A fair number of women don't want relationships with men anymore. WGTOW is a thing too. As is De-Centering men. As is 4Ds.

I look at it like this, men used to value relationships more but they've always struggled with them, in living memory and as part of gender essentialist beliefs. But now, a large portion have tapped into this rising cult of masculinity.

I don't use the word lightly. These ideas around masculinity, "alpha", "redpill", "blackpill", etc are cultish in some pretty standard ways.

So these men who have latches onto this ideology and adipted it are lookibg at relationships as a way to get served now. In some cases, as a means to get some kind of divine retribution against women for having "inherent value" or whatever. They're looking for a fuckmaid to torture and abuse. Simple as that. They are being very clear about it too, on the internet. In dating they're masking.

Knowing that, why would women pursue relationships with men? What would be the point? It's bot like we struggle to build and maintain other types of relationships, ones that are honest and benefit us too. Outside of the many women who are forward about divesting from men in various ways, there's also a large silent section you don't hear from who are quiet quitting men.
