If men are finished... We need to mobilize! Mustache Brigade, HO!

[Chrishu]

The recent nuclear explosion of the other topic (you know the one) has gotten me thinking--if men really are done for, then how do we go about fixing our problems? There's absolutely wrong with men of all color uniting as a minority group. As far as population goes, we sure as hell are one.

Now, before I start this, you must all know that I love women. I really, really love women. And I love that they can do more than make sammiches. Really.

Think about it this way: in another fifteen years we'll be undereducated, underemployed, and--if women continue to rise higher in business with feminist ideals--underpaid. I'm not one to simply look at the present, where men are still dominant, I'm inclined to look at the future. Ours and our siblings' generation, that is to say, Gen Y and the iGeneration, have a distinct tendency for male underachievement. Deadbeat dads, unemployed basement dwellers, and that huge college graduation gap that the other topic talked about. Women rock the world, let's waste no time in denying that.

So, here are my solutions to this problem:

--Change the educational system to accomodate boys (moreso than we do now).

Simple solution. Most classrooms are taught by women and (because they don't understand how boys learn) for women. Simply adding kinesthetic activities to lesson plans will go a good way towards calming boys down, helping them learn, and taking this ridiculous ADHD craze out back. And shooting it.

--Better parenthood education.

And not in the fucking retarded way we teach health here in the States. Really, honestly, go into detail about the specifics of how to use birth control and the utter nightmares of underage parenthood. A little knowledge goes a long way in scaring people half to death about kids.

--Unemployment. Fix it.

I'm actually of the impression that more education would fix this problem, and every problem. Then again, I'm planning to become a teacher, so, I'm just a bit biased. Anyone else have an idea to fix this?

As a man who works in a female dominated job, all I can say is whats the issue?
Seriously women make great bosses and coworkers when they are in the majority, all I can say is that its men's fault, and if the lose touch and let women take over I'm all for it.
I mean your examples OP doing make much sense.

1) you go on about women not understanding how boys learn, then isn't the converse true as well? If so wouldn't it be unfair to "change" education to suit males as it will negatively affect how girls learn?

2) Don't see what parenthood has to do with "men being finished" as you mention ours and our younger siblings, of which very few are going to be dad's already. Besides in my year group only 6 people already have kids, and they are all girls. If anything men spending more time at home would make them better fathers, I'm just not seeing your point OP

3) Unemployment fix it?
OK i'll wave my wand and create 100 jobs right now? Irrelevant being better educated doesn't necessarily mean a lower unemployment, it might just create a large amount of highly educated unemployed people.

I was all ready to come in here, and crack a joke about "If it's a moustache brigade, my grandmother would make a great double agent," and read more of this jazz.

*sigh*

I was gonna make a "mustache ride" joke but... eh. It sort of makes itself. ;p

Encouraging boys and men to work harder in school would be beneficial in general (despite the silliness of claiming men are falling behind worldwide) and discouraging the idea that good grades and decent behavior are "feminine" or "emasculating" would help y'all out too. We ladies work very hard for our $0.76 to the $1, not to mention the unpaid housework and childcare we still do, and you dudes would do well to exchange your dicks joysticks for pencils and follow our determined homework-doing-hard-studying and overall no-holds-barred-ovaries-to-the wall git 'er done example.
