The choice isn't which men. The choice is whether or not, as a woman, you want to bother with marriage and/or family.
Nobody shames lifelong bachelors. They are recognized as legitimate members of society. They get left alone to go about their lives. They're not blamed for population decline or the breakdown of the family, or the problems with education, or the appalling state of elder care or even broader health care, or the economy, or recessions, the decline of church attendance, or which jobs are available for men, or or or...
but women sure are, with single mothers and single by choice women being consistently and particularly targeted for blame of everything under the sun. We should start our own "thanks Obama" campaign but insert either single moms or bachelorettes in place of Obama.
I hit a traffic light and was 30 seconds late for work. Thanks single moms. My shoe came untied. Thanks bachelorettes.
I digress.
The point is, I think what we're seeing here is that many women are marriage leads to an unsatisfied, empty, unfulfilled, and lonely life with a lot of regrets. So without some kind of impetus in place to drive women toward marriage, if they have the chance to choose something else, many are going to.
We know what that impetus was in the past and we know what the price of that was. We also know that far too often, women's lives and bodies are seen as acceptable collateral damage in the eyes of men so long as things are generally good for men. As evidenced by all the recent yowlings about supposed lack of compassion and empathy from women for lonely men and their continued blindness about what they're really asking for based on false assumptions and what they're still unwilling to reciprocate.
The question is whether or not men will adapt to an unforced model and become the partners women are craving or support a return to owning women at our expense and detriment so you men can feel like you have value as a man. Or whatever.
With a majority of young men stating that they would happily harm us to get what they wanted if they get away with it, I think we have our answer of what the majority of men are going to choose and pursue.
But you want us to feel bad for you because you said it / did it because you were lonely and so therefore it's justified. Is that it?
