We’re still living in a man’s world.

Females wanted to be like men. Men, without responsibilities, only do as much as they need to do for themselves. Women wanted men’s positions, so men have left the bills to the women.

Trad wives from Asian and South American cultures are a thing for many American men for a reason.

The overall male participation rate for men aged 16 and over stood at just 67%, down from 73.5% two decades ago and from 87% in the postwar years when Ehrenreich’s story begins.

There are, however, other factors, too. The gov't has expanded the safety net to the point where you really don't have to work if you don't want to. Also, parents seem more amenable to the idea of a son living at home, even into their 30's.

They are the most miserable, anxious and insecure cohort in living memory — hardly great marriage material.

Even worse, women expect men to make them happy. If they remain unhappy, it's the man's fault. He has been "emotionally abusive."

Hence, divorce is morally justified. Divorce is the path to her "healing."

I believe if women could figure out how to train a dog to make $50K/yr, she’d have no need of men. I mean, watch how women treat their dogs and how they treat their husbands and tell me which they value more?

No man has to buy into the “bail out and play video games route”. Though he may be called upon to be patient.

No woman has to buy into the “career success and independence before marriage and children” route.

If you are a man or a woman looking for a good marriage, ignore these articles, because a man does not marry an aggregate, or statistical sample. He marries A WOMAN. ONE.

So, my wife married me when she was young, and I was older, but I had waited to find the right woman. I had told her that I wanted to be faithful to whomever my future wife would be. That was the right answer. She is quite intelligent, and was home schooled. I know plenty of college educated women, and she is more intelligent and better educated (Seton Home School) than most of them. She had no student loans, and though we wound up adopted, we agreed at the time of our marriage that we would have a “traditional” setup.

Her two sisters BOTH married good men when they were in their very late thirties. One had been in a convent for a long time before problems with the convent forced a departure before final vows. They other one had serious health problems that precluded marriage. They both found men who were just a little bit older, but who had never married either. These men are now heads of their own families, and both sisters are pre-feminist wives raising children.

The odds of either of them finding such a match on paper is about 1% each. They beat the odds not true luck, bit because their field of marriage candidates (traditional Catholic churches) is different, and NONE of the baggage described in the article was carried by them. The men also thought enough of themselves to not even look among the women described in the article.

Sleepy time gal, when all your dancin' is through
Sleepy time gal, I'll find a cottage for you
You'll learn to cook and to sew

What's more? You're gonna love it, I know
When you're a stay-at-home, play-at-home
Eight o'clock sleepy time gal

I’ve said it before. Every society settled on monogamy because it incentivizes the maximum number of men to work hard and be willing to defend that society. Women’s natural inclination seems to be to just go for the Chads even if it means being one of the Chad’s harem instead of pairing up with a man at her own level of attractiveness. The more government steps in to provide resources, the greater the temptation to revert to this.

Many single men without families thus have no incentive to work and if the West is ever pushed to the wall the politicians will find, no incentive to defend a society that views them as worthless and disposable. This is what the politicians in Western Europe are going to find out. A LOT of the native men will not fight for you. If they have nothing, then they have nothing to lose.

It’s as simple as men don’t want to enter into, won’t stand for, a hostile relationship.

The men and women described in this article are all without God and have chosen to live without and outside of the man/woman husband/wife, family structure taught in God’s word. He created men and women, each in a way that they compliment each other, and each is important in their own way. But this whole structure which insures happiness, is intrinsically dependent on men and women living within God’s structure.

It is not surprising that a majority of people have ended up miserable and hating each other. Biblical prophecy tells us that it will happen and become more and more prevalent in our world as they become more and more self-centered and anti-God.

Since the 1950s, she suggested, men had begun rebelling against the breadwinner ethic, inspired by Playboy culture, the counterculture and a desire for personal freedom.

Wait.... that can't be right. Women were still being housewives and mothers. They could vote, but that was it. Feminism as we know it was still a good 20 years away.

I have been told over and over on this forum that men didn't start rejecting marriage, women did. Women became feminists, entered the workplace, took over the colleges... and THAT was why men were drawing back.

And when I said that men started it, and women began supporting themselves because they had to, I was told over and over by the men of Free Republic that No No No, women started this trend.

Missing from the assessment is that an increasingly lot of women are just stupid.
There are endless examples of them being interviewed and asked simple questions like who is buried in Grant’s tomb or who is the Vice President and they are stumped.

Blame woke parents, the education system, the media and the democrat left.

We are quickly becoming a matriarchy.

We’ll be easy pickings for a much more masculine culture.

Islam? China? Russia?
