I have a job (have been working (skill labour) since I was 16), have a reasonable amount of savings (if I found a woman who had the same assets as me we could buy a house today), and later this year I'll own my car.<br /><br />But that's not good enough. Or I get the hint that it's BECAUSE I have all these things that I get shamed. If I'm not actively paying to improve a woman's life or in a huge amount of debt (I've been told 'when I was your age I already had a mortgage), or basically anything other than a indentured wallet, shame shame shame!<br /><br />Just a little rant.Peegeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16140657705118396571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600902089077918514.post-67576059285180528072012-01-21T11:10:36.888-08:002012-01-21T11:10:36.888-08:00That was a good read.

Coming from a "guy" who prefers to have his information delivered(TV) instead of going to pick it up(reading), that is quite a compliment. How could I walk away from an opening paragraph like that. I can see me in conversation passing off some this as my own, like "exclusive access to a woman's reproductive equipment in exchange for a man's resources--is no longer what marriage is". Spot on.<br />Lucky for me those concepts already existed in my mind. I never tried articulating them before. The first half of my life was defined by divorce, Mom and 5 sisters. A self proclaimed "not very well adjusted person", I think my odds of divorce would have been much higher than 33%. When i read self-help books it tells me to take stock in my life and one of the first things I think of is "well at least I don't have child support and alimony payments" I am starting to ramble, to much coffee, I am going to go read some of your other stuff. It better be as good :)Mike Sparrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02781211136581885071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600902089077918514.post-52950362384546233412012-01-20T17:26:46.119-08:002012-01-20T17:26:46.119-08:00Mmmmm.

Even THEN, i think men have nothing to gain from that rule(I personnally would feel very bad that my wife didn't enjoy the same freedoms i did, so much that i would strongly try to avoid marrying one in every situation). <br />I can't really relate to your fears of being "overtaken" by China(although it will eventually happen due to sheer population). The US will simply shrink to the importance of Gemany or France(today) while enjoying peace and wealth in a European Union-style of World Government. Noone needs to get poorer so that others get richer, and war is not coming.<br />But I'm straying.

The return to female chastity was...Hi jacksambuck,<br /><br />The return to female chastity was presented as an absurdity that I didn't present quite absurdly enough for the absurdity to come across. Personally, I don't think all women would have to do it--just more than 60%--and the value of marriage would improve. But no, I don't believe it's ever going to happen, at least, not as a combined strategy on the part of women.<br /><br />It might, however, if we continue to lag behind developing nations with more stable family values and higher birth rates, and whose GDP growth is outpacing ours. Solid families motivate men to contribute to economic and technical progress. Lucky for us (sort of), our biggest current and future competitors (Japan, India, China) are becoming feminized as well, so I'm not so much scared of being annexed by those cultures, but worried about a simple collapse of the system due to general unsustainability as more men walk away.<br /><br />In short, I was joking and it fell flat. :/girlwriteswhathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01589256798123593486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600902089077918514.post-72788639538662546632012-01-18T02:19:32.669-08:002012-01-18T02:19:32.669-08:00Hi. just reading through the blog, I find myself a...Hi. just reading through the blog, I find myself agreeing with a lot of your sober analyses and point of view. I really hated the part about "saving yourself for marriage" though. First because , as you said , "it won't work unless all of us do it " , which is basically just "it won't work" (one woman can satisfy the sexual urges of dozens of men). Why bother with a tactic that is so heavily skewered against it succeeding ? Secondly because it's such an incredible price to pay just to ensure the survival of the nuclear family. What ? Go back to the Good Ol Days of total sexual repression ? I'd rather be a PUA and never complain about feminism or women or my feelings (in their presence)for the rest of my life than support that ridiculous idea. What the hell, hero ? Did u think that one through ?jacksambuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09922459961882956226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600902089077918514.post-29090049430175763382011-06-01T03:00:58.200-07:002011-06-01T03:00:58.200-07:00Nice website!

The only way I can see women being able to bully today's men to start making the same choices as yesterday's men, en masse, is by returning to sexually unliberated days. <br /><br />I do believe that if the only viable option for most men to get sex was to be married, many more of them would do so. But again, all women would have to work together to make this happen. On an individual basis, it would never work, because an individual woman who saves herself for marriage--especially when marriage is viewed as peril by men--will only lead to her being forever alone. All women would have to stop giving single men sex.<br /><br />Marriage really is outmoded as far as what the terms now are. Though I do agree with you that kids will almost always do best in a two-parent household.<br /><br />And as far as gay marriage goes, the more power to them. I don't think they would have the same fears wrt to divorce, because they're much more likely to be treated equally by the family court system. No gender bias if both parties are the same gender, right?<br /><br />But yes, I find the emphasis on gay marriage as being good for children, while simultaneously propping up and lauding single mothers (who are almost always single by choice), and condemning fathers as "disinterested" when more often they could be characterized as "banished by the ex"...it's hypocritical. As hypocritical as having huge legal/government mechanisms in place for enforcing extraction of child and spousal support--at no cost to mothers--but none at all for enforcing fathers' court-ordered access to their kids.<br /><br />And yes, the article is not new. But the sentiment remains among young women today--that men don't want to get married because they're somehow defective, rather than that marriage itself is what has become defective. It's tunnel vision, but what do you expect from a culture that encourages narcissism to the degree ours does--especially in women.girlwriteswhathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01589256798123593486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600902089077918514.post-59259947519480844232011-05-30T07:39:15.146-07:002011-05-30T07:39:15.146-07:00Pretty good analysis of an article that's quit...Pretty good analysis of an article that's quite old at this point. I'm sure I've seen your points made elsewhere, but your writeup is unusually concise.<br /><br />The media is largely responsible for the imbalance between the sexes. Men are without good mentors and role models, and women are propped up beyond reason. With these imbalances in place, ideas like "father's rights" are either alien or a joke to too much of the population. These imbalances will whither as television dies in the coming years. <br /><br />Marriage should be redefined somehow. The only reason it should remain is that it's an effective characterization of a long-term relationship + children. It's proven that having two parents improves childhood for children. Unfortunately, the political left points this out when discussing homosexual marriage, but ignores it when it comes to heterosexual marriage.<br /><br />What /exactly/ do you mean when you say women should "save" themselves until marriage?Nealixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10500667265867814342noreply@blogger.com
