They weren't suffering for being feminist, they were suffering for having been feminine and playing by the rules.

Exactly! This guy is bemoaning that there was no woman who wanted to settle down and be a wife... after he destroyed his first marriage with a woman who settled down and was his wife. Ironic, isn't it?

once a woman finds out what it's like to have everything they need, paid for by their own money, and without the stress of marriage, Mr. Viagra here simply does not look that appealing.

LOL. That's so true.

My theory is that men like this one are faithful to their new young wives NOT because their wives are feminine and traditional, but because the men have grown older. I've known a few couples in which the Asian wives were about the same age as their American husbands. One woman - who fits the description of a gentle, feminine, pretty woman - talked with me a few times about her American husband cheating on her.

So, if this guy were as young as his Filipina wife, he might have cheated on her, too, just like he did on his American wife.

Actually, it's good that he finally settled down, and if it works for his wife and child, that's good, too. But, blaming American women, feminism, and American culture is just nonsense.

Yes. I remember comedian Chris Rock joking that men were only as faithful as their opportunities. Hopefully this is not true of ALL men, but the author of this self-indulgent essay is easily one of that type. He's unlikely now to find anyone who is interested enough in him to lure him away.

And there we have it.

LOL... it would just be a different essay. Perhaps on how female greed prompts women to trap unwary men for their money.

Yes. To cheat on one's wife and then blame feminism when finding a younger replacement is difficult shows a lack of understanding that is truly breathtaking. As if women owed him a duty of being available for the choosing whenever he's ready for an upgrade. What a childlike fellow.
