Anecdote: Boys father dies when he is fifteen leaving behind himself, his mother and his 11 year old brother. Mother stops taking care of herself, boy is burdened with responsibility trying to be 'man of the house' gives up dreams of going to college trying to upkeep this responsibility. Mother uses him to take care of her needs. Mother begins to feel she is losing control of the boy because he is coming of age and becoming alot smarter - finding reason, logic etc and being able to outwit her with greater ease (as is commonplace at around that age) begins using her position as a mother not to nurture and develop him but control and manipulate him, punishing him for being rational and reasonable when she is being the opposite. and goes so far as to leave him emotionally crippled so that he doesnt dare challenge her authortity - which of course ought to be a hallmark of teen years which the parent should respond with reason and logic in order to instruct and guide the boy to a good destination in life. The boy now burdened with responsibilities he never asked for and having to deal with the mother who treats him as though he is her boyfriend or husband, falls into depression, cuts off contact with his friends and is emotionally incapable of sustaining relationships or going to college. The mother then begins making a string of irrational and bad decisions which completely undermine the position that he thought he as in 'as the man of the house' Selling the house that the father built for them to live in and leaving the boy homeless on the streets. The depression gets worse and he eventually kills himself in attempt to regain control of his own life.

such a scenario or some similar scenario is the kind of scenario that many men are facing today wherein they are burdened with all of the responsibilities and none of the perks and the women leverage themselves into a position of all of the perks and none of the responsibilities.

Waste makes me angry, and I know for a fact that there are many intelligent men who are otherwise full of potential out there who, like the boy in the anecdote are forced into a position by which the cannto see any way to express that potential to its fullest due to some emotional or mental crippling by an inconsiderate mother or perhaps some irrational mother who makes inconsiderate decisions that effect her kids in severely negative ways, a mother who punishes them for being smarter than her (and believe me its more common than you might think), and mothers who treat their male children like boyfriends or spouses, with all of the responsibilities that go with that and none of the perks.

I hate the fact that here are men out there who are enslaved by women - be it a girlfriend, mother or whatever and live in servitude to her instead of pursuing his own dreams and ambitions and I hate the fact that it is endorsed by society at large. Im tired of society telling me that I have to take responsibility for adult human beings who have been given aid and help and encouragement and sympathy along every step of the way for every little inconvenience they may face - however trivial. I hate the fact that they are defended vigorously when they do wrong and I hate the fact that nobody thinks lowly of them when they refuse to take accountability for their actions.
