The great irony about male-bashing is that it affects its targets in precisely the opposite ways the bashers would prefer.
Men without adequate supplies of dignity, inclined to conciliate women who bash men, become ever less manly. Ultimately, their womenfolk find themselves running their men’s lives, and disliking the sensation intensely.
Men with adequate dignity, and the will to assert themselves when attacked, distance themselves from their attackers, who ultimately discover that what they value in men are the very characteristics they’d been deriding.
“You cannot do wrong without suffering wrong….Justice is not postponed.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Compensation.”
