What are men fighting for? [1]

There are no laws or structures in place that marginalize white men, let’s get things straight here. There is no system that is victimizing them by keeping them out either.
But for argument’s sake let’s say they were being marginalized and victimized.
When Black folks were denied civil rights, they educated themselves, they worked to move up the ladder, they organized and marched and fought for civil rights.
When women were denied their rights, they educated themselves, they worked to move up the ladder, they organized, marched and fought for their civil rights.
When the LGBTQIA community were denied their rights, they organized, marched and fought for their rights. (I didn’t mention education for most I think were already educated via other movements).
When some white men “feel” they are being denied “something”…they stop going to school, stop moving up the ladder, they self-denigrated themselves with the involuntary celibate nickname, and fought to cancel everyone else’s rights.
No one has said to any white men, you can’t go to school, matter of fact they’ve removed the rights of others to attend, AA, DEI, so that white men could attend. White men despite having bemoaned the fictitious talking points of quotas have not rushed to apply to universities and filled the gap they created.
No one has denied any white men jobs and promotions, matter of fact once more the path of others has been blocked so that white men could have more choices and take up more space in the working and middle class. But again white men having filled the empty fields to pick up fruits and veggies, they have not rushed to the hospitality business to fill those jobs, they have not dispatched their lacking resumés to creative and demanding jobs to showcase their missing qualifications.
No one has banned a single man from being in relationships and having sex, but the conditions to be met to have said things have changed. Men have simply been told if you want to be in a relationship, you have to do your part. Go to school, educate yourself in other ways, meet your potential mates half way. But no, that’s asking too much of men, partners should line up and offer themselves to men on a silver platter to have the distinction of cleaning up after them and looking after them like the children they are.
The problem isn’t that men are victimized or marginalized, but that men do not want to change and evolve, while every other demographic is doing so. Men are not fighting FOR something they are fighting AGAINST change. And that is why there is no middle ground we can offer them to “change” their minds. Because again CHANGE is what they are fighting against.
That is the reason they flocked to tacoman, because he told them they would not have to change.
