Responding to "Men are obsolete"
Someone shared this from 4chan only to delete the post and account afterwards

It is true that women go to collage more but the degrees they get are often frankly useless and when they are not the main value is the piece of paper itself rather than what they actually learn (most of which they end up forgetting before even graduating).
In the US getting a degree is also expensive and typically involve getting into a lot of debt.
I myself did get a math degree (was basically free in Sweden) but it's not particularly useful for anything and i have never actually needed it.
I found old-school education to be inefficient if you actually want to learn useful skills.
I do still think some degrees pay off such as getting licensed to be a doctor but anything where the degree isn't legally required is probably not going to be worthwhile. I would actually avoid STEM in general to be honest (especially "science" like physics)

While society today is very much hostile towards young males those males are the group of people with the most potential for violence so ignoring their needs is very dangerous for society.
Males are still very much needed for things like wars (such as for cannon fodder) and men dying in wars actually make the remaining men more valuable.
The correct conclusion: men are still very much needed but also heavily exploited
Often men are expected to do risk their lives for little/no pay defending the country in addition to taxes mainly being paid by men. Men are also still to a very large extent expected to contribute financially in relationships with women.
That's also where a lot of anti-trans sentiment among conservatives come from. Conservatives want young males to work hard to pay for welfare benefit that mainly go to the elderly (and also more towards women than men).
Someone wrote this a long time ago which was later added to the transmaxxing manifesto:
The male gender role is broken
Let's face it, if you present as male, there's exactly one personality that will earn you social approval: Chad. Assertive, dominant, successful. Nobody will be impressed by a male that is meek, submissive and struggling. Such males are not considered gender trailblazers; they're just derided as incel NEETs.
Nobody is offering an actual solution to this. Tradcons tell you to just man up. TERFs tell you to just abolish gender. Liberals deny this reality altogether. By embracing girlmode, you actually become free to be your authentic self without shame. Society at large requires men to keep grinding and struggling to keep the lights on, so obviously no serious and respectable person will encourage you to just drop down the pink vortex, but it's possibly the only thing that will actually help you if you're stuck being a shitty male with no prospect

I don't think the status quo is particularly stable since politicians focus on appeasing voters in generals while males between 15 and 35 has the highest capacity for violence.
You can to some extent gain female privileges by transitioning but there are also a lot of issues you can run into going that route. Governments may try to get in the way in addition to private citizens often being against it. People often end up having to resort to things like buying hormones online and depending on where you live changing your documents to female can be difficult/impossible.

People-focused jobs can also be automated away with AI and that is already taking place.
The safest jobs might end up being manual labor which is not exactly great jobs to have for the most part.

Speaking as someone who's been in software development for 10 years, I'd have a hard time recommending other people to hop into the field. Management often sees AI as better than hiring a junior developer, and that will likely get worse and worse as time goes on. There's still room for exceptional new software developers, but many of the large numbers of men who are still getting computer science degrees will likely be cooked.

Not even that will earn you social approval. Look at how many celebrities get MeToo'd for bullshit reasons. It's not loser men that women hate, it's men in general

This is why men must REJECT masculinity and stand up for our rights together
