Young men giving up on marriage: ‘Women aren’t women anymore’
Life Site News ^ | 1-10-13 | Hilary White

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

Very few U.S. women know servitude and the Biblical purpose of marriage.
You can't do it without a good relationship with God, both of you.

LOL, who is surprised?

Premarital sex is the norm in America and almost all sexually active adults are virtual polygamists who basically jump from partner to partner over affairs or short-lived marriages. This is the biggest threat to the idea of family and yet barely anyone even cares. Fornication is what decays societies the most, but for most Americans, even so-called conservatives, it is not even seen as the threat it truly is.

When the milk is for free barring a dinner at the Red Lobster after a prom dance, no one wants to suffer a cow.

If you are single and 57 and don’t have some trainload of crappy baggage, take heart—there are about ten million single women in your age range with a trainload of crappy baggage looking for you...

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.

There are dozens if not hundreds of sites for an American male to meet foreign women. For these sites to exist there mush be millions of foreign women that want American Males

On the flip side, there are no sites for American Women to meet foreign man. No one wants an American wife for marriage

As the most politically incorrect joke goes

Morgana, I myself tried that online dating thing so many moons ago Saturn has passed twice (so it seems), this (My beloved freepers) is the only people online that I can possibly understand because I believe we all share a very common and purposeful goal.

PS: I will talk to you anytime

Also, perhaps you should make the martinis some nights

I do. It turns into a mutual bitch session about work. That life sucks. I didn't grow up with that crap. I had a mom, who was respected. I had a dad, who was respected.

We didn't think about who did the most work. IT WAS EQUAL. And my mom was feminine. My dad was a man.

Most women today are trying to live a man's life and they don't like it. It is unnatural and deep inside they know it.

The bottom line is that men and women are not satisfied in their lives in this age of so-called equality. We keep disappointing each other because we are so reluctant to recognize our natural needs. (those need are from both female and male perspectives)

When you marry a woman, know that she brings the full government and legal system with her, if she wants a change of scenery, you lose everything, including your children.

A husband and father can come home one night and find the lock changed, and suddenly find that he is neither, and never really was.

I had that happen to a friend, he had the perfect marriage, kids, suburban home, a new car for her, and his old beater that he drove to work. One night his key didn’t work, and she waved him away from the living room window.

He moved into his car and was totally shattered and confused, but it was real.

The cultural rot beginning (in earnest) in the 1960’s has certainly caught up to us. There’s no escaping it now, and sadly, no hope for this once great country.

The default position of American women is what men refer to as "the chip," a veiled truculence, mixed with a not-very-veiled hostility toward men and a shaky sense of sexual identity. The result is a touchiness reminiscent of hungover ferrets. There is a bandsaw edge to them, a watching for any slight so that they can show that they aren't going to take it. They are poised to lash out in aggressive defense of their manhood.

Spot on, you even encounter this on FR, and the younger they are the worse it gets. I'm not looking for a competitor or an adversary in my home life. God knows I get enough of that during the workday.

The goal of feminism is similar to that of every other movement co-opted for the use of leftist ideology: Equalize everyone (except the very elite, of course), which usually means reduce everyone to the lowest common denominator so that all are equal, and equally miserable. In foreign, educational, economic, environmental, social policy this is plain for all to see ... if they will only look.

Leftist philosophy is ultimately a death wish, and only leftists cannot see it.
