The War on Men

Post Reply New Topic

The battle of the sexes is alive and well. According to Pew Research Center, the share of women ages eighteen to thirty-four that say having a successful marriage is one of the most important things in their lives rose nine percentage points since 1997 – from 28 percent to 37 percent. For men, the opposite occurred. The share voicing this opinion dropped, from 35 percent to 29 percent.

Believe it or not, modern women want to get married. Trouble is, men don’t.

The so-called dearth of good men (read: marriageable men) has been a hot subject in the media as of late. Much of the coverage has been in response to the fact that for the first time in history, women have become the majority of the U.S. workforce. They’re also getting most of the college degrees. The problem? This new phenomenon has changed the dance between men and women.

As the author of three books on the American family and its intersection with pop culture, I’ve spent thirteen years examining social agendas as they pertain to sex, parenting, and gender roles. During this time, I’ve spoken with hundreds, if not thousands, of men and women. And in doing so, I’ve accidentally stumbled upon a subculture of men who’ve told me, in no uncertain terms, that they’re never getting married. When I ask them why, the answer is always the same.

Women aren’t women anymore.

To say gender relations have changed dramatically is an understatement. Ever since the sexual revolution, there has been a profound overhaul in the way men and women interact. Men haven’t changed much – they had no revolution that demanded it – but women have changed dramatically.

In a nutshell, women are angry. They’re also defensive, though often unknowingly. That’s because they’ve been raised to think of men as the enemy. Armed with this new attitude, women pushed men off their pedestal (women had their own pedestal, but feminists convinced them otherwise) and climbed up to take what they were taught to believe was rightfully theirs.

"Women aren't women any more..."

Call the effing waaaambulance; masculine egos are haemorrhaging pride...

1. Deep down, do you feel superior to men?

2. Are you nicer to your girlfriends than you are to your husband or boyfriend? (Another way to answer: Is your behavior and demeanor the same with your guy as it is when you’re with your girlfriends?)

3. Do you forgive and forget easily?

4. Do you secretly believe you deserve to be married to Brad Pitt? And that if you were, your life would be better?

5. As a general rule, do you pursue men (as opposed to letting men pursue you)?

6. Do you have sex very quickly when you’re in a relationship? Or when you’re not in a relationship at all?

7. Are you a product of divorce?

8. Do you need to be right all the time?

9. Be honest: Are you looking for tall, dark, and handsome as opposed to smart, stable, and kind? Or perhaps all of the above?

10. Are you open to the idea of living with a man?

If you answered “Yes” to at least five of the above, and/or “No” to number 3, don’t walk to purchase your copy of How to Choose a Husband. Run

Here is a quiz you can take, to tell if you need her book How to Choose a Husband:Her market seems to be lonely women.

< How to castrate a Man > This is usually what goes on during marriage its all part of their diabolical plan for world domination!!

^^ Then explain why it is that when men are depicted in television commercials and programs, they are more often depicted as clueless doofusses while the women in the same commercials and programs are depicted as the only people who know how to do anything right.

Explain why it is that when a woman cries "Harassment", every man in the company must endure "Sensitivity Training" while the women don't, yet when a man files an harassment complaint, he must endure sensitivity training while the women don't.
.

Explain why it is that there are more programs to help women get out of homelessness than programs to get men out of homelessness.

In my work-life, when the men got sensitivity training, the women did too. So that says something about your organization.

Where I live the homeless programs are for both genders, so that says something about your community.

But none of the situations you've mentioned reflects the world - or the US - in general.
