This article makes some very good points, but it is only half right. The other half of the equation is the fact that men are no longer required to get married to have sex. The women give it away, and a guy can have sex with a different women every night if he so desires.
So, on the one hand, he gets what he wants out of the relationship without giving her what she wants, and if he gives her what she wants(marriage), she could take him for all he's worth.
Where is the incentive for a man to get married?

You've just created a market for your little black book.

There's a rather obvious set of presumptions there, that at least partially contradict your point.
... and if he gives her what she wants(marriage), she could take him for all he's worth.
Stereotypes aside, I think men and women want the same things generally speaking more than you seen to believe. What we're left with is because of divorce laws, marriage creates too high a risk for men.

The women give it away, and a guy can have sex with a different women every night if he so desires. This points to one of the most moronic aspects of feminism. Feminists told women they would gain power by being sexually liberated but what the feminists really did was destroy one of the real powers women had. Supply and demand. Under the old system women could control men by limiting the availability of sex. Under the old system women controlled a biological need, like a water supply. That's real power. The sexual liberation movement was great for the demanders, but the suppliers lost control and power in the process.

The women give it away, and a guy can have sex with a different women every night if he so desires. This is the main reason why men are not rushing to the altar.

Most girls of marriageable age (18-25) are not looking for a husband.
They are looking for a boyfriend who can't break up with them without the President getting on his case.
