I’m in that zone that it’s a pretty bad idea for men. But with one big caveat. There seems to be some kids in this generation that saw the misery their moms caused with reckless divorcing and career before family thinking. These kids also tend to be the more religious ones.
In a sense, they are rebuilding the model of marriage from long ago. I’ve seen a handful of these that are doing better than anything i saw among people in the last 4 decades.
So yeah, it’s a bad deal for any guy over 40 for sure. But a few of these kids might be the seed that saves traditional America.
You are right about that. The kids I refer to are indeed more religious. As mentioned, they are more romantic with each other, seem more committed - and these women are definitely more "feminine." I also agree that some seen feminism at its worst, and don't buy it.
It won’t change the family courts making 60 billion a year from divorce, and it won’t change the massive bias men face in family court, when wife decides to divorce him. Women initiate 70-80% of the divorces because they know they are not the ones savaged by it, and there is no change in this trend. Young people today sleep around more than ever before mariage and studies show the more a woman sleeps around before marriage the more likely se is to divorce, much more so than with a man with multiple partners before marriage. So I doubt this is going to be a reversible trend. It would reqire a draconian fundamental reversal in the culture, and there’s no indication of that happening.
