"Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee."

Will be traveling and offline for most of the day, btw. I'm going out into America to pretend I own the place.

Heffernan's essay is an exercise in willful ignorance. The truth is that there is no patriarchy and men are falling behind women in almost every key metric. For the last half-century, the Western world has been fixated on maximizing female empowerment. In the process, our understanding of men regressed and a “boy crisis” emerged that’s still seldom acknowledged. Men are getting shafted by a labor market that prizes "ornamental culture."
