I was divorced after 27 years of marriage and shattered by it.
Perhaps I would have ended up forever against marriage and even women in general. It didn’t happen. Instead, I met a gal about my age who had been divorced after a 21 year marriage who had no intention of ever starting a relationship again.
We feel madly in love, got married a year later, have had a wonderful 20 years together and have ten grandkids we spoil and a wonderful modest retirement.
God can do wondrous things.
Hear hear
Never give up on women...we all need our rib
No question feminism has really hurt the men and women axis
All fomented mostly by women who were fortunate enough to be atractivd enough to garner a mate or were disaffected urban married women like Betty Friedan
I think even young folks know innately what’s best despite all the turmoil but it sure seems to depend on their upbringing
Both my daughters like automony to a degree in their marriage or relationship respectively but both will admit in late 20s having education or skills is great but they are quite happy making a family and being mom or domestic for now
Or a job that works around marriage and child rearing part time
They prefer to have a man make the money and they care for the wee one
You can’t replace being a mom there for your pre schooler or home when they get off the school bus
My wife nearly always makes sure she’s home when our kids have gotten off the bus at the end of our long 400 yard drive or taken them down to the road on cold mornings
I’m old now but when younger in Manhattan or Los Angeles etc I’d find myself attracting fembot women including even activist Jewish women who even though repelled by a southern alpha male couldn’t resist something instinctive about unapologetic masculinity
“I know it’s not like I think about men and women but I’m just crazy about you or I know you’re bad for me but I want you”
The old paradigms worked for 1000s of years not because of male oppression but it was the natural consequence
Women today live in a false construct of security
