I think that there should be absolutely no societal onus upon men to "step up" and rescue these women. No "looking askance" at men who honestly state that they worked hard to get to their station in life, and don't feel that they should have to "bail out" these women.
Our society as a whole should take all of the rhetorical energy currently being expended to convince high-value men to accept single mothers and instead apply it to inculcating young women with a better understanding of the law of "cause and effect," and that "actions have consequences."
"With great power comes great responsibility." Young women at the height of their SMV have great power. They should therefore be made well aware of the consequences of whimsically squandering that (unearned) power. For the majority of recorded history, that was the case!
Men in their late 30s are at the height of their SMV. Society should not try to "shame" them into squandering that (earned) power.
Regards,
Who said that men should ‘step up’ to marry single moms? I never said that, and neither did the woman in the video.
She only said she must have ‘high standards’ because she’s the mother of a child.
By ‘high standards,’ I think she means someone who is trustworthy, someone who understands that she’s a mother.
Maybe he has a kid, too.
“Men in their late 30s are at the height of their SMV. Society should not try to “shame” them into squandering that (earned) power.”
Agreed—but more importantly men in their late 30s need to exercise using their middle finger—when any authority figure tries to tell them what they “should” do.
That is part of what power is.
