"All I had to do was have a kid. I never have to worry about a man or a job for the rest of my life. The more kids I have, the more money I get on my EBT card. I don't even have to raise those kids myself. The state does it for me.
Now, excuse me. I have to go get my nails done. I have a date tonight."
“It’s falling apart because it’s very legally disadvantageous to men. The deck is so heavily stacked in favor of women that it’s tantamount to involuntary indentured servitude for a term triple or more in comparison to the term of indenture for actual indentured servants historically.”
We are already indentured servants on our jobs. They have taken Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve, and Good Friday away as holidays to make us work. Wages and benefits stink, and it’s hard to find a job at all. Who would want to face the crapshoot marriage has become in their private lives and add to our misery? And I’ve been married almost 36 years.
The government wrecked marriage and the courts and society killed it off.
Happily divorced for 10 years. Why own when you can lease skilled workers for less money?
Men and women no longer need each other to survive. Back when civilization was more agricultural women needed men to plow and plant the fields, hunt the game, build the cabin, etc.
Men needed women to help harvest the crop, can the vegetables for the winter, bear and raise the future farmhands (the children), cook his meals, etc.
Now we can get everything we need at Wal-Mart and McDonalds.
No one has to buy the cow today. There's free milk everywhere. Because of the morning after pill, a man can ride 'em hard, put them away wet, and move on to the next critter.
Easy women are a dime a dozen. They're disposable. Use 'em, and then throw 'em away!
I can’t recall a more depressing thread in all my years with FR.
No argument with any of the opinions expressed in these posts; they’ve all been insightful and accurate.
The calamity that has befallen our culture is beyond reckoning.
“No fault divorce is the number one destroyer of marriages.”
You mean, automatic “his-fault” divorce.
...a more depressing thread...”
ALL of the threads could be tied into this cloth, sorry to say...
This thread has attracted great minds, as well.
So, let’s go stoic with Marcus Aurelius and get real.
"With the transfer of the means of production into common ownership, the single family ceases to be the economic unit of society....The care and education of the children becomes a public affair; society looks after all children alike, whither they are legitimate or not."
Frederick Engels
Libtard government policies that cause the collapse of marriage plus homo marriage are causing Engels' prediction to be coming true, which is their goal anyway. When the government raises all children equally, that is the way to achieve their goal of equality of opportunity.

I saw a commercial for Sprint a while ago where this hot girl gets on a lounger next to a guy and says something like she loves her I-Pad on Sprint and he says "yeah so does my husband". They must have gotten many e-mails like mine because I never saw the commercial again.
Yep. And I'll add Religions have ignored sin.
“...the government wrecked marriage and the courts and society killed it off...”
Amen. The whole gay marriage issue is a canard. Marriage has NOTHING to do with government - so let them wreck it. Let it go.
Commitment not every can do it.Only the strong can.
The reason that Gay marriage has gotten so much traction is that traditional marriage has become de-linked from child-rearing already. IOW’s society no longer accepts the basic assumption of the family unit based on a married couple. So why not Gay marriage? (or any other alternate interpretations of the institution?)
I think the hip-gay on the hit TV sitcom is more a symptom of family decline than an underlying cause. But going forward you might be more right. Everything is a feed-back loop.
Scary and true. Ok, unless you have daughters and you really care that they find someone who can commit.
“...why not gay marriage..”
We are done. Christianity attempted to raise women to equal status. Even if a person is not Christian, that capital rode for many centuries for the benefit of many, even if they had not clue as to why.
