RC that pic does NOT represent the feminist woman at all!
Nope sorry! Not in the least.
Try something with a little more diesel in it.
It's a societal characteristic. Victims get a pass on doing anything for themselves. If a person can't actually achieve public Victimhood, he can try to pick up the vibe by feeling really, really bad for victims and supporting hugs and handouts to victims.
I like to say, "I'm not a victim: I'm a perpetrator!" which is a way of saying, "I'm the subject of my sentences, not the object."
Given today’s society ... unless both partners believe in traditional values the odds for a lasting marriage are pretty dim
The fact is, our culture promotes having fun and easy sex. I waited to get married for a lot longer than my parents did because, frankly it was fun. I have friends who are still single, they just keeping hanging out with younger girls. By late 20s, most girls are ready to settle down. It used to be early 20s or earlier.
Why would most guys be encouraged to settle down when they can live single, get girls, and have a good time? It is a cultural change, and not one that has been good for our nation.
Rush is in the running for “Maybe the common element in all your failed relationships is YOU.” Him and Taylor Swift ;-).
Then the long courtship full of hand holding and brief, discreet kisses. The thrill of praying beside her at Mass, knowing that their souls were uniting, knowing that the reined passions would be released on the wedding night, when they, like two deer maddened by love, would dance in the holy forest under skies crammed with singing stars. A great joy was hidden in their longing. He and Carol discussed it often, murmuring consolations and reminders, waiting together for the sacrament, as love deepened and deepened until it seemed there was no bottom to the reservoir. When the reservoir fountained at last, there was no holding it back; it became a river, became a flood, then spilled into the oceanic cosmos of supernatural love, natural and supernatural flowing together in potent-fertile joy. They drowned in it and were born.http://www.fightingirishthomas.com/2012/02/parable-of-prodigal-papa-michael-d.html
How poor were the tumbled metaphors with which he had sought to express something that was—was everything: the mystery of love. The dance of love. The sea of love. The kingdom of love. The night Jacob was conceived, the night Andrew came into existence. The countless tender moments.
The fire that burned but did not consume, two small flames that filled the whole realm of their covenant, uniting into a single flame that was greater than the sum of its provinces. They had no need for lands, or money, or power. Their bed was consecrated and joy filled; its four posts were the quadrants of the world’s compass, their quilted blankets a domain spreading from horizon to horizon.
Prayer was the atmosphere of their kingdom. Their children were conceived in prayer and born in prayer. Carol had died praying, held in his arms and enfolded in his prayers. Birth and death had been suffused with grace. And because that was true, Alex now reminded himself, even the darkness was enfolded, even the loss and the abandonment, and the falling through the ice of the solid world into the desolation beneath (pgs. 291, 292). --Michael D. O'Brien, The Father's Tale

Oh, I hope so. My evening is going to be a little dull otherwise.
The feminists will probably show up later in the wee hours of the morning after they come home from their date while hubby’s was out of town...lol
Or, from MY perspective (nearly wiped out financially by my drug-addled ex):
“Why buy the pig when all you want is a little sausage?”
*SMIRK* :)
“she has “accidentally stumbled upon a subculture” of men who say “in no uncertain terms, that they’re never getting married”
Subculture? It is THE CULTURE.
Men risk far too much (as you describe); if you ever want to talk a guy out of marriage, simply ask a man how he’ll feel ten years down the road when his kids are sleeping in the house he used to live in, with some strange guy sleeping in the bed he used to sleep in.
I’m married more than fifteen years, but she’s a foreigner from a traditional background.
I cannot understand multiple marriages. Heck, your just asking for trouble and lose another house. Happy New year to you chick.....GG
They should change the name of this website to “Free Republic of Women-Haters, Except for Our Much Younger Second Filipino Wives.”
You have touched on the crux of the problem - premarital sex. This is yet another testimony to the collapse of western culture.
“The decks are all stacked against men”
Legalized affirmative action makes this more than just an opinion; it is government policy.
“Not enough people seem willing to admit that there is plenty of blame to go around on ALL sides, and that we should try to come together.”
When women oppose against affirmative action, that MIGHT happen; don’t hold your breath.
“I think people would rather be victims.”
The men aren’t complaining; they sometimes have to defend their bachelorhood against social/family pressures, but I assure you they are quite content to let the culture that marginalized them go the way of the dodo. I’m not surprised at the number of American men I know who are much more open to marrying foreign women; the American women can boil & seethe at the new crop of mestizos running around.
whoever said it, its worth a laugh....GG
“Instead of getting married again, I’m going to find a woman I don’t like and give her a house.”
I saw that on a T-shirt at a flea market: “Why get married? Find a nasty b!tch and buy her a house.”
“Count the men, then count the white men.”
Then count the straight men and whatcha got ?
“I wonder how women would feel about investing their hearts and identity in becoming wives and mothers under the conditions that American men face today, to casually have her children and home taken from her at his whim, with the support of the state, while she has to pay for the privilege.”
Well said.
“Why buy the pig when all you want is a little sausage?”
That’s great!
