“Just as many single men..”
The extreme anti-male bias in the divorce and family court system has made marriage and children highly unappealing for many men today. High risk of financial ruin and never seeing your kids, even as wifey gets a generous “maintenance” and child support payments. One of the main reasons women are not getting married as much anymore is that men don’t want to.
Seems like a narcissistic opinion piece.
Exactly. Liberals believe, and the Media and Hollywood do everything they can to promote that fantasy. GI Jane, where women and men can shower together and not even desire to take a glance at each other.
Contrived video of 110 lb women taking 200 lb men on in physical hand to hand combat, sometimes many at the same time, and beating them badly while she walks away without a mark.
Many of us think it is foolish and silly, but to liberals, it is dead serious. This push to put women in combat is going to cost us dearly in the next shooting war.
Not the way it happens in the real world. The following link is not a joke: it contrasts just the type of silly pretend about 'empowered womyn" with the horrible results of ... well, shall we say, "immigration" to Muslim countries (Warning: graphic violence and nudity).
NOT for the squeamish.
If Only Elin Krantz Had Used Her SuperMagicJedi Forcefield Powers...
Note, in the photograph of her corpse, how almost ALL the skin is off of her knuckles. Apparently fighting with everything she had...wasn't enough.
Incidentally, it appears this girl had once appeared in one of those oh-so-trendy "in-your-FACE" videos, in which she simulated sex with a minority immigrant while singing the Swedish anthem. Not everything is as rosy as the liberals want to force people to pretend...
It’s a simple binary yes/no decision. If a man who is even halfway awake hears the slightest hint of this type of rhetoric, he chooses “no” and moves on. Feminism really has simplified our lives. :)
Sad.
This woman probably only realized too late she had been fed a pack of lies, and like a lot of liberals, reality had been there in front of her but she had wanted to believe the fantasy they fed her so much that she just could not see it.
And she paid with her life.
Sad,
I wasn't exciting anymore and we simply did not have enough assets even though our income and net worth are much higher than the average American family.
I hope I am not remiss in my observations on the human condition as I have experienced it over many years. I have been married for 56 years and certainly had my ups and downs in this relationship. What I perceive and this is appropriate even in the political arena, that suddenly there is a call for "Change".
I read years ago advice in the newspaper columns for exactly the same problem that you experience. It was to "do something exciting and different with your partner. Go on a trip together- do something different". Ok, so far so good. Persons like myself prefer the same old traditional routine.
Having said this I then compare the voting public both in the United States and Canada. Alberta was the power Province last year. High employment, high wages, infrastructure work, influx of skilled workers. Thirty years of it-prosperity. Along came a comely woman and her socialist party, the NDP. What was the cry at election time? "Change".
The press got in the act, the standing government was Conservative. Against all odds the Conservatives were wiped out from power. Less than a year later change has hit. Not for the better, high unemployment, though no ones fault arguably.
What I am trying to say is this. It is within the human condition to become discontent with a regular predictable routine. Those like myself who survived hard scrabble in the UK, do not subscribe to change. Those that have it good do not always appreciate it.(What a ramble, please excuse this).
TM, I strongly recommend watching the video in the replied-to post. VERY interesting socio-biological analysis of what is happening in the West with respect to Islam.
Moderation here can be really uneven/squirrelly. That is a really interesting “take” on what is happening today.
Well, if it were the case that child support costs vastly outstripped child maintenance costs, you would have wealthy women and poor men. Yet, that is not the case, in fact there are theories abounding that for women to escape poverty they need to marry men (who are unwilling to marry, as many in this thread have demonstrated).
What I have found to be the case is that American men have a bad case of p*ssy afluenza and they will do and say anything to preserve this situation. That is particularly so since:
A) all I asked of my ex is that he would put aside money for his own child to go to college (which he didn’t), no child support.
B) upon divorcing a very large number of married men seemed to assume that I must be good and broken enough over the experience to be willing to overlook their marital status (which I wasn’t and didn’t!). Really changed the way I looked at a number of people!
I personally wonder how long it’s going to take all those men from the Chinese one child policy to figure out that they don’t really have to be desperate enough to beg, borrow, steal desiccated remains to be buried next to when there’s an entire generation of women in the U.S. who want nothing more than to settle down and have babies with someone capable of doing right by their families!
“Government replaces husband as protector/provider.”
For women who are “empowered” and “independent.”
Irony much?
Proves the definition of equality for women really means special treatment.
What people and especially women don’t realize is that the sexual revolution applies to men too.
Before the sexual revolution men would have been “programmed by society” to be good providers and the breadwinners. At least that was the mantra. Probably not perfect but it was the societal standard and at least there was a standard. Now there is nothing.
It is same “misogynistic” culture that states that men and women should not have sex before marriage.
After the sexual revolution, men are taught that women are sexual objects and the more partners, the better and with no commitment whatsoever.
Men are also taught, just like women, that if the marriage gets too tough — just split — and men are also taught that it is perfectly fine for the husband/father to hang around the house and not work (provide) and the wife/mother be the provider. RE: loser bums.
Ironically, this is the most frequent complaint that I hear from my wife’s friends — that there are few men anymore who are willing to “provide for their families” and that the women end up being the breadwinners. It is very frustrating for them. WELL, WELCOME TO WOMEN’S LIB LADIES.
Her contempt for her own mother is unseemly.
