So true.

In the meantime... the Fed raises their kids. It’s a pretty messed up system

Millennials are smarter than a lot of the people in their 30s who were radically fooled by leftist media. A lot of 20s and teens are seeing how OVER THE TOP the bias is, how the supposed “liberals” want to control them and take from them.

Dennis Prager is doing a good media job blasting the universities, Hannity too sometimes. Millennials should use the universities for any benefit to their careers like my son will be, and get the f outa there. My son picked a program with killer internships. There ya go, right into the heart of your desired industry, meet people, show your strengths, and get hired. No gender studies, no sociology major... get in, get on track, get out.

Whoops, I forgot to mention marriage. Millennials should get married because..... Still thinking.... let me get back to you....

Neither they nor their teachers know anything worth knowing. But it is harbinger about what type of society we may expect into our future. So it is worth caring about.

yep. Feminism is an enormous drag on society.

In the past 3-4 years, I personally know of 5 couples - work, church, etc - where the mother had a mid-life crisis and walked away from her family. All of them involved little kids, some toddler-aged.

Granted, I don't know the entire story, but the dads in all cases seem to be decent guys.

Mrs WBill and I hear about incidents like these and are horrified. What kind of mother walks away - willingly, happily - from her kids? Little kids? I don't have the words for the contempt I feel for them.

In the 50s, women who did things like this would be outcast, and rightfully so. Now, our Brave New Liberal Society celebrates foolishness like this. "You Go Girl!!", "Who Needs A Man?" and such. Meanwhile, Dads are left to figure out what to do, and the kids wonder why Mommy doesn't want to be with them.

90% of American women these days are total garbage.

With charm and an attitude like that, I'm surprised American girls aren't falling into your arms.

Why would any man want to get married with the way the courts screw them over in divorce?

Fella in the bar a month or two back said, why is a divorce in California cost a million bucks... because its worth it.

Prager is telling the young guys to get married. It’s caused a fair amount of buzz in the manosphere.

Dennis has already been divorced twice but is sticking by his guns to get married and man up.

And here is a humorous reply, that is just one of many mocking him. Yeah I think the young guys are starting to mock the “man up” advice.

Why are these people so stupid?

Do they have any idea what it takes to get married, have babie$, buy mortgage$, insurance for everything, health care, cars, payments, clothing, utilities, food et al?

Those things take real good paying SECURE jobs, benefits etc. Same for the wife because she also has to work around the clock to play like they did in old America where all that was doable with just one income.

Well ...

A mother who grew up being taught that KILLING your kids is a sacred right (or rite) might consider doing that.

We are simply following Europe into the abyss.

Extreme socialism combined with uber-low birth rates.

That means you import the Third World to do the work and pay for the aging native population. The Muslim World Revolution in action. Demography is destiny.

It seems the only ones in any hurry to get to the altar are the same-sex crowd.

I didn’t marry until 37 and have no regrets. It took a long time to find the perfect woman for me. There’s nothing wrong with being selective. Too many today, however, don’t want to pay for the cow when the milk is free.

Its a different world out there, so some of these people replying cant relate. The attitudes shoved around in our schools and popular culture for the past few decades have turned out a chunk of American women that are unfit for marriage; promoting things like not taking care of themselves, no morals and promiscuity, a “you go girl” attitude of working at compromise in a relationship, etc. The list goes on...

For decades, all these young woman who never married wanted that celebrity live style with $ to blow. What most young guys had to offer didn’t get it.

Most will die alone.
