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.
