James Carville indicating the beginning of manosphere influence in the Democratic Party

James Carville said something interesting in his interview with Maureen Dowd published in the New York Times on March 23, 2024 under the title “The Cajun Who Can’t Stop Ragin’”:

“A suspicion of mine is that there are too many preachy females” dominating the culture of his party. “‘Don’t drink beer. Don’t watch football. Don’t eat hamburgers. This is not good for you.’ The message is too feminine: ‘Everything you’re doing is destroying the planet. You’ve got to eat your peas.’

“If you listen to Democratic elites — NPR is my go-to place for that — the whole talk is about how women, and women of color, are going to decide this election. I’m like: ‘Well, 48 percent of the people that vote are males. Do you mind if they have some consideration?”‘

The meaning of the Shocking Rise in the Manosphere since 2010

DW News on March 1, 2024 put out the youtube video “Why the political worldviews of young men and women are increasingly diverging.”  I find this particularly amazing, that such a mainstream news outlet is talking about the manosphere and discussing or debating the issue of why young men are turning more conservative and young women are turning more liberal.  Actually I’ve seen this kind of thing happen in multiple locations; channels or news outlets that are mainstream or mostly focused on different subjects deciding to talk about manosphere issues or manosphere personalities for no apparent reason; just because they’re interested I guess.  Also mainstream social conservative outlets are starting to debate or criticize the manosphere as being against marriage and being focused on individualism and promiscuity just like the feminists are.

The emerging Political Divide between Young Men and Women

John Burn-Murdoch has an interesting article out titled “A new global gender divide is emerging”:

“One of the most well-established patterns in measuring public opinion is that every generation tends to move as one in terms of its politics and general ideology.

Its members share the same formative experiences, reach life’s big milestones at the same time and intermingle in the same spaces. So how should we make sense of reports that Gen Z is hyper-progressive on certain issues, but surprisingly conservative on others?

The answer, in the words of Alice Evans, a visiting fellow at Stanford University and one of the leading researchers on the topic, is that today’s under-30s are undergoing a great gender divergence, with young women in the former camp and young men the latter. Gen Z is two generations, not one.”

Reconstructing Methodism with the Global Methodist Church

Easy exit, or at least relatively easy exit, from the United Methodist Church is coming to an end; paragraph 2553 expiring at the end of 2023.  Of the original 30,000 United Methodist Churches in the United States in 2020 about one-fourth have disaffiliated before the end of 2023 deadline and about half of those, about 4,000, have joined the newly created Global Methodist Church.  

The Magical Other compared to The Oneitis Dream Girl

I came across an interesting video on Youtube; “Why do Most Relationships Fail? – The Myth of the Magical Other”; that reminded me of the manosphere concept of oneitis; oneitis versus the magical other.

The Republican Party is Trump’s Party Now

Michael Johnson got elected to speaker of the House of Representatives on October 25, 2023 after the shocking but predictable ouster of Kevin McCarthy from the speaker of the House role on October 3, 2023 for the crime of passing a temporary funding bill to avoid a government shutdown that would have happened on October 1, 2023 if the temporary funding bill was not passed.

Red Flags and Green Flags

HealthyGamerGG put up an interesting video on youtube with the provocative title of “Why Chasing Red Flags Leads To Love” that I’d like to comment on.

In terms of my own experience with romantic relationships especially when I was young my main priority was who did I love the most and which girl did I want to be with the most; and then more practically later on the thought becomes what is the best girl I can get given who I am, what I have to offer.  In order to get a better girl I have to become a better man so that I can out compete all the other men who will want the same girl that I want.  Then the thought of compatibility comes up; with which woman am I the most compatible?  Compatibility is an interesting concept; like the point is for the man and the woman to find the member of the opposite sex who fits them the best; who’s strengths and weaknesses best complement or support their own strengths and weaknesses.

Donald Trump versus American Democracy

Some interesting stuff has happened during the past month in American political history; yes we are living and seeing with our own eyes history in the making.  That is, the indictment of Donald Trump in the case United States vs Donald J Trump filed on August 1, 2023: Count 1; Conspiracy to Defraud the United States, Count 2; Conspiracy to Obstruct an Official Proceeding, Count 3; Obstruction of and Attempt to Obstruct an Official Proceeding, and Count 4; Conspiracy Against Rights.  Then as a follow-up or an add-on the indictment of Donald Trump in the case The State of Georgia vs Donald John Trump filed on August 14, 2023 as a RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) charge.

Tenth Year Anniversary for Secular Patriarchy!

Well, it was 10 years ago today that I started this website Secular Patriarchy.  The idea was that this website was going to be a TWRA (Traditional Women’s Rights Activist) affiliated website.  The TWRA group is now defunct though B. A. Hunter is still active as an individual blogger at What’s Wrong With Equal Rights; B. A. Hunter being an original member of the TWRA group.  I did a split with the TWRAs calling myself a TFA or Traditional Family Activist instead.  This TFA group supposedly started on October 30, 2013 though nobody joined me as a fellow TFA so it is still just me.  If you want to get an idea of what the conflict between me and the TWRAs was about go to the post I wrote on November 4, 2013 titled “The Rules of Gender Hierarchy; When and Why Women should Obey Men” and read the comments section to.

The Manosphere under attack from Christianity?

Revisiting the youtube video “The Death of the Manosphere and the War On Men” where Will Spencer of Renaissance of Men is being interviewed by Forge and Anvil Will Spencer explores the idea of the Death of the Manosphere based on the manosphere being ungodly and materialistic and losing relevance to a new and emerging Christianity invading the manosphere space.
