The root of the disease is still with men though. I'm a big fan of the "weak men create hard times" axiom and I think it applies tenfold to the industrial age. Over the last century men have had less incentive to be strong and take charge, or they have had to do so in more abstract ways that are not intuitive. On the other hand, seductive femininity (fancy clothes, cosmetics, etc), which was once mostly the domain of the rich and privileged, has now become the default for every otherwise nubile woman.

The advent of industrial society is the driving socioeconomic force behind feminism and the culture of promiscuity that we live in today. Behind those females screaming against the patriarchy, a cohort of mostly male intellectual Marxist douchebags crafted their ideologies. Behind these useless idiot "intellectuals" are more men -- unprincipled but ambitious and capable businessmen who have no master but money, status, and carnal pleasures. These crafty barbarians are the ones who control everything; they enjoy the decline, for they are the ones who created it.

The challenge now is whether men who have become aware of these truths can assume a position of responsibility, find the will to stand up when there is no visceral motivation to do so, and rebuild society.
