I have no problem with this as long as they stay together.

I think it’s a good thing. These couples already were living together. They were given pre-marital couple therapy.

Too many children are in need of a married set of parents. Anything that promotes marriage in the poorer communities will bring more people into the middle class.

Until gynosociety changes and family courts change and divorce goes back to fault divorces, and makes people take marriage seriously, and incentivized as a payout of cash and prizes for women for any reason they want, where men lose houses and kids on heresay,

there’s no good reason for men to get married to modern women today.

You must be real fun at parties.

Thank you for doing the women of this world a favor and removing yourself from the marriage pool.

Nobody should have to deal with such flat out hatred and vitriol.

Metmom you’re around enough. I presume you’ve already experienced plenty of his bad attitude on multiple threads.

I have seen it.

Funny, God ordained marriage and blessed it.

When Adam sinned and God confronted him about it, the first thing he did was throw Eve under the bus and blame her for it. The second person Adam blamed was God.

And on these threads, men are STILL blaming women for all the evils of the world.

There is indeed, nothing new under the sun.

"Marry Your Baby Daddy"

Women are not undriven snow. Get off your gynocharchy high horse. That said I valued the video. It was additive to society. Men should be fathers and husbands. Women should be mothers and wives. It is the natural order. High horse women should be shot into space to never return because they are well... as the famous Hong Konger said... they are assho

Protect Eve.

Never let Her out of your sight

Never let Her out of your house.

Stay awake Adam.

Very Awake

He’s got a fair point no matter how you look at it.

Stop going hyperbolic and drawing unwarranted conclusions.

She nor most of us are saying “women are pure as the UNdriven snow”, and you know it.

We just react to a proven misogynist we know well. That may include defending women as a group. Despite the fact I myself agree with him on many things.

As far as this video being correct - of course it is. Meanwhile the reply to which we react again is against it because of some kind of bias for women, as he sees it.

No doubt but blanket condemnation of all women is unwarranted.

I think he’s just pointing out that divorce and family courts are biased towards women. That is an objective fact.

Maybe he wasn’t very diplomatic, but there it is.

Are you familiar with the acronym MGTOW? It’s a thing.

You have insulted me and the other personally. For what? On what basis?

Meanwhile a clear jackass gets a pass. Nevermind the long track record he has.
