Fewer young men in the US want to get married than ever, while the desire for marriage is rising among young women, according to the Pew Research Center.
Pew recently found that the number of women 18-34 saying that having a successful marriage is one of the most important things rose from 28 percent to 37 percent since 1997. The number of young adult men saying the same thing dropped from 35 percent to 29 percent in the same time.
Pew’s findings have caught the attention of one US writer who maintains that feminism, deeply entrenched in every segment of the culture, has created an environment in which young men find it more beneficial to simply opt out of couple-dom entirely.
Suzanne Venker’s article, “The War on Men,” which appeared on the website of Fox News in late November, has become a lodestone for feminist writers who have attacked her position that the institution of marriage is threatened, not enhanced, by the supposed gains of the feminist movement over the last 50 years.
“Where have all the good (meaning marriageable) men gone?” is a question much talked about lately in the secular media, Venker says, but her answer, backed up by statistics, is not to the liking of mainstream commentators influenced by feminism.
She points out that for the first time in US history, the number of women in the workforce has surpassed the number of men, while more women than men are acquiring university degrees.
“The problem? This new phenomenon has changed the dance between men and women,” Venker wrote. With feminism pushing them out of their traditional role of breadwinner, protector and provider – and divorce laws increasingly creating a dangerously precarious financial prospect for the men cut loose from marriage – men are simply no longer finding

IMHO, it seems they’re either all over you or don’t want to know you at all....
Do you know how many times my HAND has called me a male chauvinist pig..?
Save a lot on dinner, too.
Is masculist a word? Meh, better not to use it, if there is one.
Xenoestrogens in everything from shampoo to processed food is the culprit. Sadly, you probably heard that here first. Soybeans are straight Phytoestrogens... and try to find any factory food item without soy... it's a real "Purity of Essence" matter... it's causing men to vote like they have vaginas.
In their teens & 20s women whore around with every player and thug, they pop out two or 3 kids from different fathers.
Then in their 30s and 40s they decide they want a nice guy, but he must be 6+ feet tall with a six pack, show no sign of balding, and of course make 100K+ per year
All because they Deserve happiness
Gee, I wonder why no man wants any part of them.
I hear these complaints alot. Men want to milk the cow, but they wouldn’t buy the American breed. Some, in fact, are increasingly interested in foreign brides. Seems to me that there’s little wrong with the male side of the equation and the problem lies with who the women are being trained to be.
But he married for the fifth time shortly before the operation which he did not survive.
Modern marriage has removed any real incentive to compete and be the best man possible, so it’s a question of why bother trying.
Enjoy life and relax.
The genders are switching traits!!!
Exactly.
You do NOT want to lose one of those little parts. A bathtub is the perfect place for a rebuild. ;)

Prayers for peace your way, sir.
Also, perhaps you should make the martinis some nights - if nothing else, at least there will be martinis - cheers!
I hope you’re right.
LOL! I'd be looking for a surgery that I couldn't survive as well. ;)

two out of three, too bad about the balding though.
what if i wear a hat?
America flew the coop long ago when heterosexual women decided to join with the man-hating lesbians and abandon their children to daycare so they could prove to the world they could be men too. Once females decided to assume the male role, males realized they no longer had a role. Soon men found themselves asking ‘Where da women at?’
>>Hate to say it but with a lot of the young men I’ve met recently I don’t think all the blame can be laid on the women. Maybe it’s just that men aren’t men anymore.
Yep. It starts with their “single” mom who raises them to be a girl and that is reinforced by a school system that punishes them for being boys. Then, they are placed in an “everyone wins” soccer league in a sadly laughable attempt to satisfy their urge to compete. When they become interested in girls, the girls are already dressing like 1970’s hookers and that has to be intimidating for a boy who is just discovering his sexuality.
High school and college are a blur of video games.
When they should be settling down to marry, they are faced with a selection of women who are already “single” moms. Or they can find some ball-busting “professional” woman.
And they know that if they do not find the magic formula to making this woman absolutely happy all the time, they will find themselves divorced and indentured to their ex (if she is the mother of their child). Because, as we all know from Oprah, a woman has to be giddy with happiness at all times or she needs to put the husband “out of the picture” and go find herself.
I’ve been married to the same woman for 30 years and if I found myself single, I would definitely not seek any long-term relationship with an American woman today. I can’t blame the younger men to avoiding marriage.
Oh, great—another excuse for a Freeper misogyny thread.
