Don’t forget the punitive Western World family court system and laws.
The woman can divorce the man on a whim, take his children, make him pay through the nose, then if he DARES to move on, she punishes him by withholding and brainwashing the children against him.
Doesn’t sound very attractive to me if I were a Western man.
You bring up a very good point.
I've seen women bragging about destroying their husbands on internet forums. The replies are pure encouragement and a "You go, girl!" attitude. Disgusting. I don't care if it is to be blamed on Womens' Lib, Cosmo, Oprah, or whatever. The result is absolutely real and is what we read about in articles such as the one from this thread.
What really amazes me is how the very same women totally FAIL to understand things like the emergence of the poorly-named "marriage strike" and cynical concepts like "game". Seriously, google a Marie Claire article called "The Starter Husband" and look at it from a Western man's perspective.
Sorry for rambling, but there's a ton to be said on this subject, and I've been drinking a lot of beer. :)
