Paul Craig Roberts: The Overthrow of Men

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

In my lifetime I have watched the complete overthrow of American men.  The only role that they have left is to be a hate object for feminists.

I think the overthrow was initiated with the 1964 Civil Rights Act as implemented, contrary to the statutory language in the law, by the EEOC bureaucracy.  Congress explicitly prohibited racial quotas, but the EEOC under the leadership of Alfred Blumrosen put in place a regulatory system that, at first, under the name of “affirmative action” gave racial preference to blacks in university admissions, hiring, and promotion. Soon after the preferences were extended to women, and later to the handicapped and now to sexual perverts.

The consequence of Alfred Blumrosen is that white heterosexual males are second class citizens in law.  They have been denied for a half century the 14th Amendment’s protection of equality under the law.

Initially, the impact was limited, but as time passed more and more American men were held back in order to advance those with racial and gender preferences.  Feminists went on and on about a “glass ceiling,” and American men, weakened by their demonization, invited them on boards and into executive offices.  This has gone on for so many decades that today a male CEO or University president is an endangered species, as exemplified by the recent controversy over Ivy League students’ protests against Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians.  The three Ivy League university presidents called before Congress to explain why they had allowed students to commit anti-semitism by protesting Israel’s massacre of Palestinians were all women, with the President of Harvard being a black woman with plagiarism problems.

Today many corporate boards are more concerned about whether they have enough women and blacks than they are with profits and the corporation’s future.

Having pushed men aside, they started on boys.  Boys could no longer be Boy Scouts.  They had to take in girls or it was ruled discrimination against females.  But Girl Scouts didn’t have to take in boys.

Boy’s Little League baseball had to take in girls or it was discrimination.

Next school playground fights between a bully and one not content to be bullied, were no longer left to completion by the playground monitor–standing up for yourself was regarded as part of growing up.  Today the police are called, and what was normal in my day has been criminalized.  Boys cannot even play cops and robbers or cowboys and Indians without severe punishment.  If a 6 year old points his finger and says bang-bang, the cops are called, and parents are told that their son is a sociopath who is dangerous to his classmates.

When was the last men’s club extinguished for discrimination?

When was the last men’s college extinguished?  I went to three–Georgia Tech, the University of Virginia, Merton College, Oxford University.  They are now sexually integrated, and their character is lost.  Merton College now has female wardens (presidents).

Once the alumni from the past are dead, no one will have a memory of a men’s space.  It will become a mythology like a unicorn.

When boys don’t want to be boys:

What is proof of men’s demise is that today in America boys find themselves so demonized as misogynist and racists and treated as society’s problems that some would rather be girls than boys and, often with their mother’s urging, subject themselves to chemical castration and breast implants.  No male in the past could possibly have preferred to be a girl than a boy.

The question for feminists who have aided and abetted the overthrow of the American male is: who is going to protect you as the society you helped to destroy comes crashing down on your heads?

The delegitimizing of the white heterosexual male is the same throughout the remnants of Western civilization.  In Sweden there are reports that white Swedish men stand aside while immigrant-invaders rape Swedish women in public, because if they interfere they might be arrested for a hate crime.  The British government, which is no longer British, has a tradition of protecting immigrant-invaders against the British people instead of protecting the British people against immigrant-invaders.

What is happening conflicts with the protective mentality of white men.  But they are prohibited from providing the protection.

The Western World is devoid of maleness. Even the West’s war ministers are women. A couple of years ago I posted photographs of NATO’s European war ministers and Shoigu.  If memory serves, every European war minister was female.  

If Putin or Xi just gave one little push the West would collapse like a house of cards.
