Sour grapes.

Is your seat belt fastened?

oh, geez, here we go, within a few posts some goon will be demanding the repeal of the 19th amendment.

"women want security, pleasantness, and someone to care about (or for)them"


This article contradicts the way things are now. It's the women that like uncertainty (it's exciting), conflict (so they don't have to be accountable), and emotional detachment (so they can be themselves).

Judging by his other essays, he does not seem to be down with marriage. A healthy marriage situation is a very sustaining thing for civilization.

Thank you for posting this. Fred Reed is an excellent writer, day in and day out. But in this one he reaches the pinnacle of greatness. And, he's right. We are well into a Brave New World, inexorably, and we don't yet see all the consequences of that.

The United States becomes daily more a woman’s world: comfortable, safe, with few outlets for a man’s desire for risk. The America of wild empty country, of guns and fishing and hunting, of physical labor and hot rods and schoolyard fights, has turned gradually into a land of shopping malls and sensible cars and bureaucracy.

And this is the result of women? Who built all those shopping malls and cars? Think about it some more, Fred.

A healthy marriage situation is a very sustaining thing for civilization.

True enough, but define a healthy marriage...

This article must be a late April fool...right? That is how ludicrous it sounds.

A man and woman together the way God intended. I do not get that is where Freddie is coming from either. I like some of his essays, but seems like everything is about bashing women.

Fred Reed is a local Washington Times columnist and a national treasure!

[A Jovial Cad]

Ha-ha, so true. It's turned into a hostile old world for men who don't believe Oprah is a fount of wisdom. When they banned dodge-ball around these parts the "spokesperson" said it was done (of course) "for the children," but also went on to say that it was an "inappropriate outlet" for the "aggression" of little boys. The whole point of it was that little boys should be more like little girls--just one big happy androgynous species here on Mother Earth, you know.
What it will end up being unless something changes is just what the writer predicted: the worst of all possible outcomes, with the worst instincts of both genders setting the agenda and ruling the world.
*Sigh* Time for a stiff drink and a fine cigar....

[sauropod]

Well, as for me, I am NOT a denizen of the Gelded Age.

[hellinahandcart]

Oh, go out and kill me a mammoth.

Methinks all you have to do is watch Oprah! or JennyJones or RickiLake or Rosie! or any of a dozen other shows to understand whence Fred is coming from.
