Well, I am indeed fortunate. My wife and I are getting ready to celebrate our 21st wedding anniversary. She is a homemaker, as that is what she wants to be, and she is loving it. She is "old fashioned" (thank God!) and is the polar opposite of a feminist. I was lucky to find her, and she was lucky to find me. That's what it's all about.
Good "rant". What men need is more women who are real women not feminists.
I wish I knew what I know now when I was in my 20s. I would have stayed celibate until marriage and would have ignored all non traditional women. Instead, I fell in with the masses and strived to be attached to "cool chicks" who maybe, perhaps, might want to someday get married, but Heaven forbid that I would have ever raised such questions during initial "interviews" ... sad now to think about it. So, as a result, I bounced from one lib chick to the next, never finding anyone willing to commit for more than a couple of years. I wasted my 20s and only found my wife, who was a good girl, not a cool chick, in my ripe old early 30s. I am afraid to say, my case is fairly typical and if anything a best case scenario. At least I was open to marriage with my main mistake to stray from traditional living and from seeking tradition oriented women until I learned my lesson several times the hard way. In your case I recommend doing a detailed study to determine the most conservative place in the US and moving there, where you will be far more likely to find men who are tradition minded.
Seriously. I'm not joking.
Works the other way, too.
"Modern" women, inculcated with P.C. feminism, are just as afraid of marriage and motherhood. It doesn't bode well for the future of the species.
Nice rant! My brother is single, check out his picture on the Tax-chick page :-).
But seriously, I'm so grateful I got married 15 years ago, instead of being single now!
Hmm. Based on posts 52 and 88, you might have started a matchmaking thread. Maybe FR needs a category just for that..
The feminist movement, the lawyers, the insurance companies, the multiculturalists, and the pharmaceuticals have indeed wrecked this society. But all is not lost.
A few years back at the height of the sexual harassment craze, I was charged with SH by a nasty woman I had run afoul of in my workplace. I had reported her poor work habits and she got disciplined. She then threatened to get me and filed SH, saying I had kissed her on the cheek the previous Christmas. (I did...) But they still violated the snot out of my civil rights to run me through this draconian process, though I was cleared at the first level of investigation.
Nobody does docudramas on men who are falsely accused. Nobody cares. But get this, when telling my story in the years that have followed, women tend to believe me to have been innocent, while men think I must have done something wrong to get accused in the first place.
On the marriage topic, I have four healthy, grown kids and all are paired up. Even my cosmopolitan liberal daughter has a fellow. I've been married to the same glorious woman for 27 years. It can still happen. Even today.
30-something dating pretty much is a pain in the rear, isn't it? It seems most women I run into fall into a few categories:
- The kind who have followed the feminism movement since college.
- The kind who have married and been through divorce, falling into the movement because of anger and pain. (This is the man-hating crowd)
- Complete loons.
From my perspective, a great woman is a rare find these days. I know I could be doing more to find 'Ms. Right' but at the same time I wonder if I really want to sort through all the nonsense to find her.
I have had some fun conversations with women who seem to all have a large list of desirable traits for their preferred man. (Big wallet always there in some form)... lol
I follow up by asking what is the long list of attributes about these women that made them worthy of such a man?
Most replies began with a long silence (they never even thought before about that) LOL.
Most knew what they wanted, almost none even considered what they would provide from their side. I found that most interesting.
I also noticed that a woman who is an unmarried 25-27 starts to go into a major hunt mode for a mate since many of her friends are having families.
I know of one that tried to trap a famous athlete into a marriage. She was lying about using protection and purposely got pregnant.
He never married her, did have to pay support and he never saw the child. She never married.
There are lots of screwed up people here in California, you don't have them only in New York.
Feminism has helped ruin the normal family dynamics and it is reflected in the high divorce rate IMO!
Plus men don't need to marry if they are only out for sex these days.
California (as an example) has tons of young females that dress, look and act like that poll dancer Britney Spears.
You can walk into most stores these days and find your little available tattooed tart with the 8 inch micro mini skirt, 5 inch stiletto heels and a bra-less tank-top embroidered with the words "I Want To Be Screwed Now".
Many men here in California go for the Mexican women who come over because they are traditional and want to be women in a family and harbor no wild perceptions of life.
You can find what ever you want, just might take longer depending on what you are looking for.
The different thought processes between men and women are even reflected in our movie choices.
Men like the loud flashy stuff that can be low on content.
Women mostly like movies about a woman being betrayed!
What's up with that? LOL
I blame the leftist/immoral males as much as the feminazis.
And then there are the creeps on the "conservative" side who attempt to use the existence of feminazism as a reason to justify their wanting to take the vote away from women or draft women into wars.
Here is one for Feminists. eat $1$T and drop dead.
How many AMERICAN FEMINISTS have read your rant so far?
The feminist agenda is one of destroying choice, contrary to popular thinking. It is not so much about woman's sovereignty as it is about destroying man's rights and sovereignty. And the it is not even about enhancing woman's sovereignty, but about opinion making, anti-gun rants, and other social agendas and threatening wants and needs put to the fore. It also includes brainwashing little girls into hating kids and forcing women to go on their social agenda.
Why do you think they do not protest female infanticide in China? Simply because it allows for population control. Kill the women, no more unrully mob of youth to have to raise. Steinmen and the other hate children and hate women with children.
Maybe ask your long-term married females friends to help? (hint, hint)
Modern gender-style feminism was always doomed to be a deadend for women because the cornerstone of their screwball theory of male/female relationship is based on hatred of the opposite sex. Any lie or half-truth about "evil" men was propagated by these witless shrews to destroy the traditional nuclear family. Gloria Steinem has admitted as much. Coupled with their equally insane theory that men and women are the same except for physical differences makes them one the most evil influences on America since the advent of socialism ...which they are unabashed supporters of.
Excellent. An anti-feminism bump.
i've been reading university "critical theory"...ugh,
'scuse me while i vomit.
there's "the gaze"--that's how men look at women. tenured university feminists are making $100,000 per year on this stuff.
and, there's louis althusser, a commie, who killed his wife in 1980 and the french put him in a nut house, instead of prison. he died in 1990.
and yet, a lot of feminist "theory" is based on althusser--you'd think that a guy who killed his wife would not be a role model!
Hey...calm down...they will soon be going to Massachusetts and California...look at the bright side...if enough show up those two states might break loose and float away...
