I respectfully disagree. You are looking at the symptoms of a society that has diminished marriage over a period of time. How we got here is due to the sinful and selfish nature of all people. It’s not just men or women who made it that way, it’s the negative feedback of selfish behavior of both that got us to this point.
I respectfully point out that, without disaggregating the participants according to age and sex, it is extremely difficult to make meaningful statements.
Like with crime stats that assiduously avoid mentioning that the "Minneapolis High School Senior" accused of raping and murdering his classmate is actually a recent transplant from Mogadishu and - although technically a senior (because he was enrolled under a "special" program) - is in actual fact a 23-year-old with an already long criminal record.
"If names be not correct, language is not in accordance with the truth of things.As already explained: The Pill (and 20-some-odd other factors - see my post #168 above!) unleashed the sexual agency of women (and of the top-tier men who could profit from it). The majority of men - unable to get their foot in the door of the dating market under these bizarre new conditions, reviled by society, and disadvantaged by the courts - are the victims here.If language be not in accordance with the truth of things, affairs cannot be carried on to success.
When affairs cannot be carried on to success, proprieties and music do not flourish.
When proprieties and music do not flourish, punishments will not be properly awarded.
When punishments are not properly awarded, the people do not know how to move hand or foot." - Confucius, Analects 13.3
By lumping all men together in one pile, and all women in another pile (and it actually looks as though you want even to lump men and women together in a single pile), you blur the truth and do the majority of men a disservice.
