He's too correct to be comfortable.

Licentiousness increases. This has been the long term trend in America since at least 1830. This will lead to tyranny, tyranny to a more Spartan morality (I hope!)

Fred is RIGHT ON. I'm a Canadian, foreign descent, dated and experienced women from India, Mideast, Britain, Europe and America. Young American women are absolutely in a state of deep hatred of young American (white) males. It is more than a "Chip", it is mass psychosis. Let me give you one small example. Watch Temptation Island; watch the attitude and negativity of the women. Now watch Temptation Island UK - the Brit version. Note how relaxed, cheerful and trusting the females are of the males and vice versa. It's quite an eye -opener!

Feminism has created terrible problems, no doubt about it. No one should want to marry a diesel-dyke.

But men who think they want nice, docile, self-effacing wives should think again. Not too many such women exist, even in other countries or in earlier times. And if they did exist, they'd get pretty boring after a while.

He sounds as bitter and paranoid as Susan. I smell a possible love match in the making.

Fred doesn't say he wants a docile, self-effacing wife. Just a human being who doens't instinctively mistrust and dislike men. And yknow what? Outside America they DO exist in huge numbers.

This is the most courageous and accurate article I've read in a long while, and I love to read. The author's words are chilingly true - most American women are unfriendly, selfish, rude man-haters. Most American marriages end in divorce, and most divorces are filed by women. And they do get the house, the kids, and the man's money. Then they move on to another man. Women don't believe the "man-hating" label because they enjoy sex with men, thinking this means they must like them. Young American women are shallow, restless and angry. And young American men are equally shallow and clueless, thinking that the cheaper and easier their "significant others" are, the more fortunate they are. Bravo, for an insightful, accurate and refreshing article. You'll be scalded by all the angry, embittered women out there, as I will be for agreeing with you. But who really gives a damn? ;o) Regards!

I have watched too many of my friends marriages go down the tubes and while it takes both parties to make the mess. The woman is most likely to be the one who "leaves", no matter what amends are made. I put leaves in quotes because she will actually stay but the guy will be removed although she ran out on the marriage.

I refuse to get married. I am now completely convinced there is not a woman out there that is worth my time or effort, at least not in the states.

This is good advice, if your are single and male stay single. it will be less headaches down the road.

For the record, Susan Reimer is an extremely liberal, PC, proNARAL mother of teenagers, who writes a column for the Baltimore Sun.

Fred is as bitter and paranoid as Susan. He has a point, though: a lot of women really are ugly-natured, manipulative, hostile, and as they used to say of Lord Byron, "mad, bad, and dangerous to know." Any man foolish enough to marry such feminist harridans--well, I won't say a man deserves such a fate, but he should have seen it coming. If a woman is nasty and grasping before marriage, how much worse will she be afterwards?

Solution? Marry a sweet-tempered Christian woman, a person of emotional stability, strength, courage in the face of adversity, calm, reverence, and joy. Where do you find such a woman? Well, not in a bar, Joe. There are millions of such women out there and most likely you'll find them in church. What? You say you don't go to church? Maybe that's half the problem. Maybe that's why guys like Fred end up in divorce court, sometimes more than once.

But men who think they want nice, docile, self-effacing wives should think again. Not too many such women exist, even in other countries or in earlier times. And if they did exist, they'd get pretty boring after a while.

Scuse me, Mr. Cicero. I have very little in the way of temper, and most people find me pretty docile. No one finds me boring, though. It's possible for a lady to be gentle, docile, supportive, and cooperative and still know how to break a stallion, write a novel, drive a front-end loader, handle a chainsaw, shoot a rifle, or converse skilfully at a diplomatic reception.

That's much of the basis of the problem. Nobody of intelligent sensibility can tolerate either of them.

In three days I'm going to get on an airplane and fly to Ukraine, to search for my future wife.
This article reaffirms my reasons for making this trip.
Guys, if you're single, and decent marriage material, you've got to go to Russia. The women there are everything you could want.

I know that my experience with American women has made adopt the motto, "I hate people in general, and women in particular."

Sorry, guys. You can't have her. I already married her.

See what's out there before you marry a gringa with her Inner Susan, who will one day burst from her chest like one of those beaked space-aliens in the movies, dripping venom. They're death.

Been there. Done that. Pure and utter hell. You're right - Fred's entirely too accurate with his observations. But who could be surprised at the consequences - unintended and otherwise - of the feminist Left's war against men and the family. This is only the beginning.

If it were only that simple.

I'm 29 and pretty financially successfull, townhouse paid for, etc. I would never, ever, even consider marrying an American woman. Period. Know too many friends that ended up w/nothing but an apartment and some old furniture and the wife gets the kids and the rest. Screw that.

Some of these women Fred Reed complains about should be sent on a cultural exchange to the Middle East as wives for the local men.

Six months there will give them a new-found appreciation for the men at home.

What about pre-nups for the common folk? Could they be used to build in a little security in the event of divorce?
