Why do leftists have such extreme difficulty understanding the simple concepts of incentive and disincentive?

Feminists have spent the last 50 years creating a society that penalizes men who wish to live a traditional life, and then scream to high heaven when men react to those penalties in a rational manner.

Human societies and civilizations struggled for thousands of years to create and perpetuate social and religious institutions that encouraged the formation of strong, stable, supportive families. Even immoral and downright evil dictators often realized that a strong state is impossible to build without a strong foundation of stable families.

From little things, like patronymics, that subtly help banish lingering paternal uncertainty and reinforce the impression that a man’s wife and children are his family, his responsibility, and a part of him, to legal and religious prohibitions against adultery and divorce, functional societies go to great lengths to ensure familial stability and respect for the institution.

Yet, liberals have worked to remove all of that and they’re suddenly surprised when rational actors don’t see the benefit in trying to create a family under a hostile legal, social, political and moral environment?

Whereas a husband and father 100 years ago might have to worry about the rare instance (less than 1% or 2%) of surreptitious cuckoldry, the husband and father of today has to contend with a greater than 50% divorce rate, laws that FORCE him to financially support another man’s bastards as well as a cheating ex-wife, divorce laws that universally favor the other sex, property laws that destroy a man’s livelihood in the probable event of divorce, a prevailing moral environment hostile to concepts of fidelity and marital responsibility, and a society dedicated to denigrating and eliminating the family.

Yet, despite creating an incentive system that only ever favors random, unemotional and unattached sexual encounters feminists and leftists are utterly amazed, shocked and disgusted when men act like rational actors and choose their actions based on an honest assessment of risks and benefits.

I’m reminded of the Soviet Union’s drive to create a “New Soviet Man”, trying to encourage the average man to be a self-sacrificing dolt that would happily work against his own best interests in order to support an immoral society of redistributionist leeches.

Today’s feminists apparently want the same thing - a man who will happily consent to sacrificing his goals and interests in favor of a woman’s (as opposed to both adopting new, complimentary life goals), a man who will consent to being cheated on, dumped, and forced to spend half or more of his lifetime’s labors supporting his ex-wife (or multiple ex-wives) and another man’s bastard offspring.

Marriage is a fragile thing. It requires a pair of mature, loving, devoted human beings willing to face life’s challenges together as one, including all the challenges posed by each other. Such an arrangement is essential to create a new generation of emotionally stable, capable, productive, and conscientious citizens.

Such a fragile creation must be protected - by a society that frowns upon the behaviors likely to destroy marriage, by laws that encourage the sanctity, stability and longevity of marriage, and by a moral code that exalts the ideals and behaviors that help build strong couples and stronger families. You can’t throw that all out and expect nothing to change.

But apparently the leftists realize on some level that we can’t all be leeches and takers and one-night-stands or f***-buddies, and that societies must have some people that work hard to build the things we need and want. Rather than creating a sane, rational system that favors beneficial behavior, the left would rather guilt, shame, and force people to behave irrationally.

Because their de facto leader is Hillary Clinton. And Hillary's Way is to smash and lie and cheat and steal and punish until you get what you want. Hillary's Way is to make people suffer, and extract obedience from them, and then make them suffer some more, and extract more obedience, until they break or die, and then you discard them, scream that they victimized you, and go look for another target.

Americian women have not only accepted Hillary's Way, they are attacked by other women if they don't accept it (which, of course, is Hillary's Way again). They train each other in these techniques, reward each other for using them, and punish each other for rejecting them.

It doesn't matter that these methods are literally madness, that they destroy the very society these females claim to care about and rape their own children into monsters and rip their marriages to shreds, and thereby guarantee the collapse of America and Western civilization and a descent into global war and the death of millions.

They.Don't.Care. They don't care because they have accepted moral corruption so profound, they can never look themselves in the eye again. They don't care because they have developed a taste for other people's suffering. They don't care because they become alcoholics to normalize Hillary's alcoholism, wear thick ugly glasses to normalize Hillary's visual medical requirements and hide her stroke, chop and dye their hair, wear black pantsuits and horsey plastic jewelry, develop a bar laugh, wear men's watches and witche's pointed shoes and attend meetings they.dont.talk.about to normalie Hillary. They don't care because they down antidepressants like chocolate like Hillary. They don't care because they've sold their daughters down the slut-stripper-pole to please Hillary. And finally, they don't care because all of these things have driven them completely insane - like Hillary.

If you value your life, stay away from liberal American women - and RINOs, too. Stay far, far away. Because they are not women - they are females of a new creation of frankensteins that have never been seen before. And they live on hatred and hypocrisy, and they fully intend to run Hillary's concentrations camps. They are the likes of which the world hasn't seen since 1930's Germany, and they Do.Not.Like.You.Breathing.
