Very few people seem upset that MEN constitute a de facto disposable commodity (plus, as we are taught, they are “all rapists”). Education has been a feminized profession for years and most colleges are now female/LGBT dominated. Hostile administrators basically target and scapegoat the heterosexual white males who actually make it into college.

This brings back memories from the 1984 Presidential campaign when the feminists wanted. It was apparently sexist and unfair for a mere electrician to get more pay than an “educated” librarian with a master’s degree:

And, of course, Aunt Samantha (e.g. the feminized Uncle Sam) would get to decide everyone’s comparable worth. I liked to use this example: suppose it is 110 degrees, your air conditioner’s fuse has blown, and all your books got stolen – who do you call, the librarian or the electrician????

Nowadays, blue-collar men are, de facto, sub-human Morlocks

We can, naturally, keep their wages down by importing an unlimited number of foreign Morlocks to replace the domestic variety (a policy which has achieved great success in Europe, for example). Well, it is nice of you to put in a good word for the endangered subspecies!

Some of my family’s roots go back into western Pennsylvania. They farmed the land and worked in the mines. Life was difficult for these men and their families. My grandparents did not have an indoor WC until the 60’s. Some of the machinery has made the work in the mines somewhat safer but, as we find out a couple of times a year not much.

I wonder how much research is done to put this dangerous business behind us? I know a lot of cancer researchers etc. but now that I think about it, I don’t think I’ve ever come across someone working to make mining less dangerous.

So far I have only found two "media members" in the whole world who are really concerned about men, and not only women. Warren Farrel and you. In my opinion you are both heroes as there is absolute no bonus to gain caring for men in public. Rather there are severe punishments. I just wanted to thank you for your integrity, and your care for truth about the problem real people, including men, have in life.

One of my aunts is from the town of Grundy, Virginia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grundy,_Virginia It’s in coal country.

My aunt’s father was killed in a mine accident. He was hit by a rail car loaded with coal. She was six years old when it happened.

Left unmentioned: These are jobs that Americans have always done.

Except by the elites.
