When the media “reports” that men are “afraid” of commitment, it’s a continuation of a 50 year trend to mock and disparage men for their reproductive choices.
Men aren’t “afraid” of commitment. When men walk away from “commitment” and marriage, they are making intelligent choices. Fear doesn’t enter into men’s minds when they walk away from women in our “modern” culture.
There was once a time when marriage was an honorable institution. It was not that long ago.
As mankind rose from primitive savagery, to civilizing the world, men were able to bring art, beauty, truth and goodness to the human condition. Marriage was vital to the stability that permitted these advances in humanity.
Marriage was a balanced set of cultural traditions and values in which men and women supported each other, assumed gendered roles that encouraged them to support each other, and, provided a means for men and women to enhance their lives through the synergy of mutual care, respect, responsibility and knowledge for and about each other.
Those days are long gone.
Marriage is no longer an honorable institution. It is simply a device of the neo-Marxist state to exploit men.
Do you think that is an exaggeration?
Let’s ask some straight questions.
What benefits does marriage offer a man?
The answer is that marriage offers nothing to men. At one time, men could enjoy trusting a woman with his love and sexual feelings. Current government regulation, however, has, virtually demonized and criminalized every aspect of men’s feelings and sexuality in, and outside of marriage.
At one time, Men could count on marriages lasting a lifetime. This gave him, his wife and his children stability and the incentive to work together, as a family, for long term benefits and gains.
Now, women file 80% of divorces, within about 8 years of marriage, use the biased and oppressive family courts to strip a man of his children, his life savings, and leave him to twist in the wind without a support network of any kind. Our laws and family court judges are designed to encourage women to get a divorce, alienate the children from their Father’s protection, and, exploit men for the convenience and enrichment of the neo-marxist state . . .
Men are dying from suicide at six times the rate of women in some age categories. We know that one of the reasons is the man-hating (misandry) that saturates our institutions (law, education, military, religion, etc.), and, that the other is that a man loses everything in most marriages. To meet draconian government regulation of marriage, a man must abandon his personal support network of friends, and, when he is divorced, and impressed into the service of the state to pay child support, he no longer has the time or energy to form personal support networks of friends.
Men walk away from marriage and commitment with women out of intellect and common sense choice. “Fear” has nothing to do with it.
Why are men “afraid” of commitment?
Feminists will fix that by demanding every man must marry.
I was surprised recently to discover my wife had never heard of Men Going Their Own Way. I have to admit, if I were in my 30s or 40s I probably would be one of them. There is a great documentary on this, IIRC the title is “Red Pill” or some such.
Augmented exponentially by no fault divorce, which many protestant clergy championed in direct defiance of scripture.
That would be fun. The real world laughs at them at will. Being even funnier can be a good thing. :)
It’s also why something like 78% of all divorces are filed by the wife.
And they tried the ban “The Red Pill” movie.
One day I came home to find the Yellow pages open to Divorce Attorneys.
I got my shit together and started flying straight that moment.
A vision of a 2nd divorce is a bit scary to me.
Exactly right. Marriage is simply agreeing to give your partner half your stuff whenever she decides to walk away for whatever reason she deems valid.
I’ll never do it again.
On a side note, I just found out that my ex, to whom I was married for 20 years and divorced me in 1998, has dementia and my three daughters are trying to figure out what to do. I will not get involved at all. She is like an ex-girlfriend in my book and it would be insulting to my current wife of 21 years to be involved AT ALL.
I’m thankful that I’m not dating. I honestly believe that if I were a young man, I’d look outside of America for a wife.
Today’s American woman, in general, is self centered, irrationally empowered, and totally demanding. Women are the best, they can have it all, it’s a man’s duty to submit and serve. And if divorce happens, in most states, the man is roasted alive.
If you are a male, and don’t want kids, why buy the cow when the milk is free?
Family court in the People's Republic of Maryland is definitely not father friendly. I speak from experience.
Ping for your interest my dears :)
Because divorce will leave them penniless and without any rights to see their children?
That little patch of fur has destroyed so much throughout history.
I can’t decide if I want to answer a question about commitment.
What does a man gain by filing? Maybe he did like the house??
Because women think and look like their mothers at around 65.
