New York Magazine is my go-to magazine for deep thoughts.

No, that’s a lie. I only wind up reading something there if I am forced to for my job. Most of what they publish is pointless dreck, and the rest is idiotic takes. It’s called New York Magazine, after all, and is only read by the smart set. The New Yorker is also read by the smart set, but love or hate what you read there, their readers actually are smart, not pretending to be so.

So what brought me to New York Magazine this time? Yet another example of how the most acceptable form of bigotry left in the West is that aimed at men. We folks damned by the fact that God gave us dangly bits that behave ridiculously in the cold.

The good folks at New York have declared that 2022 is the year that men flopped. Since this particular announcement took place in their style section the fine folks there used a theater metaphor. Nicely done, New York.

Try to name even one good man. You can’t. The only thing close to a good man is Chris Pine, and he is not a man; he is a demigod. The unfortunate, painfully obvious truth is 2022 will heretofore be known as the year when men simply flopped.

There are many ways for a person to be questionable, some objectively worse than others, and men found every single one this year. There were the men with an unbearable lack of self-awareness, screaming “cancel culture” to an audience of millions. There were the men whose long history of abuse allegations did nothing to dissuade people from coming to their defense or giving them MTV VMA cameos. Did you know Louis C.K. won a Grammy this year? If anyone is concerned that these men haven’t gotten the opportunity to apologize, learn, and grow, you can rest assured — they are being given awards instead.

Brilliant! Funny! And smart to leave out Chris Pine from the general attack because he is so dreamy to look at, if occasionally a bit retrograde. He has dangly bits, but looks really nice in a well-cut suit.

Not one good man. Does that include the guys who designed the computer this was written on? Built the building you are writing in? Maintained the water, sewer, and electrical grid you are using? Drilled for the natural gas heating your apartment? The countless men who made your privileged life possible, so that you can write this drivel celebrating your own wonderfulness, Mia Mercado?

Maybe Chris Pine did all that. Last I checked most of the people in the professions that make a pampered life in Manhattan are working class men you complain about.

Writers at New York Magazine don’t think for a moment of men who aren’t dreamy in a suit.  The only men who matter are in the top .0001% of income and cultural awareness.

And yes, it is a tragedy that Louis C.K. has yet to be utterly destroyed. 5 years ago people bitched about his masturbation habits, and since he didn’t work for CNN as a Lefty commentator he had to be destroyed for life. Sorry that didn’t happen. Men suck. Or rather, men who don’t suck suck. Unless they are vocal about hating conservatives on CNN. They get a 5 minute time out and a pat on the backside.

Yes, we get the message: men are bad, and it’s fun to shout this out loud. More fun to be applauded for it. The only thing worse than being a penis person is to be a pale penis person with a personality, so have your fun at our expense. And be sure to cancel us all if we say a negative word about women, because misogyny.

I have a pretty good idea of what life would be like without what women bring to the table. If men could magically reproduce on our own the world would be a much worse place. It may be men who do most of the big, physical labor that keeps society rolling, but we never would have built any of it without women demanding we get off our asses and do something besides watch sports and go to war.

Women civilize men, men build civilization’s infrastructure. That has been the deal. Everybody gets sex, babies, and food–which, by the way, men mostly produce. We also get nice things, go to the moon, fly in airplanes, drive on roads, and have plumbing. The vast majority of people involved–not all, mind you, but almost all–in making those thing happen are men. Who flopped in 2022, apparently.

The sexes are complementary in every way possible. Like Yin and Yang we fit together to make a whole. That is so blindingly obvious that only an intellectual could miss it. Neither is superior to the other because each needs the other to even be.

Imagine the women at New York magazine experiencing a week-long strike of the men keeping their lives afloat. The electricity goes down, the sewer gets clogged, cars and transit stopping. Truckers not bringing in the food….

The fact is that most of the people who complain constantly about how unfairly they are treated only exist at all because society has so much surplus that we can afford effete intellectuals who don’t do the most modest amount of work. They are able to smirk at the rest of us because they aren’t out gathering nuts and berries and living in a hut. And that is because real men and real women decided to build a civilization.

The jokes on the suckers who did so–the thanks they get is to be insulted by the most privileged people in human history.
