I had to stop you there. Men spend billions a year on prostitution in this country alone, much of which goes to abusive pimps and human traffickers. That's besides what men as a group spend every year in strip bars and drugs. And it's women who lack discipline? Seriously?

Men have a primordial urge to have sex - and many have no other recourse than to wine and dine women (or pay for prostitutes) to satisfy that basic, urgent, instinctive drive.

Women, on the other hand, get to be "wined and dined." Women seek the attention of men chiefly because it strokes their egos - not because failing to do so every couple of days places them in a state of increasing physiological discomfort (as seminal vesicles become overloaded). Women who have no choice but to pay for sex are few and far between.

Under those circumstances, it's no feat for women to "exercise discipline." It's like praising millionaires for not sleeping under bridges, while lambasting poor people for eating fried dog.

As for your throwing "and drugs" in there: I have no statistics handy about differences in the rates of drug addiction and alcohol abuse between the sexes, but the general consensus is that women are just as inclined to "over-indulge" as men.

But back to sex: For every "Chad" or "Tyrone" out there who carelessly "sleeps around," there are three or four loose women who are willing to spread their legs for them. It is "accepted wisdom" (backed up, e.g., by anthropological studies) that, throughout history, a relatively small minority of men procreate, while nearly all females "get to" reproduce. Genetic tests have demonstrated that every individual alive today has about four times as many female ancestors as male ancestors. I leave it to you to ponder the ramifications of that fact.

Regards,

I agree with you. Self-righteous "conservatives" immediately jumped to the conclusion that she elected to be a single mom, without considering that she may have had a husband who cut and run ran, got involved with drugs, or some other legitimate reason for her to have to provide the kids with a home and safety.

Statistically speaking, we are indeed justified in assuming that she 1) has a faulty "picker" and didn't exercise enough good judgement in choosing the person with whom to procreate (multiple children!), or/and 2) filed for divorce (probably for whimsical modern-day reasons like, "I didn't feel fulfilled!").

We here in this thread are all operating in what virtually amounts to an "information vacuum." Her Twitter video represents the frustrated / peeved rant of a foul-mouthed young woman who - naturally - presents only her side of the situation.

In view of that, you can't fault us for speculating / making educating guesses based on statistical probabilities and "accepted wisdom" in order to fill in the gaps. This "opens the door" for us to advance conjectures about possible causes and effects.

Regards,

She does not lean right.

I totally agree with the rest of what you state.   My wonderful wife and I had our forty-ninth anniversary a couple of months ago.

Probably that’s the majority. But I’ve seen a few situations where the stepfather is a better parent than the bio mother, and who considers her kids his, 100%.

I have an uncle like that.   My aunt's first husband was physically abusive with her and he adopted my cousin with pride and has been the best father a man could be.   As I think back on it, a kid born in the fifties could be disciplined by a stepfather with no friction.

Indeed I can; and I did. And I'd do it again in the absence of further verification. Y'all are a bunch of snobs. Particularly you, grammar nazi and cutsie send-off boy.

Didn't take long for the personal invective to show up.

Why, when they run out of arguments, do people always resort to ad hominems?

You reduce men to a bunch of stupid animals, but the Bible tells us that God won't allow any temptation that we can't control. Maybe you don't believe in the Bible and that's your choice, but excusing men by painting them as a bunch of stupid animals only proves my point.

Men have been conditioned from childhood to think that their self worth is based on how many women they nail, but there are a lot of guys who don't fall into this role of having to shoot their sperm all over the place. Instead of taking a cue or just minding their own business, most men go out of their way to ridicule them or question their sexuality. Why? If some men don't want to live their lives as stupid animals who can't understand personal responsibility, then why should they have to?

And none of this excuses the money being spent on abusive pimps and human traffickers. If men think getting laid is more important than the harm caused by all of this, then maybe the feminists are right about men.

As for your throwing "and drugs" in there: I have no statistics handy about differences in the rates of drug addiction and alcohol abuse between the sexes, but the general consensus is that women are just as inclined to "over-indulge" as men.

That's likely true, but who do you think is buying much of it for them or giving it to them in return for, you know. Not to mention the human traffickers who keep their "products" drugged up.

But back to sex: For every "Chad" or "Tyrone" out there who carelessly "sleeps around," there are three or four loose women who are willing to spread their legs for them. It is "accepted wisdom" (backed up, e.g., by anthropological studies) that, throughout history, a relatively small minority of men procreate, while nearly all females "get to" reproduce. Genetic tests have demonstrated that every individual alive today has about four times as many female ancestors as male ancestors. I leave it to you to ponder the ramifications of that fact.

None of this excuses men for making abusive pimps and human traffickers rich.

Men earn more than women. Women spend more than men. Draw your own conclusions.

Details?

Do women spend billions a year on prostitution?

Are 40% of households with children in the US headed by single fathers?

Women are the ones that initiate most divorces. Children raised by single fathers, on average do no worse children raised in intact homes. Children raised by single mothers are a huge burden on society, on average. The exceptions are children raised by mothers who are widowed, they do about as well as others. Single mothers and their progeny are ruining this country. Case closed.

Single women as a group vote for policies that are ruining the country. Say what ever you like, that is the objective truth.

Much of what you said is true, although I noticed you left out the reasons women initiate most divorces. There are many, some we can both agree are valid.

But this.

Single mothers and their progeny are ruining this country. Case closed.

And who is forcing men to shoot their sperm all over the landscape and making these women pregnant? Who is forcing men to donate to the sperm banks? Men have power. They have half of what is needed to make a baby, but they fail to show any self control on who they share it with. Whose choice is that?

Single women as a group vote for policies that are ruining the country.

It was men who voted for the free traitor Republicans who sent our manufacturing, technology, and money to the Chicoms. Yes, both Clinton and Biden supported giving China MFN, but the Republicans men voted for were almost fully on board with it. The consequences of that stupid decision are obvious by now.

And what does any of that have to do with men spending billions a year on prostitution, or making abusive pimps and human traffickers rich?

Spot on. You can bet with 85% certainty everything you noted and said is correct.
