Has the pendulum swung too far, and is Trump the start of its swing in the other direction? An off-the-beaten-track article from JC Collins of philosophyofmetrics.com:

And How Trump is Using Game Tactics to Psychologically Rape the Left
The liberal left has a big problem.
Outside of eating itself over its own absurd policies of pop culture socialism and personal unaccountability, it is faced with the one thing it cannot beat. The leftist ideology has spent decades pounding on the evil male patriarchy and its perceived forms of governmental and cultural influence. But for all its efforts and scheming the male power dynamic is alive and stronger than ever.
You see, the male demographic has remained quiet for a long time. The strength which exists within the male spirit allowed it to hibernate while the world went insane. All the brute force in material existence cannot come close to matching the power of a well-timed and well-placed strategy. That is exactly what is taking place in the world now.
The cultures which developed since the beginning of human thought and organization all developed around the strong male power dynamic. This power dynamic has always been harnessed and focused by the passive female dynamic. Together both built vast civilizations and empires which spanned across the face of the earth and through the gates of time.
The male was the aggressive front force fighting the elements, nature, and other men. The female was the passive supported and tempered heart which gave men a purpose that was worth defending. This dynamic of life and existence begins to erode the moment either are removed or retarded.
A strong and vibrant relationship between the male dynamic and female dynamic makes a large powerful government redundant. The family unit and social structure which develops as a result of this relationship has carried humanity through tens of thousands of years, if not millions.
There was no need for a government or laws to force men to defend their families. Equally so, there was no need for a government or laws when men defended and cared for their families. The eventual corruption of the human heart across the male and female power dynamic ensured that both became dysfunctional and reliant upon the same governance and control mechanism which began to erode the relationship in the first place.
