Margaret Wente, one of the country’s best columnists, has written an interesting piece on the changing roles of men and women. It’s all about the fact that women are increasingly more successful — better educated, more ambitious, more focused – than men. “Women are flourishing in this new world, but many men aren’t. Men have always defined themselves as providers — it’s the main source of their identity. What happens when they aren’t needed as providers any more? What happens when their sense of purpose is lost? The answer is, they become unmoored. They stop being adults” She quotes from a book on the subject, The Richer Sex, by Liza Mundy: “I’m kind of losing hope in men,” one high-achieving woman told Ms. Mundy. “My husband and his friends, they just love being bachelors – they love to hang around and smoke pot.” Other women make similar comments. I’ve been thinking about the same subject off and on for some time. At first I was worried. There’s little question that women are making great leaps and bounds while men, especially younger ones, seem increasingly to coast through life.

What if women want an actual man for a husband and not just a pajama boy?
Children need both.

Good sex robots are only $12,000-$15,000, though I still say a good marriage is a desirable thing.

Good Luck!
Nailed it!
Yup. For those of us like me who don’t have a special someone... it’s really lousy. :-(
Rosie wears my ring.
Just wait until there are realistic sex robots.
So could I, but that damn starvation thingy kept getting in the way. Other than that, this is one of those "I-need-to-write-something-by-5:00" puff pieces that's based on a sample size of zero.
It's fair, and it's beneficial for us both.
Not that I care cause if ya don't pay my bills you're irrelevant, but what's wrong with that? We're all GTG with it. If I was some "Steven" with a car and no tools it might be a different story. d:^)

Who used to be be known as REAL MEN are now kneeling in football stadiums for god knows what.Pussification USA,Inc.
If I didn’t hit the female lottery I would still be In Those shoes...hang in there
Then, instead of “providing” for some parasitic leech of a woman, they are free to provide for themselves, and to indulge in all those little luxuries they’ve always dreamt of ... like leaving the toilet seat up and throwing their underwear over the ceiling fan.
