Why Aren't Men Fighting Back? - The Sexual Assault of Men and Boys

[Dekalb_Blues]

It's destroying us

Gotta learn to love that ride back to the bottom.

Jade -- LOL! Perhaps my black-humour gland is hyperactive, but somehow the delightfully cartoonish simplicity of this Tarot-card image strikes me
as almost unbearably funny, depicting as it does a sort of ultimate and anything-but-subtle overthrowing of all sorts of human fond-hopes-&-dreams.
As the Scots poet Burns put it in another connection:

The best-laid schemes o' mice and men
   Gang aft agley,
An' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain
   For promis'd joy!
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_a_Mouse)

I can almost hear the comic-book-style sound effects: ZAP! BOOM! AAAAAUUUGGGHHH! CRASH!!! as various hubristic best-laid schemes o' men gang agley.

As someone who's been married more times than some folks have had hot meals, and who used to work professionally in psywar to boot (and thus is knowl-
edgeable more than somewhat about the spectrum of modes of conflict from subliminal subversion to nuking -- you know, there's a reason for the lasting popu-
larity of the old adage, "All's fair in love and war"), I just can't bring myself to factionally fault-find in the current approved, politically-correct Total-War-Between-
The-Sexes fashion; I espouse, rather, a philosophy of Sadder-But-Wiser-Compassionating-Of-Our-Incarnate-Predicament-As-Wee-Sleekit-Cowrin-Tim'rous-Mortal-
Beasties.* The co-evolutionary scheme of the colluding sexes -- the affordances their mutual harmonies and (seeming) disharmonies provide for catalyst up, down,
and sideways, eight ways to Sunday -- is way more complex than the imbecile, Victim-Culture-promoting reductive schemata cynically provided for mass consumption 
courtesy of the Usual Human-Society-Destabilizatory Suspects charioteering around the galaxies creating their characteristic brand of self-servingly divisive disinform-
ative mischief.
