“Men are tired,” Venker wrote. “Tired of being told there’s something fundamentally wrong with them. Tired of being told that if women aren’t happy, it’s men’s fault.”

What? Young men aren't rushing to marry the Sandra Flukes of this world? I'm shocked!/sarc

When you marry a woman, know that she brings the full government and legal system with her, if she wants a change of scenery, you lose everything, including your children.

A husband and father can come home one night and find the lock changed, and suddenly find that he is neither, and never really was.

I had that happen to a friend, he had the perfect marriage, kids, suburban home, a new car for her, and his old beater that he drove to work. One night his key didn’t work, and she waved him away from the living room window.

He moved into his car and was totally shattered and confused, but it was real.

The goal of feminism is similar to that of every other movement co-opted for the use of leftist ideology: Equalize everyone (except the very elite, of course), which usually means reduce everyone to the lowest common denominator so that all are equal, and equally miserable. In foreign, educational, economic, environmental, social policy this is plain for all to see ... if they will only look.

Leftist philosophy is ultimately a death wish, and only leftists cannot see it.

Women these days are very aggressive. Men like to pursue, it’s in their nature. Now... women pursue.

I had a friend whose teenage son was constantly being pursued by various women. They would shove into his pockets their names and phone numbers, call him at all hours of the day, and she even found one in his closet.

It’s so pathetic.

It’s not unusual that your ex hates you, what’s unusual and becoming common is when your future ex whom you haven’t yet married hates you!

One of the reader's comments were better than the article. In part they said:

Feminism on the other hand was primarily driven by Communists who wished to make women workers subservient to the State contributing to production and consumerism. Basically cogs in the machine. The Church, Family, children and patriarchs and Marriage stood in the way. So these had to be destroyed so that the people would depend on the state and work for the benefit of the state. That is feminism's origin. The rise of feminism and increased socialism and communism and practical atheism is all part and parcel of everything we observe happening around us.

Excellent!

The blame for this is not known to most people, but it is very deductive.

If you get a puppy, and never socialize it with other dogs, it will still want to mate, but it will see other dogs as “the enemy”. Why would people think that human children are any different?

In our society, boys and girls are effectively segregated from each other, both “self segregated”, and segregated by adults who consume their time with tasks for them to perform instead of socializing.

Most people assume that children are socialized “in school or church”, but this is not the case. They are too busy and in school are shuffled from class to class and school to school, with different students in each.

What they do not have is a polite, chaperoned social situation, for years, where they are kept from self segregating by gender, yet are not so directed by doing something that they cannot get to know each other, and the opposite gender.

In such a setting they would have to compete and cooperate, act in two and more person teams with the same people for a long time; doing things, thinking about things, and sharing emotions.

Children raised in such a situation no longer see the other gender as utterly alien, that they are people too, not great but also not bad, but mostly normal.

For children raised like this, dehumanized sexuality has far less attraction than the prospect of having a lasting and pleasant, intimate relationship with someone they are compatible with.

As a young male, I have to agree with this article. Most of my friends have no desire to get married and would rather just remain bachelors. Due to my conservative values, I’m obviously much more inclined to exclusivity, but the dating scene is quite abysmal for conservatives. I have no desire to date a girl who voted for Obama or holds liberal or feminist viewpoints, so that eliminates a strong majority of young females.

Additionally, I fully intend on signing a pre-nup. I’ve watch divorce ravage a couple of siblings, so I fully intend on protecting my assets. The way I look at it, if the girl intends on spending the rest of her life with me, she should have no problem signing a pre-nup attesting to ti.

It’s very difficult to find a girl who shares the same values as me, as well as the same religion. I’m currently dating a girl of another faith (I’m Catholic, she’s Jewish) and although we hold the same values, politically and morally, the religious disconnect may be too much in the future.

If I wasn’t supposed to be single someone would have married me. So, I’m laying in the sun on a sailboat being a slacker until future notice.

*Sigh.* Worried for my boys, now. I told my daughter, BTW, that rural electrification did more to liberate women than any laws on the books. Once upon a time we women were given a fabulous gift — getting more done in less time with less exhaustion — and look how we squandered it.

That and, our country needs revival. I say that after listening to the trials and tribulations of my 20-something co-workers.

People don’t need marriage or a partnership these days.

Our government has taken the role of spouse. But like the Hotel California - Once you check in, you can never check out.

Why would young single American women want to marry a single man when nowadays they can have the whole of the U.S. government provide for their needs?

I noticed this trend 20 plus years ago while my wife still lived.

Women can get more from having many men to bed and to give them money and expensive presents. In addition to women more and more often getting positions which allows even more permanent employment then their equal in men. Men are more often discarded at a certain point (either salary level or non promotion whereas women are less often laid off and are more often given pay increases (in return for or for the promise of sexual favors.)

I have lived 16 plus years without my wife and in searching for another such mate, have found that women would rather barter for the highest bidder than for the more faithful lover/husband.

I and MANY like me have grown used to the fact that to get a wife one must pay the price and that price is much to high and with many stipulations with NO guarantees of faithfulness.

I now retain a faithful dog who is much more reliable and faithful than the possibility that any woman might be.

Russian or Ukrainian makes so much more sense, unless you happen to stumble upon on of the rare good ones remaining here. Some good ones do exist here. But increasingly, that’s like knowing there is a one ounce gold nugget buried in the a dump truck of sludge from the sewage plant, and you are give a spoon with which to dig through and find it.

It’s more sane to go to better fields.
