“Far too many young men have failed to make a normal progression into adult roles of responsibility and self-sufficiency, roles generally associated with marriage and fatherhood,”

Isn't that interesting? Men are expected to marry and father children to demonstrate their transition into adulthood. But women are free -- even encouraged -- to avoid both of those things to demonstrate theirs.

There would seem to be a double standard at play here.

I find it questionable that they are setting the age range for 20-34, when most self respecting men are going to marry around 30. We aren’t living in the caliphate.

Feminism is not about equality or balance, it is about achieving equality in all areas that women don’t have superiority.

Women seem to be moving towards “hyper-gamy”. The reason why “elite” men don’t worry about things becoming skewed towards women is that they benefit from the hyper-gamy while being the most able to afford stuff like child support.

Having a stable middle class, anchored with average working men earning an income that can support a family is against the upper elite vision... that is why laws don’t change, for example on child support, etc.

Getting married, having kids, and then getting divorced can ruin a man who was naïve enough to believe it would work out.

It has become obvious recently that the goal for all of the grievance groups - feminists included - that equality is not the goal. Dominance is.

The problem here is the feminists need males to voluntarily go along with their program, at least where matrimony is concerned.

Yes, it’s not that I don’t want to enter into a state-sanctioned contract wherein the other party can terminate the contract at any time, without warning or cause and will take 50% of my assets and my children away while imparting life-long, recurring payments to support their ‘lifestyle choices’. Nope, it’s that I’m ‘failing to be a responsible and self-sufficient adult’.

The author believes men are supposed to be chumps and marks.

In business such a contract would be unconscionable in writ and unenforceable. But families are a business the lawyers and states profit from so they write the laws the way they need to in order to make the most money off of them.

It’s a racket.

If they really cared about “the children” they would outlaw abortion and divorce. Instead they legalized and promote them. They are wicked, corrupt and evil.

IE,,, stepping into the role women have designed for you.
