“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

My hubby and I have been married for almost 28 years. During our marriage, I’ve ONLY worked when I wanted to or when it was necessary. I’m not a career woman (spent most of my time as a receptionist or answering phones).

When our children were young, I stayed at home with them much to the amazement of most of my friends, It was of course the 80s. They actually thought I was nuts for not pursuing a career and didn’t understand that my family was my career. My husband was/is our bread winner and we’ve always accommodated his career which included sacrifices like relocating etc., which the same friends couldn’t understand.

Now that my children are grown and gone, I still do not work. I enjoy my hobbies, church, and I volunteer as an audio reader for the blind and visually impaired.

I guess you could say that our marriage has been a very similar version to Leave it to Beaver, except I don’t run a sweeper or do dishes in heels and pearls.

I get a lot of strange looks for not working or behaving in a feminist approved manner. And I gotta say, it bothers me when I hear women run men down. I don’t like it. I not only love and adore my husband, I admire and respect him.

The sad thing is, I don’t believe there are many marriages out there like ours. I am so thankful to God for my marriage, and I never take it for granted.

It’s not that women aren’t women anymore, it’s just that most of them are more addicted to soul-sucking television and other things that they don’t enjoy all the sex they should be getting!

All the Women are in love with Obama.

Other Men just won’t do because, just like Mitt Romney, they don’t care about them like Obama does.

I can’t imagine dating in today’s world. Barb and I will celebrate our 37th Wedding Anniversary Jan 15th. She’s still the love of my life.

This one is for her ...

I don’t know if any of what follows is apropos, but I’ll type it anyway (”That’s not writing, that’s typing!”)

Men, when they fail, tend to blame others, as my ex kept pointing out to me, and as I recently read, and women tend to blame themselves. As they grow older, men start to blame themselves, and women blame... themselves.

As I read some of the golden thoughts, as they used to be called, posted above and elsewhere, like on Facebook by my, ahem, “friends”, I find agreeing myself sometimes or often, and that gives me satisfaction for about 5, 10 minutes. And then? And then I remember that people like, say, Bill Clinton or Hugh Hefner (but not Obama, who’s pissed off at the world 24/7) don’t give a damn about your golden thoughts and wisdom, and seem to achieve satisfaction day after day.

We’ve told our boys that if they marry an American-born women, they won’t find us at the wedding. Just too likely to end up in failure, given the way the cards are now stacked.

I can understand why men aren’t wanting to get married these days.

What with the tattoos, multiple piercings, dressing like shit, acting even worse. Then when it doesn’t work out take at least half of HIS hard earned money.

What’s there to like?

With so many women now in the workforce, the size of the workforce is mucher larger than if it were mostly made up of men.

Fundamental supply and demand means that this holds down the purchasing power of wages earned from working.

Since women have entered and stayed in the workforce these last few decades in such great numbers, they are increasingly finding it financially very difficult to have a family and not work outside the home, not to mention all the societal pressures and desire to “have their own paycheck”.

Those women who are not “married” to the government are often “married” to their paycheck (there’s often no “his” money, just “her” money and “our” money). Increasingly, men either don’t want to or can’t afford to play that game any more.

The male “head of household” is what is missing in most households, which was the norm in bygone days when America had a lot more practicing Christians.

What's amazing is these morons who marry two and three times...Stoopid does not begin to describe these lumberheads...

It's the battered husband syndrome...

They keep being lied to, back stabbed, betrayed, robbed and kicked in the teeth, yet they keep coming back for more.

A sucker born every minute...So damn true...

Dumbest thing I ever did was get married.

Fortunately, I bailed when he stopped bathing routinely (he would put on a fresh shirt and a 3-piece suit and go into work days past soap and water)and started taking vacations with men.

I don't have to worry about STDs.
If I have car trouble, AAA WILL show up, unlike my ex.
I won't make the unpleasant discovery of my ex running up a huge debt--with nothing to show for it.
I can buy manual transmission cars, which I can drive and much prefer, and he could never quite learn how to handle.

If I found some (available) paragon of character, conservative political persuasion, with basic sense, who wasn't afraid of working hard and getting his hands dirty (is there anything sillier than an adult man reluctant to dig a hole to plant a tomato?)I might consider them...but the truth is, I haven't come across this kind of guy available or otherwise (I would never mess with another woman's man, but I can wonder why ANY woman would want some of these guys).

Being single ain't so bad. Being with the Wrong Person poisons every aspect of living. I was never so alone as the 10 years when I was married.

To compound this utter chaos, these young guy who wait until 27 or 30 to find a wife and settle down...All that's left for the most part are divorced women who have litters of kids from previous partners or marriages...

They're screwed...

Did I mistakenly come to Al-Jazeera instead of Free Republic?

Cause I’m hearing alot of men sounding like Muslims.

My woman needs to stay home.

My woman needs to meet me at the door with a drink.

My woman needs to “know her place”. Nobdy said this yet, but I haven’t read ALL the comments yet.

My parents been married almost 50 years. Both of the worked, because their marriage was a PARTNERSHIP.

Before y’all start blaming “feminists” y’all need to take a damn look in the mirror, and realize that being a “man” ain’t about being a Master.

Suzanne Venker’s article, “The War on Men,” which appeared on the website of Fox News in late November, has become a lodestone for feminist writers who have attacked her position

Hilary, get back to me when you learn the actual metaphor meaning of "lodestone".
