When I was in college, I read a book by George Gilder, one of the wisest thinkers of the last half-century, titled “Naked Nomads,” which had a deep impact on me. It was about single men and all the pathologies associated with them. For example, Gilder drove home the point that the biggest factor concerning violent crime was that it is overwhelmingly committed by single men. (snip) Over the course of a lifetime, however, I have come to realize that while society was right about males, it was wrong about females.

Don't lump the smart women in with the idiots, just because they share the same anatomy.

Well it started with the 19(h Amendment. The first thing they did was elect Warren G. Harding.

Over the years, as I have watched women take over leadership roles in schools and churches, both have gone seriously downhill. When men have taken a large step back from that leadership, emotion rather than reason has taken over. It is not an improvement.

The angriest and most biased cable hosts and guests are women (is lawrence o'donnell trans?). And the loudest and most obnoxious are black women who don't seek equality but vengeance - apparently for having been born black.

My wife and I raised three daughters (no sons) and helped raise seven granddaughters (two grandsons). We taught them all how to think and balance their feminine emotions. All have graduated or will graduate from a major conservative church university. All are emotionally balanced wives, parents, citizens. Parents must be aware and fight what our corrupted culture is doing to our precious daughters.
Prager gets it right again. Thanks.

Yep. Touchy feely leftist stuff from women is a major factor in the downfall of this nation.
I love my wife, and I know MANY very intelligent, sensible, logical conservative women who should be permitted to vote. That said, I think that giving women the vote was an error. Flame away, ladies.....most of the women here are the sensible ones that I would welcome voting, for certain. But across the whole spectrum of "women".....they are in the minority, sad to say. I only befriend the sensible women, the others make my head hurt and confuse me with their "thinking". Kamel-face is an excellent example of the wrong type of women.

#8, as a woman I agree with you. Far too many of the women I know don’t think at all….they feel. Thank heaven I’m a “left-brain” type as is my better half.

Following up on #8 -
As a woman, I would gladly give up my right to vote if it meant that other women couldn’t vote either.
I have known very few females in my life that I could reason with. It is ALL emotion, ALL the time.
Like bashing one’s head against a wall.

In my 71 years lifetime, women have elected JFK, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama--all of whom were disastrous for our country (though likely women will never admit it), just as they despised our best Presidents, Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump, and actively opposed him, based on emotions and not logic. They have given us, in the desire to be first, the First Woman Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and whole Democrat Congress of unintelligent, ignorant, emotional members, such as AOC, Warren, Harris, Hirono, Gillibrandt, Corey Bush,Sheila Jackson Lee, Ilhan Onar, Ayanna Presley, etc.--all voted into office not by their capability, intelligence, or experience, but solely because they were women. Yay Women!
Some say the 17th Amendment was a big mistake. Perhaps so, but the 19th Amendment was a constitutional disaster, a suicide pact.
Every year, I find myself becoming more and more misogynistic.

The 19th amendment, like the 16th and 17th, is a failed experiment. It should be repealed, along with the 15th and 17th. Poli-sci studies over the years have revealed the political messaging changed after the 19th amendment from attempts to reason with the voter, to attempts to manipulate the voter using emotional arguments.
#12, a misogynist is someone who hates women as much as they hate each other. (Present company excepted, of course.)

I Timothy 2:12 (New International Version)—
“I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.”
That is so wise (and misogynistic, by today’s standards).
Paul knew the of the basic nature of women. That’s why God enabled him to be celibate without regret.

Leftist women, stressing the leftist part here, are some of the most vicious people on the planet. The trans thing is part of their castration fantasies.

As I previously posted to an article a few days ago, the so called "Mama Grizzly bear" women is pretty much an illusion. Once the "Men" were shown the figurative door, it was left to the women to raise and protect the children. We men (not the beta, trans gender, weirdos, etc. males) hoped that the women would do their maternal and virtuous duty. Meh...not so much. We hoped for real women, and alas, we got the weird toxic angry females to raise the next generation of broken toys.

Last winter I attended some high school wrestling tournaments, and one of the things I found out is that girls are allowed to wrestle against boys in our state. I saw a number of matches involving girls against boys and noticed a few things. 1. The girl always lost to the boy 2. It was almost never easy or pretty- girls are more flexible and harder to pin than boys- and the girls would get beat up.
Most important, many do the girls could not control their emotions. I saw several girls go out in a corridor after losing and have “meltdowns,” crying rivers of tears over a match they probably never had a chance to win. Normal boys and men do not handle losing that way. We get angry and sad and disappointed, but we channel that energy into a resolve to win next time.

#4, I concur! Look at what many non-liturgical churches (and some which are!) look like today - there's a stage, and it's decorated like a cozy living room. There's "relevant life lessons" on how to be a better, kinder you. Not much talk about sin because that's negative, and not nice. And we all know Jesus was totally about just being nice to everyone, and never saying anything confrontational. 🙄 The music is about falling in love with Jesus, and most of it sounds like a love song to a guy you really like. What man wants to sing that kind of stuff? It's uncomfortable and silly. And the churches, and by extension our world, are the worse for it all.

In the article, Prager cites statistics about the percentages of male vs. female teachers, teachers' union leaders, etc.. I wonder how many of the women are mothers. I would wager very few. Becoming a mother brings out protective instincts that would favor traditional lifestyles and perhaps a more conservative outlook. But emotions are raw and fierce and cannot be reasoned with.

I'm a 77 year old woman and I say get all these women, black and white and green, or whatever, out of the leadership positions and get executive type men who are leadership material back in. Everywhere you look at whatever entity has been led by a woman, they are in the tank. Look at colleges. Look at women mayors and chiefs of police. And especially where the women are of the black persuasion. They have ruined so much. After the news came out of Cassville, MO going back to paddling kids at school, I was remembering when I was in first grade in 1950. My school principal, Mr. Brewer, who wore a suit and tie to school every day, had a paddle board with holes in it. I don't know how I knew about the paddle, probably the story of it was passed on down, but I do know that school had no problems with kids not behaving in class. I don't believe women have to stay in the kitchen and bake cookies but they don't need to be in so many leadership positions either.

I don't think it's women's' emotions that are the problem so much as their tendency to follow the group. Women tend to value the group's consensus of opinion more than men. If all their friends/family think something, women are very reluctant to disagree, because they feel social bonds are more important than facts and logic.

Re #24.....I wish someone had told me that about 50-55 years ago. It could have helped a lot to grasp what was going on. As a hard core logical person, sometimes to my detriment, I would never have grasped that on my own 50+ years ago.

When I was in the sixth grade, back before the dinosaurs, our teacher asked one of the girls what she thought about something and she answered, “I feel-“. He stopped her right there and said, “I don’t want to know how you feel, I want to know what you think.” That comment really influenced me and I’ve tried to keep my feelings and thinking separate as much as possible. Being a woman, it isn’t always easy because females are emotionally driven people. We just are. I’ve seen it all my years and just despise the brainless twits we have now. Everyone is so emotion-driven. I even see it in our female leaders. Of which we have way too many.
I love history and used to get angry and upset at how females are treated in the Bible and historical accounts of females second class status, but as I look around nowadays I understand better who women were not given positions of influence and power. This is not an across the board condemnation, I know of some mighty women, but you have to admit, there’s not a lot.

If an inordinate number of capital murders are committed by men, should all men receive capital punishment? Then why should we extrapolate from the good points Prager makes here to conclude that all women should lose the right to vote just because some have no emotional control? The conservative worldview would lose two excellent thinkers - who vote - if my wife and daughter were forced to stay home on election day ironing their burkas.
How 'bout we just raise our girls to not be demanding, emotional tsunamis?

This article eats at me a little. My thoughts relating to it are new and jumbled for explaining but they are skeptical. It is fine to catalog the problems caused by today’s leadership but was all-male leadership better? Illogic and emotions ruled the day in earlier American history and beyond in numerous cases. Right now I’m reading “Battle Cry of Freedom” by James McPherson and I see, in part, anger, fear, pettiness and pridefulness in men as leading to the Civil War. It would, however, be interesting to trace the ascendancy of German intellectual thought, including Communism, Socialism and Marxism, with a failure of American leadership and intellectual integrity. Lastly, and I mean this not to be crude or dismissive but because it’s true in my experience: when men are around women their thoughts turn to sexual attraction including it’s games of seduction and away from the business at hand. If that is accurate, whose emotions need discipline?

As great political leaders go, Margaret Thatcher and Golda Meir were fabulous. But they were also extremely rare.

Arguably, the consequences of nth-wave feminism are to blame (just another variant of social Marxism) for the damage it has done to society...and to generations of women. Also, contrary to what the author writes, women are indeed inclined to violence and predatory sexual behavior, particularly in positions of power.
