Women (and society) just can’t make the case that marriage is good for men. When I was young few of my friends had divorced parents; that has spread, and now the male “children of divorce” are shying away from it.

Government interference has made marriage a very risky proposition for men.

Indeed. And add to that marriage has become a financial catastrophe for men. That anyone is surprised that men are "shying away from" marriage is amazing.

I don't know that it's so much surprise as that it's totally out of their frame of reference. It's inconceivable a guy should ask, "What about me?"

Yet this entire social construct depends upon guys not asking that question. And those who have watched the feminist movement for the last 50 years are seemingly blind to the proposition...suppose men, as feminists did, decide the way things are doesn't work for them anymore?

As they increasingly are. They know not where they will go but they know they can't stay here.

Buckle your seatbelts, ladies...you ain't seen nothin' yet.

They aren’t surprised here in NJ; the government is looking at revamping a lot of the laws to try to make it more attractive to men.
