“Don’t lump all american women in together. I’ve been married 30 years, have 5 kids (with the same man) and have been a stay at home mom the entire time and still am. My husband and I live a very traditional lifestyle.”

...but you are a woman from 30 years ago, before the REAL pollution set in. You are probably not unlike today’s foreign-born women, when it comes to values.

Already did! Too late! LOL!

As women have stood up to become men for the past 100 or so years the men have stood down.

“But no matter how much they screech and fling their feces at us, an incontrovertible fact remains. The rest of the world views American husbands as almost angels. And the rest of the world views American woman as the worst wives.”

That is so true. But no, I haven’t had to deal with the venom that others may deal with. I think most women that we encounter simply wish they somehow could have the same value system instilled in them as my wife has...but they know it’s too late for that.

“And I suspect that your wife, like mine, would be ASHAMED if your marriage broke up - because a strong marriage is a sign of success in her culture, whereas a strong lawyer is a sign of success in ours.”

Well put, and spot on. Neither of our families has divorces (though maybe they should have one or two), and while we come from different ethnic backgrounds our shared faith suffices to keep us on the same page.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with women being sluts and whores as long as women behave in that manner toward their husbands!

Been with the same woman for 15 years; talk to the hand...: )
We’re talking about the reasons young men aren’t marrying not women.

That’s the difference...nothing is perfect. But the kids win out. People from those cultures understand that kids are MUCH, MUCH, BETTER OFF with having two parents that may not get along, but still live in the same home - than having parents that are at legal war with each other.

It really seems that the kids don’t even exist anymore in American society...other than being used for child support.

But count up the number of therapists they see every week, and you’ll REALLY understand their situation.

Count the prescription bottles.

“That’s adorable, CONGRATULATIONS!!! Too bad American women/girls seethe at the picture, and think of it as slavery.”

Thank you. Unfortunately, I think we’ve turned a corner culturally where now the American women would be happy to be “enslaved” in marriage/motherhood (but under current legal and economic conditions); hence the rage. They can’t get courts to force the men to “get right”, and men are content to let the whole thing die (literally).

“Count the prescription bottles.”

Tell me about it. I’ve LITERALLY seen one of them wheeled out on a stretcher, when she figured out that she wasn’t going to find a guy to live her life with. She’s 35 and she doesn’t have a prayer against THE NIGHTMARE that feminism has created...no guy will get near her - even though she’s gorgeous.

Valid point. The courts can clean out a generation or two of men...but they still CANNOT force the next generation of men to want to have anything at all to do with American Women.

There is a always a backlash, and today’s women are seeing that first-hand.

“People from those cultures understand that kids are MUCH, MUCH, BETTER OFF with having two parents that may not get along, but still live in the same home - than having parents that are at legal war with each other.”

Absolutely; having a father in the home is the prime indicator of whether or not someone will be incarcerated. Have you heard these “Total Transformation” commercials on the radio? Apparently they’ve outsourced parenting to a set up tapes/disks; the commercials are pathetic (between a mother and son): “I’m your mother! I won’t have you calling me ugly names! Blah blah blah”. Basically it is tailor-made for a single mother with a (rightfully) angry son; good luck with that!

“It really seems that the kids don’t even exist anymore in American society...other than being used for child support.”

Absolutely, but more importantly, you need at least one child to qualify for a lot of the freebies urban America has availed itself of for generations. I can’t tell you how many younger women I know who have the token bastard just to get into the “dependent” class; it turns out to be the only child they have, and they take full advantage of it (housing subsidies, welfare, food stamps, tuition breaks, you name it).

“There is a always a backlash, and today’s women are seeing that first-hand.”

Exactly. Tax time always heats it up with the femi-nazis at my job; they realize that their high income taxes (no deductions for children, no mortgage interest/property tax deductions because they don’t need a whole house for just themselves and the cat/dog of their choice) are subsidizing the younger, darker America they see replacing the one in which they grew up.

My sons are all still young, but as they hit that age I’ll make very sure they all know that their future depends a lot on the procreation choices they make (pre-marriage stuff); ideally they’d wait, but realistically they just have to be EXTREMELY careful. I don’t know how my parents did it, but they let us know to be careful without mentioning a single contraceptive or the sexual act. I guess they assumed we’d be good (or smart) and as far as my siblings and I are concerned, they were right; they didn’t mind discussing what other people were doing in general (with disastrous results), and that is probably how they got the point across.

Please don’t give up on American girls. My sweet girls need someone to marry one day. I am raising them to keep themselves pure and to honor the vows they take on their wedding night. They know I love their daddy and that divorce is not part of our vocabulary. They have also been carefully guarded against American dating culture and Hollywood ‘morals’. Blessings!~
