It still does. Get a woman pregnant, pay for life. Whereas the woman can abort, or divorce you and keep the children while living with another man. (But you must still pay for child support, even as the other man raises your kids.)
In the old days, the patriarchy imposed responsibilities on men, but also gave them benefits. If a mother ran off with another man, she lost her children. Father had full custody.
Today, the patriarchy imposes responsibilities on men, but no reciprocal benefits. Whereas the patriarchy continues to protect and support women, while refusing to impose any responsibilities on them.
Can't blame young men for MGTOW.
Well that is a lesson many young men seemed to have learned, as it seems in my limited bubble that unplanned pregnancies are more rare than when I was young; this may be because many young men don’t even date at this point.
I never blamed young men for MGTOW; I’m married with children but we are both from another time/culture. Because we live in an Immigrant Resettlement Zone (NJ), there are plenty of intact families - they are just foreigners.
We live in a matriarchy.
It accords responsibilities without rights to men.
A revolution was once fought about taxation without representation.
