Glad to see some others seeing the same things I am. The thing that I am thinking about a lot these days is the vilification of a lot of the kinds of talk you se on this site, talk about sleeping with women, talk about self-improvement, talk that is a specifically male conversation.
Somewhere along the line talking about wanting to sleep with women - and conspiring with other men about how to do it - became "hate speech"? and a community of men became seen as a threat.
It is nice how brutally honest they are about it with each other, but there is a lot of respect for women in this story, even among these playboys. Oddly enough, that is the part of the equation is completely gone, especially among the feminist community, respect for traditional roles of women: mother, wife.

"Equality may perhaps be a right, but no power on earth can ever turn it into a fact."
"Want him to be more of a man? Try being more of a woman!"
"It is easier to be a lover than a husband, for the same reason that it is more difficult to be witty every day, than to say bright things from time to time."
Balzac, Physiology of Marriage
