Yep... marriage is just too risky for a man today. If his woman and kids stuck around that would be one thing. But if there's a divorce a couple of years down the road, he's right back where he started. No wonder so many men opt to stay single. Unless our national policies make marriage rewarding for men its better to avoid the grief and disillusion that comes with falling out of love and getting stuck with the bills.

Marry in haste, repent at leisure!

We're all so conditioned to viewing men as bad guys that it has blinded us to the observation that government is operating a system that routinely rips fathers out of their childrens' lives. This is a very weird thing to have in a human society. I can't think of any examples from history of a society where government took human young away from their parents on a routine basis. This is inhuman, and that we do it at all tells us that our government and our culture fundamentally view men as sub-human animals. One would not do this to human beings.

As for the reaction of the men in this article, simple algebra tells us that as 'repent' increases, the amount of time which constitutes 'haste' must also increase. For sufficiently high values of repent, haste becomes longer than the typical human lifespan.
