[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]America is suffering from an epidemic of fat, ugly, mean spirited misogynists and it makes me wish we had a hot war going. Men like Vance forget that significant proportions of men were typically wiped out in wars and cannon fodder was historically the main use of lower class men of peasant stock like him. This age in which the local idiot has the luxury of an internet connection and can sit around spewing hatred about women is no good. [/quote]

With all the hand wringing over the amount of male violence in the world, I'm not sure why people haven’t made the connection that the world hasn’t had a big war in more than a generation. Wars have historically taken care of the kind of men who now sit around ranting about how much they hate women.

Society has evolved to try to avoid war, which in the abstract is a good thing. But war is a natural part of life on earth and has always served a purpose, for better or worse.

When I was just a kid studying history and anthropology, I used to say that society would suffer the consequences of too many “useless” men. (I know it’s not kind to say, but it’s true). And we have.

Exactly. Wars also used up the violent, hateful men who drive crime rates. Being sent to the frontlines was a common punishment for criminals. Society has yet to come up with another mechanism that accounts for the fact that many (most?) men are not meant to reproduce and are not fit to be part of society beyond the point at which they reach adulthood.
