negative stereotypes and expectation due to their race, and on top of that, they’re further pummeled for being born with a penis.
Is it any wonder that so few survive school with any sense of self intact? What the gender feminists need to be made to account for is their role in exacerbating the beating that black males take to their self-concept. And the consequences are tangible and obvious; for every black male in college, there are two black females. This is a formula for social disaster.
Make no mistake: the more the gender feminists beat up on males in general, the more the black males take the tangible damage disproportionately.
I believe this is a symptom of the disgruntled Hillary feminists. Their gal got dissed by a young black male. Racial affirmative action trumped gender affirmative action.
But they can’t complain about racial affirmative action. Being racist against whites is a Democratic cornerstone. So they have to focus on the messiah’s gender. Ergo the anti-male sentiment.
Actually, its the baby killing, homocentric, man hating feminists who have been exposed and have taken the biggest hit.
Thank you Barry and thank you Sarah! LOL

Do you think an uptick in “man bashing” might be in response to the “woman bashing” of Sarah Palin? If some women in the media feel that it’s open season on a woman (Sarah Palin and/or Hillary Clinton) they might be less constrained about letting loose on men. Sort of like a food fight in a middle school cafeteria when everyone starts slinging the mashed potatoes.
“In particular, African-American boys have almost no resistance to negative messages that they receive at school. ”
That’s because the term african American is a sepratist name rather than black . You perpetuate that division by misusing the name. It denotes a person directly from Africa that has come to America. For the record, most of the people that I know who truly are African Americans are white.
Africa is a continent, not a race.
America is a country based on ideals of freedom. The pursuit of happiness and prosperity is what unites us all as Americans. America is not a race, North American continet is not a race, do you understand?
You have to stop.
You have to stop contributing to the division and focus on the union.
Do that and politcal correctness and the cancer that it is, dies.
It also removes people like obammy and billary from polluting the process.
Then we can start focusing on real issues, not freaking egos that everyone is afraid to confront.
Not that there is anything wrong with it, but isn’t Suze Orman involved in a long standing relationship with a female partner? Might that have a bearing on her attitude toward men? Straight bashing occurs too, I’ve noticed.
According to U of Chicago Divinity School’s woman professor: Palin was not a woman, she wouldn’t kill her “defected” baby.
Like feminist of certain stripe, Obama has no problems killing unwanted babies. Ergo, Obama is more woman than Palin.
Thus, man bashing is Palin bashing, no?

The current attitude is the inevitable result of the progression of liberal feminism which doesn’t believe in female equality, but in female power and posits that that power must come at the expense of male power. Men therefore become the enemy.

[All that is necessary for evil to prevail is for good men to do NOTHING!]
Dr. Helen, this male-bashing is due to a lot of single women. More than in any other time, America’s women are unmarried. A Married woman, particularly with sons, cannot afford male-bashing and will stop when she can, because she’s invested in her husband’s success and her son’s as well. Similar to how men who are married will stifle misogyny.
Single women HATE HATE HATE “beta” men, i.e. men who are not high in testosterone, status, and power. They abuse them whenever they can, because they resent beta men’s attention, which might displace that of a powerful, dominant man.
Hang around any single women, chatting, who are observing “beta” men, that is most men who are no socially dominant and exuding confidence. You’ll soon hear how much they really loathe and despise these men.
This has nothing to do with politics, it is simply how unmarried women who deeply desire dominant men feel and act.

Chuck after reading the above post you wrote I am very upset you forgot to post a phrase after your name. /sadface
Women think men have two big faults; everything they say and everything they do. As a man I can’t please them so I do as I want. This saves alot of mental anguish. Bash away ladies.
I’m surprised no one has mentioned affirmative action and quotas as the underlying reason for male-bashing in the US. Affirmative action seeks to find victims of white male racism or sexism (and now we will be adding Islamophobia). Affirmative action (i.e., racial and sexual profiling) reinforces a sense of righteous chip-on-the-shoulder victimhood where my group is being cheated somehow, somewhere. Therefore, if my victim group is losing or if my sense of myself is threatened in any way by a white male, who is unable to defend himself for fear of being called a racist or sexist, I can attack him without remorse or fear or reprisal. And if the white male is either my social equal or inferior so much the better.
I assume many watched the 911 documentary on the History Channel over the weekend. Nine folks with access to video cameras recorded what they saw. In support of a statement made above by Chuck Pelto, concerning the immediate crash and burn of feminism in response to a catastrophe, it was interesting to watch women fall to pieces as the magnitude of what happened sank in. Hysterics, fainting – and of course, being helped by men.
The facade (a superficial appearance or illusion of something) blows off like aluminum siding in a wind storm.
Let them bash for now- those insignificant feminist hypocrites.
I Being a man never did trust Judge Judy. She has her facts wrong. Divorce courts are raping good men of their livelyhood to benefit female dogs. Men build them homes, they kick you out with the help of the State. She should know better being in her position. What does one expect from a hypocrite feminist-honesty?
Feminists will pay for their wicked hypocricy. In those days Men should never forget how they were/are being treated.
Feminists will beg for male protection & provision in a time of a soon to be reality crisis. Your big daddy government will not be there simply because too many priorities to handle. & May none be granted these dogs. Only good women along with children should get these priviliges.

[Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not. -- Isaac Asimov]
Feminism will last one millisecond after a global catastrophe???
In my experience, it collapses with the approach of a local problem.
If women solve the problem–see the women in combat, for example–they do it as men would do it.
But they aren’t whining, or telling men to take their patriarchal oppression elsewhere when it’s something more pressing than holding a door.
Things were going OK until:
“It seems that some “feminists” have turned into the worst caricature of the chauvinistic pig that they once said they despised. It’s funny that if they looked in the mirror, they would now see that man staring back at them.”
I am sorry, Dr. Helen, but they would not see that man staring back at them. They would see themselves- women, in all their repugnant ugliness and hypocrisy. To assert otherwise is to presume the false hypothesis feminism was founded upon, and denigrates men.

RE: Collapse
You mean as in lifting heavy objects?

Chuck(le)
[If you would lift me up you must be on higher ground. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson]
P.S. I’ve heard some feminists claim they want to lift men out of their sunken state. Seems that a number of them, as mentioned by Dr. Helen, are not on so high a ground to accomplish that.
Feminizm has always been like this. I can recommend reading the following books, for those men (forget women) who want to understand how themselves and women tick:
1. “Brain Sex” by Jessel and Moir
2. “The Woman Racket” by Moxon (very good book which explains hardcore research on the biology behind men’s and women’s behaviors – this is not a sociological book, it’s based on facts).
3. “The Great Sex Divide” by Glenn Wilson
4. “Women:theory and practice” by Bernard Chapin.
Good read guys, and remember to spread the news to other men. You can change this insane policy and the untrue “ideology” of feminizm that is hanging over the Western world. It’s not about equal pay (read Warren Farrels “Why men earn more”) or equal rights (women have more privileges than men have (read the books above)).
Hrm, I thought the increase was an effort to make metrosexual Obama (“You can’t emasculate Barack Obama!” says his wife, and I figure she would know…) seem more appealing than “Neanderthal” traditionally male McCain.
I read the Newsweek article. It was tragic in that the response to the problem is “Some researchers responded to last weeks’ study by calling for more resources for more mental-health services for children – especially males.”
This response focuses all the blame on the boys/males and ignores both institutionalized processes that are poorly suited for the temperament of boys and a growing intolerance of normal boyhood behaviors. Basically, a “drug ‘em and sit ‘em up in the corner” approach.
Truly, the Newsweek article was sad. It’s not our boys that are “sick” it’s our society’s view of them.
Somebody posted above that black males get a triple dose of this sickness and I think that’s right. Redneck boys, at least a double dose.
I love men. Where would I be without them? Fatherless for one and my Dad is a great source of wisdom and entertainment.
Husbandless too. Again a great source of wisdom and entertainment.
And last, but certainly not least — childless. Children are the ultimate source of wisdom and entertainment.
Call it old-fashioned, call it Christian if you want (even though I’m not one) but a man is not complete without a woman and a woman is not whole without a man. Life depends on that.
I doubt this has much to do with politics. The demonization of men has been going on for a long time, and one only has to turn on a television and watch talk shows (Oprah being the most obvious) bring on victim after victim, nearly all female. The trouble with encouraging people to feel like victims is that it requires someone to be the victimizer.
As a white male Republican who cannot help oppressing every “victim” he meets (in the eyes of some, anyway), I find this to be a very disturbing trend.
There are some great comments on this one and I’m on board with Dark helmet, Self-hating boomer, and Chuck Pelto. I especially like Chuck’s phrase, “Don’t be a sexist; broads hate that.”
Personally, I blame the Lifetime Movie Network! Really – every movie seems to be about a woman who’s victimized by a man in some way.
Seriously, the male bashing going on is just a continuation of bashing that’s been occurring for a while now. The reasons are varied and the agenda or end-game of the bashing is unknown. The MSM constantly pushes the gay agenda upon us, and we’re told that being a metrosexual is all the rage. We’re told that young boys shouldn’t play with toy guns or engage in contact sports and if they do, a fresh prescription of Ritalin or similar is all that’s needed to “correct” their horrid behavior. On and on it goes, the vicious cycle of trying to beat biology through behavior modification. Of course, that’s no easy feat hence the various pharmaceuticals involved.
A male cannot self-regulate testosterone production and if we could do that, I’m sure we would increase it, I know I would. I’m often blamed for having too much testosterone, for being too aggressive, but I figure more is always better! Mind you, while I’m being blamed for being ‘alpha male’, I’m asked to lift that heavy object or fix a car or fix some other device. I like doing those things, and holding doors open for women, and all those things I’m not supposed to be doing if I listened to the MSM and feminist types. Of course, part of having testosterone means that I’m not always going to do what I’m told. I won’t go for manicures like some of my friends do because it’s impractical and silly. I would ruin the manicure by sticking my hands in various machines but I’m told that I could just go get another one. I say why bother in the first place? My wife can go get manicures all day long if she wants, I’ll hang out and do my own thing.
Fighting basic biology is always a losing battle but the MSM and feminist types do it anyway. Somehow, they think they know more than our bodies do. Evolution has created the differences between male and female for a very good reason and we should embrace those differences because we really have no choice. The more we fight our nature, the more problems we’ll encounter. Males and females are fundamentally different and we cannot be molded into some homogeneous state just because somebody said so. It’s written in our genes, or hardware, and re-writing our software will only make everything incompatible and broken. I hope things turn around soon because we really can’t afford to have an entire generation of broken people running around.
A good start would be a return of better masculine role-models in the MSM. Is there really anyone out there who truly believes that a pack of gays or metrosexuals are going to come to our rescue during a real crisis?
It’s like the old story in business. If your product isn’t up to the mark, lie through your teeth, over-hype your product, twist the research and sales statistics and bash the opposition with as much trumped-up garbage as you can think of. Do it long enough, often enough and loud enough and every idiot in creation will believe you. Women have been doing this for years. I’ve come to view organisations that use these tactics as utterly detestable, and now I consider most women utterly detestable and unworthy of any respect whatever.

I personally think that the reasons you cite go much too deeply. “Man bashing” is simply one direction of the pendulum’s swing and the increase, IMO, is due to the fact that the swing is reaching it’s peak. Sad because of all the tripe being spewed, but good in that it won’t be very long before it begins to swing the other way. The question is will we be able to avoid letting it swing too far against women once we approach the “happy medium”.

I am a British man who has always been fully aware, within my own society, of the dishonesty and hatred of the women’s movement as it has steadily deformed itself under the banner of feminism over the past 30-40 years. And I strongly suggest to others that people should perhaps attempt to ‘read between the lines’ when they encounter – in print, on their TV screens or in person – the vitriolic drivel of the modern feminist’s false gospel, and a belief that she has carte blanche to badly wound other human beings.
What is between those lines?
This may seem ridiculous to many people, but for many feminists – particularly those from whose media and academic pulpits are heard messages that are, even in their own minds, blatantly false – their hateful extremism emanates from a withered persona that suffers from a massive inferiority complex. An inferiority complex that they feel on behalf of themselves and women generally.
After all the social changes that have taken place, particularly over the past twenty-five years, if such people truly believed in innate female equality, most of them would simply not feel compelled to continue in their fanatical and shrill vein of venomous misrepresentation.
Subconsciously most fanatical feminists behave as they do because in their minds they believe that without the constant warfare that they are freely being allowed, and even encouraged, to wage against the rest of society, people will recover their social and human bearings. A veil will subsequently slip revealing something that they find terrifying.
It is called reality.
Try and pity these loathsome individuals. By all means they must be challenged and overthrown. This will inevitably happen in due course. Yes, despise them and counter their false message with truth, loudly and with anger – measured reason is never an antidote to extremism and to blatant evil. But find a corner in your heart for pity also. For they are truly pitiful.
No pity for traitors
I have a sister brainwashed in the feminist human-waste sewer agenda. She is not researched, therefore has nothing intelligent to offer & yet has all the answers. It is laughable. Having a meaningfull conversation is not possible, it is like speaking to a child. Her facts are based in the MSM, fictional programming & romance novels. It does not go any further. She has a husband with two teenage sons. She is absolutely convinced there are no psychological differences between both genders. We are absolutely identical. For almost twenty years she has been working as a receptionist for a law firm. A workforce of hard left liberals. It is understandable where much of her twisted thinking comes from-great manipulators in communication with fools wisdom. She has a tendency to bash males. Problem is, i do not stand for it. I still remember a conversation we had almost a year ago. She claimed “if my husband ever gained weight i would leave him.” In other other words she would take his children, his home & so on. Here we have a short little woman now a little overweight making such a claim. I never did forget that. Her husband is a tall, well built wonderful man. She has always been very difficult to him. Down to my point: 6 weeks ago i was invited over to their home. I accepted the offer simply because visiting relatives from another country were there. One of my Aunts brought-up the point many teenage girls are under peer pressure to look beautiful and thin. It has caused psychological & physical harm to these girls. I agree with her completely. Well, my insecure feminist sister raised her voice “it’s men’s fault!” I responded, wait a minute, “many editors & columnists of womens magazines,tabloids,entertainment MSM are females.” She gets-up facing me & asks “tell me! would you marry a fat women?” I responded “it is possible to fall in-love with one.” Her voice is getting louder & demanded “would you marry a fat-women!!” Now my competitive edge everyone is familiar with including her is taking form. “You tell me, would you marry a fat-man?” again she asked me the same question, but i have made a demand & expect an answer. She knows me well enough that she is the one taking a back seat. My eyes are now glaring & manlyhood is in full force. Firmly with conviction i asked again “WOULD YOU MARRY A FAT-MAN!!” Like a frightened child that’s been corned in her hypocracy, gave an embarrased smile & sat down like a good little girl with a whimper of a response “no.” I added “did you not tell me if your husband ever gained weight you would leave him?” Everyone on that table got a pretty good laught out of that question. You see, it happens all the time. She always runs away from any conversation when she is challenged by someone such as me.
It is why i am certain Dr. Helen delt very well with that waitress. That woman needed to be taught a reality lesson. I would have handled it the same way not caring what anyone thought of me being a man. Every child, women, men (i included) need proper guidance when off track, even if it means being deadly honest with harsh words.
One last point: I like Dr. Helen very much. She is very precious. Her husband & daughter have a jewel in her.
A few weeks in SE Asia makes all of these questions and statistics moot. Once you’ve enjoyed the company of an attractive woman raised to RESPECT men, in a culture that celebrates gender differences, I promise the men here that you’ll never be the same. Oddly enough, I’ve noticed a great increase in the number of western WOMEN visiting this part of the world.
Why all the male bashing? The answer to that question is really simple. Women have an inherent jealousy of men. Why do you think women want to be like men sexually? They`re jealous of male sexuality. Envy, it`s a woman thing. Women see themselves as having too much biological baggage. While men get off scott free in the biological baggage department. It`s jealousy. You people go think about that for awhile.

Studies show that women are inferior in math and science on the whole. Unless of course you factor in affirmative action. THERE is your answer. They bash men because then can. Women are unhappy, unsanitary humans who hate most things. Look at them on television. They are the most childish, selfish, , evil and narcissistic beings imaginable. The only reason they get away with it is because white men aren’t able to call them c*nts. Even to stare down a woman is considered violence toward women. Blaming others for your own shortcomings is their way of life. There are people in the US congress who are trying to pass legislation that would allow women not to have to go bankrupt for any reason. Thankfully we guys are catching on. Sad day when the pendulum swings the other way. Until that time, masculine men like me will never trust a woman, want a woman, or help a woman in need. And women say men think with their penises. Funny thing…a woman’s whole life is her vagina. Easy to understand why their lives are such a mess too.
