"In the neighborhood in which my kids grew up, none of the high school–aged boys wanted to date. The problem was that the high school girls were too difficult. They were in the early stages of becoming the screaming, woke feminists who were so prominent during the George Floyd rallies.
On Twitter, a girl like that, only now grown up to be a mother and academic, tweeted something generically nasty about the "alt-right" hatefulness of White boys in middle school — and an 18-year-old decided to explain exactly why White boys are embracing non-woke standards.
Dr. Danna Young, a University of Delaware communications professor rather than a medical doctor, has blocked access to her account, but the content lives on:
But for some reason, all you hear is that girls are underrepresented in higher education. It's confusing. When you search for scholarships to apply to, you find hundreds that are only open to women.
When you tour college campuses, you hear how proud the school is to have student organizations like Women in Law, Women in Business, and Women in Science.
It all becomes too much. You start doing research.
You discover that men are more likely to be homeless, go to prison, become alcoholics, struggle with isolation/loneliness, die of a drug overdose, and commit suicide.
But all you hear about, for some reason, is something called the "gender pay gap."
Eventually, you find out that the only people who seem to talk about the issues facing men — the only people who appear to sympathize with how you feel — are so-called "alt-right" figures like Jordan Peterson.
You start listening to them. For once, you feel like you're not alone. Now imagine you're an 8th-grade white boy.
On top of the alienation you experience for merely being a boy, you're told by teachers, the media, and maybe even your parents that you should feel some form of remorse for being white.
You're as privileged as it gets, you're told. This doesn't make much sense to you. Why should you feel bad for being white — something you can't control?
This is a question you and your white classmates implicitly know cannot be asked. So instead, all of you submit. Humiliation quickly leads to demoralization. As you get older, you feel increasingly unwelcome by society. "Diversity and inclusion" initiatives and never-ending anti-white messaging from the media only make you feel like a burden.
So you turn to the Internet, where you feel welcome by video games and right-wing forums. Younger and younger white males are following this path. They feel they're simply unwelcome by society, and they escape to a select few communities and websites.
For the first time in America's history, the founding demographic is dropping out of society in massive numbers. Dr. Danna Young's solution?
"Inclusive programming and a critical historical lens."
It's almost like their goal is to demoralize and demonize young men — the group most likely to challenge our ruling class.
I have only one thing to add to that: when you marginalize people, as leftists like Young (who argues that leftists have a greater grasp of "cognitive complexity" and therefore a better sense of humor) are doing, there will be pushback, and that pushback is never pretty. Schmidt is polite and thoughtful; others will not be."
