A Battle of the Sexes:If America’s women want men to change, they’ll need to change, too, for the sexes rise and fall together.
American Conservative ^ | January 6, 2022 | Carmel Richardson

Something is wrong with American men, and everyone can see it.

These failures of men are largely agreed upon by the political right, and even some on the left. Boys do not become men by passively consuming digital sex, social media, and seed oils. They do not become men by entering the rat race, paying into Social Security and living as permanent renters while their own savings amount to future pennies on the present U.S. dollar. Neither do they become men by skirting these problems and living in their parents’ basements, posting inflammatory online missives while remaining safely ensconced.

The New Testament is very clear in multiple places on the roles of men and women. God highly values both sexes but there are rather specific instructions. Many Christians, including pastors, ignore some of these instructions because they don’t like them. And yet we wonder why we have problems.

We want the benefits of godly behavior without the adhering to the responsibilities.


I think you have a great point here. Modern secular culture teaches everyone to go for whatever feels good in the moment and to want what they can't have. And credit enables us to purchase things we shouldn't.

This happened in dating world as well. Each sex thinks that they are entitled to a higher standard of mate than what they themselves might be. People don't have the perspective that no matter how wealthy, attractive, tall, or well-built we are, our personal merits are of no eternal consequence. We are all nothing compared to the eternal and omnipotence of God. Having that appreciation gives you humility in your actions. And it lets you realize that things which might seem inconvenient like marriage are God-ordained.

Too many men don't want to get married and too many women want to get divorced.

4 kids 25 to 34.

2 married 5 grands

2 engaged. Soon

Families do not teach their childen to marry. How to pick a partner. What is important.. to expect marriage.

To take them out of anti marriage and anti child environments.

People get what they expect.

“It is remarkably easy to see whether you are “invisible” to someone.”

Good points. I will add one thing: a preoccupation with visibility is a waste of time. Most of the time your important work will be in the background.

This the bra burning hordes fault. Now men really don’t want muct to high pitched scream bitc*e$ (women) think they are more equal and that they don’t need men.

Trump if elected will end the FEMALE FEDERAL HIRING PREFERENCE AND EDUCATIONAL PREFERENCE. He will also end RACIAL PREFERENCES IN FEDERAL (Mandated by Law into States) Hiring and Educational Preferences.

Let these women “Man-Up” by competing with men on an equal footing with no preferences for jobs, education, housing, small business loans, etc.

Let the rest of society (Racial Prefs) compete with all the other races equally and no female preferences either.

Once you quit the preferences, everything will fix itself.

An estimated 41% of first marriages end in divorce. (Wilkinson & Finkbeiner, 2020)
That number goes up to 60% for second marriages and 73% for third marriages. (Wilkinson & Finkbeiner, 2020)

Women initiate divorce 69% of the time. This figure shoots up to 90% for college-educated women. (Murphy, 2019)
The average length of a first marriage that ends up in a divorce is 7.8 years. (Wilkinson & Finkbeiner, 2020)

IMHO, until divorce and family courts become fairer with husbands, the above statistics, will push men away from marriage and family. Also, IMHO, the family courts are just exactly as the government wants them to be and so the courts shall remain.

“But to blame women is nonsense.”

Do you have any sons? Any daughters?

Do you not think women have embraced Satan?
. . . . . . .
Of course women can embrace Satan but a man needs to take RESPONSIBILITY for his own life, his walk with Christ and not blame other for his own failures. Men have for years scapegoated women for their problems when there was NOTHING in this world preventing him to walk with Jesus and grow in his faith. But most men would rather be lazy, wank off to porn and blame the world for their problems!

His “man up” campaign...

Stop shitting on men and criminalizing masculinity. And if they do "man up" and marry those sluts (Dalrock), they will end up getting cancelled like Jordan Petersen. THis is ON feminism, leftism, and women.

How often do you see an article critical of women?

Never. In fact, youtube is banning anyone calling for accountability in women.

Women are not innocent helpless angels, either, you know.

Is someone white knighting? Where women with their rising alcoholism rates and skyrocketing SSRI use are just innocent cherubs, who are just objects that are acted upon, never being responsible for actions?

Perfect angels, with no moral accountability available or needed. Only men are capable of sin. /s

Its blows me away when I hear supposedly traditional conservatives spout the same male degrading talking points as hate filled leftist feminists.

Not an intelligent reponse.
