I told a buddy - she has a hole in her that cannot be filled.

She’s 50. Very, very unlikely she will even find a relationship let alone get married.

It’s going to be hard for the younger women (20’s) to find men who will be at the headship of a household. Sadly, many of the younger women I know who wish to marry and raise a family are finding only “pajama boy” types to date. One young lady said she doesn’t want to be driving the train of the relationship while the man sits in the caboose playing video games..

As some young people say about your older friend: “Congratulations! Empty Soulless Vessel Unlocked!”

The same is true regarding the whole “embrace your homosexuality” mindset. It’s like telling an alcoholic to embrace it and drink more.

That people are attracted to the same sex is not the point, we don’t know why that happens but it does. That said, allowing it to DEFINE who and what you are becomes a long term problem. The results are the same, you lose your youth, become unattractive, unwanted, with no kids or family future - you’ve built nothing that matters as you age.

Even getting “married” doesn’t solve this, statistically you won’t adopt and will have “other partners” while married. Most don’t “marry” anyway. It’s no wonder their lifespan is short.

I only had a single child - which was a mistake. That I’m blessed with two grandkids makes me very appreciative.

One thing not mentioned here is women and minorities are seeking dominance, not equality.

True - but God’s plan for women to respect their men and for men to love their women, and form a cooperative team structure is the best recipe out there....way more unhappy/activist/obnoxious women out there since their placement in the workforce became not only standard but required for many households to get ahead...

She better keep her name quiet. If they ever learn it the femi-nazis will truly make her life hell.

My ex is a FAR left woman’s libber and she has got to be one of the most hateful people on the planet.

A neighbor, a single woman in her 60’s with a long career, recently told my husband she’s envious of his marriage, that he has someone to care for him in old age. She said in her next life she’s definitely going to marry. She’s very involved with animal rescues, but she said she’s tired of caring for dogs.

Feminism is an effort to disparage love, marriage and children — an effort pushed by jealous, bitter women.

And not just jealous and bitter, but so jealous and bitter that they want company, lots of company and they will do ANYTHING to drag other women down to THEIR level.

My mother had both a career and a family, but family came first. She had a feminist co-worker who constantly tried to get her demoted or worse. But Mom was a Saint who seldom, if ever, responded in kind. Mom was the type of person who treated the cleaning lady with the same courtesy, if not more, than another professor.

Eventully, they both retired and the feminist tearfully confessed to Mom that my mother was the ONLY friend she ever made in 25 years on the job together.

That may very well be correct.

My assertion stands.

Unfortunately I know many a marriage where respect is non- existent. Marriage isn't the answer to happiness.

A man can't be the answer to your happiness. If he's a good man he can compliment your happiness. Your happiness comes from within if you love and respect yourself.

...it is going to take a massive cultural revolution to overthrow entrenched feminist dogma.
_________________
Everything comes and goes in cycles. As more and more young people, male and female, see the results of this extremism, they will begin to go their own way, often together.

This week I learned that SnapChat is used for webcam porn shows. I always thought it was a social media site for the young. (maybe that isn’t a contradiction. IDK). I’ve seen the texts published from the dating sites..I wasn’t enthralled. I listen to the young women who all look alike trying to bully the men around them. Now, that’s destined to not facilitate romantic partnerships, if anything is. MGTOW will be lonely for the guys, too. Only the centralized state wins with the present dynamic.

I’m old, so I may not live to see sanity reemerge among the young, but I’m sure it will happen at some point.

The media will only report it after the fact, with appropriate horror as yet another scheme of theirs fails.

Stories like yours bring a smile to my face. I was fortunate enough to learn early on in my marriage that it's far better to be happy than financially successful.

Things that money can buy are temporary, or as I told WBill Jr the other day - "What's the point to being rich, if you don't have any time to spend it, or anyone to spend it with?". I hope he was listening.

Financial troubles, too, are temporary, though at the time they loom quite large. I wish you luck!

Same here - but the recipe in Ephesians is a good rule of thumb...if both partners follow it, good things happen....I had a really bad marriage the first time around but am married to a gem of a woman now...we both believe in Biblical principals and truths and most of the conflict between men and women these days is that the PC crowd has infiltrated so deeply that many find themselves doubting the Truth and thinking there has to be a better way....a culture of dissatisfaction breeds long-term cultures of dissatisfaction.

she’s 100% correct.

If you don’t have a kids there are a lot of people who, after a certain age, will treat you a little warily, like a Bell Tower Shooter in training.

Almost all of them are really polite about it, but you can still tell.

It’s like there are these huge question marks over their heads, made out of billowy clouds.

There remains something unresolved in their minds.

It’s not an either/or proposition. My wife (who has a very successful professional career) and I have five children, four of them girls. All four girls have graduate degrees and fine careers. The two oldest are married and have children. The two youngest will be married this Spring and intend to have children. Based on our family’s experience, it is possible for a young woman to pursue an advanced education and a career while still having a strong family live which includes children.

The REAL objectives of feminism:

1. Spite by barren women
2. Jealousy of ugly women
3. Desire of lesbians for more dating options
4. Desire by BigGummint types to indoctrinate kids
5. Desire by taxman that the work of women be taxable
