Men Left Behind
The Sexual Revolution and the Silicon Revolution have left men behind due to the old manufacturing jobs in middle America and old coal mining communities in the United Kingdom moving to foreign nations thanks to hyper-specialisation and the fact that it is cheaper to get goods abroad.
This is a massive success story that people don’t talk about because it took over Decades of rapid economic growth in China to help lift 748.5 million people out of extreme poverty, dropping the country’s poverty rate from 66.3 per cent to just 0.3 per cent.
Among the world’s 15 most populous developing countries, China has seen the greatest drop in poverty rates.
The levels of absolute poverty have declined globally since the end of the Second World War.
There was a gradual decline in global extreme poverty — those living below the $2.15 poverty threshold in 2017 PPP — from 1950 to 1990. Global poverty declined by about twenty percentage points over those 40 years.
However, this came at a price for the manufacturing and blue-collar jobs that men typically dominated. Still, those jobs have gone abroad, leaving those kinds of men without work or purpose, which meant society left them behind.
Men Who Lack Purpose
It is not the duty of women to raise men merely that society has left these men behind and has not made a place for people who are not suited for office jobs that require a lot of mental work.
I remember speaking to a man working at Morrisons, who told me how he spent £1000 on new computer software for his PC. I was taken aback by how much passion and drive, as well as his finances, goes into gaming.
This event still makes me think that young men don’t have the motivation to succeed or to build a prosperous future, not just for themselves but for those around them, because they have given up due to society telling them they are not good enough.
For women, it may be frightening how much male motivation is driven by the desire for sexual intercourse and the desire to have female affection.
With the growing use of pornography, the male drive is not being used appropriately and healthily because men are not having sex and are instead using pornography to fill natural needs rather than becoming worthy of female attention. It’s not good for society as a whole.
This is because the male sex drive is triggered through the use of images.
If a man sees too many sexual images when he finally interacts with a woman, he will not be able to maintain an erection.
There are two reasons for this.
One is the sheer volume of pornographic images and staged sexual scenes that can’t live up to the real thing, and it makes the man become desensitised to a woman’s natural floors and beauty in real life.
The second reason is that to have self-pleasure for a man, he doesn’t need to have a full erection, and his body becomes used to ejaculating without being hard.
Also, this is very bad for women because when she has sex with a man, he will expect her to act like a porn star due to growing up and seeing images on pornography websites that do not reflect reality.
What needs to be made clear is that those kinds of websites and pornography are studio productions.
People do not see actual sex but camera angles; people in those productions move the way they do to get the best camera angles.
It’s not a good idea to spit or choke a woman; that’s the kind of image a man sees and learns online. Also, for women, because it’s pornography doesn’t make it right, nor is it normal for what you are both seeing is a fantasy and a production it’s not real.
The Content Diet
The podcast hosts turned writers and authors Konstantin Kisin and Chris Williams for the idea of the content diet and how it negatively impacts men and women in the dating world and our day-to-day lives because we are constantly being fed narratives of what our lives should be.
This is grossly unhealthy and incredibly dangerous for society, and legislation limiting who can use these devices will be entering legislation as the effects of social media and online content diet are negatively affecting both sexes.
As human beings, the way we see the world and perceive the world is not always based on reality but through our perceptions of reality.
If we see the Kardashians, pornography and negative dating and marriage experiences online, we immediately think this is the truth of reality.
But the way online algorithms work is that they feed human being’s negative impulses and that we respond better to negative feedback due to evolutionary reasons and the need to respond to negative events instantaneously.
That’s why we remember the bad times more than the good times. Relationships are a great example of this. We remember the end of the relationship and forget the good that has happened within those relationships because we are predisposed to be more accepting of negative information.
Regarding the content diet, we need to focus on more educational pursuits and pursuits that are more fulfilling and positive rather than watching content that degrades both men and women.
