Could the fact that feminism has made a large percentage of US women insufferable witches have anything to do with it?
I’m 22 while my husband is 48. Guess there’s something to this idea.
“Just 20 percent of those aged 18 to 29 are married, compared with 59 percent in 1960.”
A truly disturbing statistic. Might have something to do with the media’s continual barking that “young people just can’t make it on their own”...
I think you have a case of correlation means causation.
I know I’m not getting married again. Burnt once in a divorce is sufficient.
Or to use an old adage- why buy the cow when you get the milk for free?
Ping!
Another change brought by the leftist ‘Progressives’.
Free sex is just more Free Stuff.
No restrictions, no stigma.
Babies? No problem.
No need to take responsibility.
The government will pay to kill them or to raise them.
Leftists want Change, Change, Change - kill the old.
And the sheep follow without ever thinking about where it will lead.
Is there really any aspect of life that Progressives have made better?
What is the end game - complete destruction of civilization?
Exactly right!
Men (covertly) have pushed "Feminism" to make satisfying their sexual needs much easier than ever. Used to be that women could "hold out", and land a husband, OR, believe that sex was an intimacy with a spouse, not THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD or half the kids in a class she teaches....
NEVER has it been so easy for men to find "willing" women, at least as I've seen in 50 years of "observation".
Yes; women were made to THINK they are "in control of their own bodies" with the Feminism, but, in fact, they're being used and don't even recognize what's happened.
We wonder why families are not nuclear families anymore, but now the "norm" is where both parents work to pay the taxes and bills, yet, women think they've "advanced" from being stay-at-home Mom's, to "career girls".
Kids are maturing and marrying later in life.
I’m more concerned about single parents, and reduced population growth of the “Constitutional” demographic.
Men should take a serious look at the high honor of being a dad, and compare the worth of that to the effectively homosexual pattern of serial sexual liaisons and the life of a sterile drone.
Women should take a serious look at what feminism has really brought them*, and a serious look at mindless consumerism.
*Hint: look at the lives and faces of old feminists, and ask if this is what you really seek.
Just my two cents that are borrowed from the PRC.
It’s not just the feminist movement, but also the homosexual “rights” movement, which has disparaged marriage by trying to incorporate their perversion into it in a few jurisdictions.
Who wants to be associated with that lifestyle?
A travesty, but true. To back it up though, I look at The Pill and the fall of churches who came to embrace it. Seems The Pill and the resulting behaviors separated women from the church, as well as men.
The Catholics had that right and predicted the obvious. Flawed, for sure, and ignored by most of their own on that subject, the old Church is the only one of all of them left standing on the truth of the matter, and against birth control.
We Anglos are paying the price particularly.
main factors IMO:
Current moral state of females in today’s society makes many of them undesirable. No matter how pretty they look on the outside, if they’re a cheater or a biotch it’s not worth investing the time. Feminism didn’t help in this regard at all.
Longevity of marriage isn’t what it used to be and the cost to benefits ratio can be horrible if you get a bad one.
Cost of wedding.
Cost of child support if the marriage dissolves.
Alternate lifestyles. Pretty bad when you’re worried about whether your spouse is secretly bisexual or not and they have even more options to cheat.
Cost of living and money issues, Having to take care of another person if they dont pull their weight.
Responsibilities. Same comments as above.
And you wonder why a guy might not want to get married?...LOL
Women have become the men they want to marry.
I was going to say Bitches but I’ll go with it.
The point is the same.
Is that moron in the upper left flipping the bird??? He’s studying to be a dentist???? I wouldn’t let him work on my dog.
Yeah... but notice how the men are SMILING.... Two girls for eeeevvv-ry BOY!
Gosh, I wish I was back in college...
I see this turning into the friday night fight thread.
