For many decades, gender struggle have been important part of core mainstream politics, social discourse, culture, economy. In yesteryears, the gender politics was centred around the female gender. From women liberation to multiple waves of feminism, female gender movements were always on the run and was patronized by ruling class, capital, establishment etc and so much so that they have become part of our daily lives. But a new movement is growing in the horizon, the masculinist movement which is an umbrella term for all male gender based movements ranging from Mens Right Activism to MGTOW(Men Going Their Own Way) to Red Pill Ideology. While women gender centric movement was always there in history, gender movement based around men is a completely new. Let’s decipher how it all came to be.

To understand this, we first need to understand how different genders evolved differently. Human first lived lifestyle of hunter-gatherer in a structure of primitive commune. Men used to the hunting and fighting tasks while women did gathering and child upbringing tasks. Women give birth while men produce semen. One man can impregnate multiple women at the same time while one woman can get pregnant with only one man at a time. So it was observed by humans that, death of one woman will affect the reproduction process very adversely while death of one man will have no effect on the reproduction. Few surviving men can procreate and multiply the population while with few women surviving, the population won’t increase. As there would be many deaths, more births would have to be ensured to keep the population intact. Also, the best men will carry forward the  best genes and via that the future generations will genetically improve, so will be the collective as a whole. From this understanding, a division of labour based on gender came into existence where men were assigned more difficult tasks which included risk of death too while women were given relatively easy tasks. This was because a man’s life was seen less valuable than a woman’s, the reason is mentioned above. Hence, the concept of male disposability came while women were being valued just for gender as reproduction was necessary for human existence.

But for men need to risk their lives and take difficult tasks, there needed to be some rewards, incentives for that otherwise no man will fulfil that role. So the victorious men who won the survival of the fittest game were given more leading positions, given the best of females and were venerated. This was done to motivate men to put their lives in danger to perform all the difficult tasks necessary for the betterment of the commune like hunting, fighting dangerous animals and insects, warring with other tribes, dealing with heavy tasks like rock cutting, rowing, crossing rivers, seas etc and many more.

In primitive commune,both men and women were polygamous.Sexual activity and reproduction was mandatory for every member. Children knew their biological mothers while biological father was unknown. Children upbringing was done by the entire collective. Society was matrilineal.

Gradually human settled and learned agriculture. Then the matrilineal and commune structure remained. With the advent of bronze age, private property emerged. As men engaged in more risk-taking ventures and travelled far for purpose of hunting, war, trade etc they became property owners gradually. In order to ensure the transfer of private property to the next generation, it was needed to be ensured to be the same bloodline of father. So monogamy came into existence, institution of marriage is born. In Iron Age, productivity multifolded and there was a requirement of more population. So in order to ensure more births, strict division of labor was established. Women were assigned to giving birth, children upbringing and domestic household roles while men were assigned breadwinner role and compelled or incentivized to produce more for family, society and state. Thus came into being the system called Patriarchial family. Sexual freedom of both genders were cut down to ensure that only biological and legitimate children of the father were entitled to father’s property. It may be noted that from then onwards, children born out of legitimate marriage did not have any right to private property of their biological father. A strict segregation of property and non-property owning classes emerged at this point. Men’s social standing criteria became ownership of property and protecting the state while women’s status was associated with their father and husband’s social position. The concept of ‘consent’ also emerged at that time to ensure that only property owning men had the access to best of women. Propertyless men were relegated to slavery, serfdom and cannon fodder while propertyless women became dancers, concubines, prostitutes etc.

Patriarchy gave both men and women certain rights, responsibilities and imposed certain restrictions on them. Patriarchy orders men to be provider and protector while women to nurturer and mother. Men were compelled to protect the collective and provide for family and society while women were bound to give birth and obey their husbands. Anyone avoiding these were punished and outcasted (not man enough or not proper woman). There were many more rules, but for the sake of this article I am keeping it short.

The above system evolved through human history and was remained firmly until the industrial revolution.

When industrial revolution came, human society changed altogether. Old class relations were abolished. Money motivation became the primary motivation for work. The property owning class became the capitalists who dethroned old property owning classes. Non-propertied classes became the working classes who worked in factories, constructions and they lived through selling their labor in exchange of wages. As they did not own property, the importance of marriage was redundant. People need to move frequently from one location to another, so prostitution has to be accepted and socially recognized. Human needed to continuously upskill themselves to stay relevant in the labor market.  So children raising cost increased, and burden on men as breadwinner got multiplied. So men opted for less kids and encouraged female members of their family to be earners to reduce the financial burden. To increase profits farther and reduce working class bargaining power, women were made to enter the workforce. At that time, the working class gradually became politically relevant and socialist ideas emerged. Frederich Engels, co-founder of scientific socialism, stated in his book ‘The Origin of State, Family and Private Property’ that private property is the source of exploitation of women and existence of the Institution of Marriage is centred around private property i.e. without private property marriage and patriarchial family is defunct. After formation of Soviet Union, both genders were compelled by law to enter the workforce. This was gradually adopted in whole world. So in a nutshell, after industrial revolution both patriarchy and marriage became defunct for the working populance, what remained was just the inertia effect of the past.

Now here comes the twist. Women did not want to lose the benefits of patriarchy, they wanted to lose only the duties and restrictions. While men were so conditioned in patriarchy that they kept their patriarchial duties while rights were taken away from them. The propertied ruling classes, capitalists, state, establishment, society whose very existence is centred around patriarchy wre threatened by modernization and wanted to retain patriarchy at all costs. With the massive improvement of medical sciences and advent of reproductive control, life expectancy increased and also birth control measures came into existence. So women were no more liable to give birth and people could engage in sexual activity without any worries. This was a massive improvement in human sexual life. So sexual revolution came into existence. Women were liberated from their patriarchial role while retaining the benefits. Now, if men too emanicipate themselves from patriarchial role, then the whole patriarchy would have been collapsed and all those entities who benefited from it would have eradicated. If a man is not bound in patriarchial duties, then naturally he will live a voluntary life and will engage activities of his choice. He will not labor like oxen for ruling classes. So the patriarchial establishment wanted to prevent this at all costs. Accepting the material reality, they devised a system where women will have the patriarchial rights, privileges without the duties and responsibilities while men will have the reverse i.e. patriarchial duties without rights. Also, due to evolutionary purpose humanity was conditioned to think that life of an average man was considered expendable while any woman’s life is priceless. So society accepted tgis arrangement. Thus born Feminism which is Patriarchy in Decay. The biggest lie which is being sold is that feminism is fight against patriarchy while the truth is it is a continuation of patriarchy and a reaction against modernization. At the same time , the social justice postmodernism and new left replaced the old socialist left. In this politics, feminists apex/nadir fallacy was prominent as they compared topmost men with average women. They intentionally supressed the fact that in order create few topmost men, countless average men were sacrificed while women were protected solely because of their gender, the evolutionary reasons are mentioned above. So, women were assumed as victims and misandrist laws were implemented and it started to have effect. Another important tactics was controlling men through sexual urges. Creating ‘Rape Hysteria’ became a routine practice. This was done to remove easy sexual access for men and force them to enter into patriarchial role. Double standard was adapted for both genders. Single women were celebrated as role model while single men were shamed. Single-shaming has become a routine practice to force men into patriarchial role. Laws did not recognize gendered crimes against men by women while in the reverse case, a mere allegation is enough for kangaroo court mob justice. Male consent, male choice regarding sexual partnerswere regarded as heresy. The belief system was established that a man’s life is incomplete without a woman and family and he must spend entire life in servitude of others. This was done to ensure men toil day and night to live an involuntary life for the benefit of the political class, profiteers and social leaders. While opposite message was propagated for women. They can live life of their choice, whether they work or not, without any duties and are entitled to all the benefits. Due to lack of alternative mode of reproduction, this arrangement prevailed.

Now, another important question comes that why many men also supported this arrangement. The answer is due to evolutionary programming, men are used to see each other as competitors, women as rewards and family and social recognition as ultimate aim in life. This instinct is being enforced by the establishment as it furthers their purpose. Patriarchy also conditions men to be giver, not taker and asking for your own interest as unmanly. Patriarchy teaches that women are always weak, vulnerable, divine creatures who need to be pedestalized and pampered and believes women can do no wrong and cannot harm anyone. This very entrenched belief of patriarchy is the foundation of feminism. This is a very proof that feminism is backward and reactionary, not progressive as it claims. Feminism also support child labor for boys in order to subsidize for freeloading adult females. This system also ensures that new ascending men are destroyed so already established men in top of hierarchy is not challenged. This is one of the reason ruling classes patronize feminism.

Boomers and GenX generations support this arrangement to benefit from the exploitation of next generation males. These two generations seek to plunder next generation to self-maximize for themselves. They also derive a primal, sadistic pleasure in putting next generations into servitude.

Any human involved in involuntary activity is exploitation, especially if it is done without any compensation. So the current system is exploitation for men. Whenever anyone speaks against this injustice, he is silenced and hounded out by the entire establishment backed mobs. Feminism is feral in nature. It primarily moves by animal instinct as it is not based on any civilizational conduct rather than primal self-maximization. They have zero proper response to their critics and only show pavlovian reactions ranging from personal attacks, character assassinations to mob lynching.

This neopatriarchial tyranny has naturally generated a backlash and gave rise to many movements from Mens Right Movement to MGTOW. Many of them had limited success but fighting a powerful adversary is not that easy. These movements are spontaneous and radical and has potential to be a world changer if nurtured properly. Previously, taking advantage of the left wing misandry, traditionalist, nationalist, religious right wingers had infiltrated into men’s movements and tried to destroy them from within. They seek to return to traditional patriarchy which only makes feminism strong. The redpill and pickup community is interested in hedonistic self-centric life which will have no effect. Blackpill and MGTOW community is nihilist and pessimist. None of them have shaken their patriarchial mould completely. Sexual freedom and easy access to sex must be supported but that should not be be all end all in life.MGTOW has a sound philosophy. Many men having realized they are in a bonded labor system where they are doing duty without rights. So many men have shunned marriages, relationships alltogether which is a good step. Next step would be completely de-indoctrinating yourself from patriarchial mould and living an emancipated life free from any need of validation. So there should be completely new movement.

The approach of androcentric movement should change completely. The main message should be like this “Patriarchy is defunct. I do not have any rights of patriarchy. So I would not do the duties. Crimes against me must be recognized and no man shall be prosecuted without concrete proof. I will live life according to my choice and nobody else has the authority to interfere in it. My sexual autonomy and bodily autonomy must be recognized. My consent must be recognized. I won’t be expected to sacrifice for others just because I am a man. Nobody is entitled to the fruits of my labor but me.My life, my body , my choice.” The above words will the main mantra of the movement of male emancipation i.e. liberation from patriarchial duties, exploitation and all burdens.

Any man who seeks to change the system has to change himself first. Emanicipated men will lead the struggle. Those men who have liberated themselves from the shackles of patriarchy will be the flag bearer of that struggle. The aftermath of this struggle will be complete abolition of patriarchy, change in class structure, power structure and a complete new world. Monopoly capitalism and pre-capitalist systems will get a major blow as it will shatter their foundation.

In conclusion, patriarchy gradually evolved into feminism and the new changing material reality has given rise to mens movements which will eradicate patriarchy. In this article, I have summarised the entire thing. In next articles i will discuss in detail about every topics related to this subject
