“He said ‘more men are withdrawing into the enclave of idleness, and pornography, and video games’ after being told masculinity was a problem”

Females are told they can have it all. In our culture and legal system men are told they are not important and are to blame for the problems. Watch commercials sometimes.

Is playing video games with your friends any different from, bicycling, playing cards, or playing golf? They are certainly cheaper than going out shopping. Is working longer hours to buy a large house, expensive cars, or jewelry for the wife worthwhile endeavors? Where is the criticism for going out shopping? We can’t criticize that. That is primarily a female activity. That is the way society is. Try to find a politician or a pastor criticizing women. Far, far more common to criticize men.

Many younger men are re-evaluating what is important and making their own decisions as opposed to just trying to please a female. Some do get addicted to drugs or porn. However many others are choosing to make wiser choices such as individual improvement type activities. Why should men get criticized for making these choices?

When a woman sleeps around, she’s considered a slut. When a guy sleeps around, it’s boys will be boys.

Men want morally and sexually pure women? Well, guess what guys? It works both ways. Women want that from men, too.

God expects moral purity from men as well as women.

A man has NO business complaining about not finding a good wife when he expects her to compromise her values before marriage. And no woman worth marrying is interested in a man who is willing to demand she compromise herself.

And women are not stupid either. They know the chances of him hitting the road after she puts out are very high. It happens far too often.

Or maybe they have no interest in sex. If a woman is still a virgin at 60 that goes way beyond religion. That is a red flag as in danger stay away she is as frigid as a popsicle.

Oh, BS.

It’s disgusting that a woman who decides to honor God in that way is demonized like you did.

We are not animals who are slaves to out passions. Well, not all of us anyways.

I disagree to some extent. Nobody exists in a vacuum. Many men are aimless because their direction has been taken away. Why should men be strong? The military says girls can be better combat soldiers than men. Why work hard? All you ever hear is that women deserve more money, deserve more slots as engineers, programmers, etc. anything that is more heavily male, not even formally limited to men but just heavily male oriented, is lambasted as “boy’s club”. I think most people are aware that popular TV has presented fathers as bumbling comic relief figures for years. Men will go down with the ship to make more room for women and children in the lifeboats, if society lauds and affirms that as the man’s role. If society says men suck in general and should shut up and stand aside, well, a lot of them are going to sit around playing video games and watching porn. It’s hard to exactly pinpoint when society stopped regarding anything men can offer as unique and worthwhile. It’s certainly not the fault of women per se, but it’s hard to ignore that at this point huge numbers of women have wholeheartedly bought into the idea, and seem to be stridently adversarial towards men.

My body, my choice. Old white men have no right to tell women what to do with their bodies. No uterus, no opinion. Millions of women believe these statements wholeheartedly and truly believe them. They view men with suspicious at best.

There are risks on both sides—that is for sure.

One real risk is that a couple may not be sexually compatible.

Unfortunately there is only one way to find that out—and imho both men and women would want to know that for sure before they are married.

I am not advocating promiscuity by either party, but marriage is a serious commitment and very risky at best these days—for both men and women.

Could either party get burned—yup.

But—a broken heart is better than an awful marriage.

A key that opens many locks is considered valuable and held onto. A lock that can be opened by many keys is considered a risk and replaced.

I agree with you. However, men should still pay attention and get back to responsibilities. Don't give up your man card!

“ And what’s he going to do about the woke system that’s punishing and burying men? He’s just piling on.”

Until he starts proposing things like ending primary custody + child support defaulting to mothers always, or he starts talking about ending no fault divorce, then it’s just words with no value.

Man, the girl from college who wanted to marry me would have made my life miserable. Half Italian and half Jewish she got the bitch from both worlds. And here boundless surprise when I got engaged to a smoking hot Latina after all of her idiot temper tantrums left me questioning her sanity, I was never going to marry her after seeing her ability to turn the joyful into misery.

My wife and I will have our 25th anniversary next year. We have never had a fight.

Kinda average looking, but great hearts. Pushing 60 now. They would have been loving wives and mother……

So what you are saying is that they are too ugly to marry but would make good mothers…. Gee, what about all those unattractive , fat men out there? Oh, wait…. They are too busy wanking off in the shower, pretending some young chick wants his larded ass!

Really? No woman stops a man from being a strong, manly, responsible man, but his own wimpy self.
……….
Exactly!

rt. Who can blame men for refusing to marry when there is a 50% chance of divorce and women initiate 80% of divorces
………..
The number one reason wives divorce is because of infidelity and porn consumption by their husbands.

Put out and being a Christian don’t jive. You either practice your faith or go to hell. Never blame a Christian for keeping the faith!

So getting off on sex trafficked children is a way to avoid problems? And you wonder why women get divorce from men like that. Wow!

The article says, research show other wise. Become a therapist and join Patrick Carnes, you can make a mint off of beating up abused and betrayed women.
