Basically this misogynist ass-clown says that women (who should apparently stay in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant) have been replacing men as educated members of the workforce, while adult males sit on their butts and play video games all day.
I've got news for this jerk.
A) More women have been going to college and working since the 70's because it takes two incomes to support a family. Besides, women shouldn't be perceived as a threat, as this guy obviously does.
B) I bust my ass all day at a job, come home and spend time with my kid, after all that I MAYBE squeeze out a couple hours of games if I don't have something else that I need to do.
And guess what? How I spend my free time is my business. Who gave this moron a keyboard and paid him to write this drivel?
The guy who wrote this is clearly out of touch with modern society.
Not working? No crap, the unemployment rate is the highest its been in decades. Many men have given up after looking for a job for two years. Oh and women will work for less money, so they are probably getting hired over equally qualified men right now.
Lazy? Not hardly. My brother-in-law and his buddies that I used to game with all started college a year ago and guess what? I never see them on Xbox anymore because they are all applying themselves in school. Its a big part of why I joined this group to find some people to game with.
Maybe his article does apply to a very small group of men in America. There will always be some lazy people who would rather do nothing productive but it's certainly not a huge threat to our society as this guy tries to make it out to be.
And the arrogant way he tries to hoist much of the blame on video games is just annoying. He's spreading misinformation and that's what ruffles my feathers. People should get upset about something that's not true, because its not true.
Most troubling is this quote from the final paragraph of his piece. "The Founding Fathers believed, and the evidence still shows, that industriousness, marriage and religion are a very important basis for male empowerment and achievement."
Wow, really? Male empowerment? So we should all get married, have lots of kids and go to church to be good men?
Let's take a look at Mr Bennett shall we?
He looks like Jabba The Hutt. I'm willing to bet he thinks all women should be dressed like "Slave Girl" Leia and chained to their husbands too.
Screw this clown.
