Over the course of my lifetime I have watched the role of men taken away.  The role of the male as provider, defender, and disciplinarian is no more. It was destroyed by feminists.

To clarify “feminist”:  In the past when I have criticized feminists older women who had careers asked why I thought women shouldn’t have careers.  Their idea is that a feminist is a woman who has a career.  But women have always had careers as mothers, homemakers, grandmothers, school teachers, nurses, secretaries, writers, artists, musicians, scientists, and even spies such as Eve Gordon who made during World War II 112 parachute jumps into occupied Europe. Even in pre-feminist days, one of my aunts despite being married  had a career outside the home. She enjoyed the discipline of getting to work on time, the interaction with other people, and meeting new ones.
