Eradicating manhood with poisoned carrots and nail studded sticks.

A friend at my Church is on disability.  He had some physical problems for a few years but 10 years later, he's still on the dole.  Runs every day.  Disability has become such a scam that upstanding church goers openly abuse it.  It's one reason that men's labor force participation has fallen so much.  "Disability" is one of the poisoned carrots dangled by the welfare state - enticing men away from their role as bread winner - except through pity and charity.

The other driver of male withdrawal from manhood is our uniquely cruel and merciless criminal justice system.   We imprison 8 times more (mostly male) citizens than Canada.  Almost four times more than Saudi Arabia (!).  Nearly 50 million Americans are convicted 'felons' - the vast majority men.

A society that drugs boys so that they will 'behave', strips men of their primary role and treats typical male behavior as 'criminal' or 'diseased' will reap the whirlwind.  Falling labor force participation is just a very small canary in this disastrous coal mine.
