I'm going to say no to the poop post. Call me a simp, but ick! Those of us who love our wives, daughters, and female friends as both people and women need to speak up more forcefully. Your essay encourages me to do so.

Yeah I was teased for looking ‘gay’ when I was young and I do hang out with a lot of women now. But I have some great guy friends and a lovely wife so fuck the fascists!

These are the only truly straight secure women loving men in my experience.

Who’s really the simp though? A question I ask often. The man who married the least intelligent and physically inferior woman that would take him (the most submissive woman) to impress upon the men he’s submissive to, or the men who marry the most intellectually challenging, physically strong, and non-submissive women?

Ros, the point is that the number of boys who’ve avoided their horrific pornofication and online indoctrination is tiny.

That’s why boys legitimately feel under attack.

The reckoning is here. Boys love their moms and sisters but that was no defence during the vulgar wave.

We raised a legion of traumatized boys.

We continue to darvo them and condescend to them. The failures of a 25 year old man are the failing of our age cohort to let this run riot.

Soy Boys and Femboy's rule.

As for that film, my heart sank when Sigourney Weaver told Melanie Griffith to "rethink the jewelry". I was like ouch. don't. No. please. 🙊

Blimey, I've learnt some new terms to go with my long standing depression when considering the levels of male ignorance in the 2020s. I'm old and educated enough to appreciate the truth of what you write, thank you for doing it so eloquently.

This is epic! Restacked and deeply appreciated, Ros. The circle of Substack sisters has been delighting me with their great writing.

Brilliant post… had to google ‘Soyboy’ but agree that ‘Soyboys’ are definitely on the list of men worth speaking to (now I know who they are!).

Thanks for writing Ros. 👍
