That’s true; the divide & conquer strategy of the Bolsheviks has worked wonders between the genders. I wouldn’t call the unmarried men lazy; these are the children of the earlier generation that saw divorce become commonplace, and they have heard all of the horror stories. I suspect they would have wives and children if they weren’t 100% aware that sheer boredom on the part of the wife can ruin them financially for decades and steal their children from them.

Trust me, if it wasn’t the deck loaded against men we’d have a lot of men griping about the decline of marriage - and that just isn’t happening. They’ll take the cheap shots from the enemedia about living in basements, playing video games and so forth - and they’ll retain their economic independence and happiness. As a married father, I understand; I don’t agree with them, but I understand.

That, in a nutshell. In modern marriage, men assume most of the risk while a hypergamous female can have her kicks, and the kids, and the house, and a sizeable portion of the man's earnings. In my youth, I wanted to find a nice young woman with whom to settle down and have a family. The problem is, I didn't find much out there in the way of lifelong partnership material.
