The Marginalization of white males

I think it is important here to understand that I am not just including white males in this article. I am including all males in the western world. I'm only saying "white males" because they tend to typify the problems I see getting worse and worse in Western society both in the U.S. and Europe. I can't say as much for Europe because I don't live there. However, I do live in California in the U.S. and I also travel extensively during the year.

First of all, I am 65 and remember trying to have my first marriage be completely 50-50 in regard to all decisions made. I found immediately that this just doesn't work. It might work if you had the exact ideal kinds of personalities but basically: it doesn't work in real time in real life. So, in my 2nd marriage I tried a more traditional approach which is each of us were in charge of different things. In our case I handled the taxes, the finances and a lot of the major decisions mostly because she wasn't good at math but was good with the kids and schooling and deciding places where we might travel to, people to associate with etc. So, I learned from my first marriage that someone has to at least be 51% of the decisions in any given category of decisions in somewhat the same way as driving a car. Two people driving a car only gets people killed or seriously injured.

The major problems of society right now I find are like this where decisions have been taken out of the hands of young white males almost completely in regard to their lives by the changes in the ways they have been raised. These changes so "psychologically castrate them" that it makes them dysfunctional (at least in regard to be traditional males) for thousands and thousands of years. So, basically, psychologically their lives have been destroyed for the most part because they have been forbidden to be men.

And I don't find this different in some ways between all classes of men and boys in all races, colors and creeds. It's just that white males seem to typify this complete loss of traditional identity. And society is collapsing in many ways back on itself because of this.

Yes. There are the rebels who join the military and sometimes die or are maimed psychologically or physically for life. And there are some who survive mentally and physically intact. But, for example, as jobs once done by blue collar white men more and more are done by people coming over the border by 3rd world countries for less, white men (and all the others) don't have a place to go to be men. And on top of this white men are now less likely than women to go to college unless they are gay. So, you have less and less heterosexual males wishing to go to college because of not wanting to go bankrupt from student loans.

Women have always been taken care of more by every society historically. Men are always left to die alone from 16 or 18 on worldwide. All young men see this and know this intrinsically. So, death is always very close to a young man. Sometimes, there are NO second chances especially in the world we now live in.

So, a young man is going to look at all this usually and think: "How do I stay alive in this crazy world?"

This is something men young and old have always done because they know that once they leave home no one is going to care for them until they die somewhere possibly alone. So, creating a life is about 10 to 100 times harder for a young man than when I grew up in the 1950s. There are no guarantees in any way, shape or form for them now. There is no war for them to make a name for themselves in right now because the U.S. is running out of money after fighting in Afghanistan now since 2001 or 2. So, what does a young man do to create a future? This appears to be the 64,000 dollar question which is more troubling now than at any time since the 1930s and 1940s.

And the real problem is that because of diminishing world resources of both tillable land and drinkable water this problem (expense wise) is only going to get much much worse. So, many likely will not survive unless they live with their parents for longer and longer. So, society is changing and those most damaged by it likely will be orphans released from their care by the state at 18 to a world that may not employ them.
