Good morning.
I apologize for not getting this out yesterday but I was a bit pressed on time this weekend and over the Monday holiday.
We will have plenty of time to review markets, crypto opportunities, and more on Friday morning. I hope you listened to the last paid post on crypto, as our picks are looking prime right about now. In addition to that we had an absurd thread from an ex engineer at Anthropic who posted that he thinks there is a high chance that AI will kill us all (not joking) by 2030….
As of now odds they IPO by the end of October sit at 60% on Polymarket. A nice surprise to drop that thread right before eh!?
Today though we’re going to dive into the insane feminization of the Western World, given it has been a major theme in news (with the Lindsay Clancy trial), with economics (with 98/100 new jobs in the US in August going to women), and socially/politically with major right wing victories in Germany and growing calls for the repeal of the 19th Amendment in the US.
The gentle truth?
We entirely restructured and gutted institutions around a feminine worldview that increasingly treats traditionally masculine behavior as something to suppress while simultaneously destroying or outsourcing many of the institutions that historically gave men purpose, status, responsibility, and a path toward family formation.
Many women believe men are now useless.
There is no active war at home to fight. We let criminals run amok, so there’s no need for supporting law enforcement. Food, shelter, and entertainment is abundant for now. Social media and TikTok provide endless dopamine and opportunities to get attention. Onlyfans, porn, and thirst traps are par for the course for an alarming number of women.
Their boomer fathers support their lifestyles and then take to X like General Flynn last night to tell men they “just need to work harder”. They dominate many corporate roles and are in college at a higher rate than male counterparts. The government, state, and legal system favors them over men.
Their ideology on fertility, life, and family building is now changing as well.
A 2023 Pew Research Center survey said that almost half of US women didn’t view marriage as an important element of a fulfilling life, as reported by the Wall Street Journal, and almost 54% of women between the ages of 18-40 declared themselves as single, according to an analysis of census data by the Aspen Economic Strategy Group as well.
Marriage, sex, dating, etc. are one thing, but what people are beginning to see is that this hyper feminization of the US and Western society is going to be much more impactful than we realize.
The Lindsay Clancy case highlighted that there is a twisted anti male/victim complex alive and well within many women’s minds in this country (beta males as well). Most men look at something like that and are immediately disgusted and angered, but a surprising amount of women took to the internet to turn this event into the next culture war battleground.
At the exact same time, young men and women are separating politically, economically, romantically, and increasingly morally.
They are attending college at different rates. They are approaching marriage and children differently. They are consuming completely different information online. They are voting differently.
And increasingly (and most alarmingly), they don’t even seem to agree on the basic questions of who deserves sympathy, what constitutes accountability, what a family should look like, what a nation owes its citizens, or what men and women owe each other.
That is an extraordinarily dangerous fracture for our civilization……..

Recognizing What’s Taken Place
Accurately diagnosing the serious predicament the West is in right now requires you to begin with biology and with what has transpired over the last 20 years.
We moved from expanding the options available to women toward building a feminist culture and economy that increasingly treats one particular option: the career first, economically independent, perpetually productive individual, as the highest form of success.
Right alongside this, there’s been an extensive war on men and masculinity.
Unless you’ve found yourself on nicher parts of the internet over the last several years, you may not have stumbled upon the slang “Longhouse”.
This term (alluding to northeastern Native American societies, where women held central leadership, economic, and social power as the heads of the matrilineal longhouse communities) is used to describe modern Western society as an over regulated, matriarchal, and overly communal environment that stifles individualism and traditional masculine values.
And regardless of whether the term offends you or not, you don’t need to look far to see the allegory.
Schools dominated by female teachers
Massive corporate HR departments (72% of all HR jobs) who now control hiring
Huge surges in corporate roles for women driven by selective hiring (recently it was 98%)
College campuses (58% of all students)
The rise of Onlyfans, influencers, and social media
Divorce laws, legal precedents, etc.
Our society discourages traditional male traits and qualities (the ones that built nations). I can’t tell you how rampant this all was when I was in corporate. It was wild. You could tell when your normal aggression, initiative, directness, or boldness rubbed people (and women the wrong way). It was seen as a micro-aggression. Your politics if you weren’t a complete soyboy, suddenly became a billboard simply by the way you conducted yourself.
It was wild to watch. It got 10x worse when Covid hit.
No disclaimer is necessary on my part (given all of this is fact) but I want to start out by saying……
