"Until they do, their complaints about the attack on natural women will ring hollow. "

Most women will never do so unless there is a significant social pressure to do so. Wise, masculine men need to have the dominant influence in society. There's a lot that can go wrong with men in charge, but at least society has a fighting chance. With women dominating over men, you are guaranteed this endless nonsense until society breaks down to the point where many people lose their comforts and distractions.

If you try to make men and women equally in charge of all society, it will always tilt toward women because the men will simp.

Traditional gender roles are important, but in a general way. It's not good to be too strict about it, which sometimes happens in fundamentalist religions. But it's not good to be too loose, either. Men and women are like a ying-yang symbol. The man's side is mostly masculine (let's say black) with a small amount of femininity (white). The woman's side is mostly feminine with a small amount of masculinity. The small dots will vary in size among individuals, but if they become too large, the person is disordered.

I was born in the 80's and I never would have said something like this until recent years, seeing all the problems we have. Men need to be the head of house holds and women need to not see this as a problem, but to desire and love it.

The cruelty of women--or at least, their indifference and selfishness generally, along with their misdirected empathy--are among the most worrisome aspects of the present ascent of women. I agree with you that society should not be overly strict. Men should not be shamed for being less masculine; women should not be shamed for having masculine gifts and abilities; both sexes should be able to make choices that suit them. But in general, traditional gender roles should be openly preferred and rewarded, and anti-male bigotry of the sort that is now standard and applauded in our society, should be treated as the equivalent of anti-Semitism or anti-blackness. Any woman who expresses contempt for men or hatred of men should be excoriated and publicly humiliated. Female claims of harassment and victimization should be treated with caution and skepticism; accused men should be presumed innocent until proven guilty. Above all, the central role of fathers in their children's lives should be protected and upheld.
