Back In The Day

[Wolfgang RyderSpectator 70]

Sometimes I hear the elderly ones saying that “Marriage in my days wasn’t all this expensive and was a plain simple ceremony.” and that “In my time, marriages would last decades. Nowadays, they don’t last more than 5 years.”

It is said that times were others and it wasn’t that consumerist before. But what about the marriages themselves? Divorce isn’t a 21st century invention you know.

They might say that you would seldom heard about a couple that divorced but it is also said that no matter how annoying your wife was, you had to keep the marriage going because divorce had a different reputation.

I feel hypocrisy when words like “In my days” or ” It didn’t used to be like this” because you can see it was all a masquerade. They practically supported a marriage for the sake of the status quo.

Do you really believe that years ago marraige had a different meaning or you believe it’s the same thing as nowadays?

years ago, marriage was different b/c the laws were not as biased, there was no such thing as no fault divorce, and people did not give up on their relationships easily

MGTOW is not a movement, it is a way of life.

Everthing has changed from “years ago”.
For starters. Most men and women used to know their place, and fulfilled their roles accordingly. The man used to be the bread winner, and was entitled to be the “King of his Caste”, and the wife would take pride in cooking, cleaning, etc., and providing a quality home life for her family. Many women used to even sew, like with a sewing machine. Where have you seen that lately ?
Today, many men are maybe kings of their basement, if they can get it after surrendering the rest of the house to the resident old lady and any children living in the above ground dwelling. A man can loose his home, his children, and income any day the resident old lady desires.
You all know the rest of the story. That’s why I say EVERYTHING has changed, and none of it for the better when it comes to men and children.

Social norms where different. My parents divoverd in the late 1960′. The neiboghhood kids weren’t allowed to play with us because of it. Divorces where looked at with shame.
Single mothers where looked at with shame. It was very different than it is now. But af~~~ingwalt. Women where just starting to revolt as house wifes in my early days. The, you can have it all baby bulls~~~ era.

My paternal family was Farmers. The marriage consisted of a newborn baby every one to two years. A marriage of twenty years meant ten to fifteen children. I know this because of all of my great uncles and aunts.

There were no divorces. The women didn’t have time to do anything but struggle. They were all barefoot and pregnant. The government was a tiny entity in their life. Surviving a winter was the largest entity.

You can think it is hypocrisy. But, just because you think it doesn’t make it so.

One of the big problems with today’s society is the thought that the past was a hypocrisy.

Men of ability are never a hypocrisy.

Single divorced mothers are the hypocrisy. They are the scourge of society.

Things ARE different today than they were “back in the day”. The real question is were they better? For MEN. Back in the day you were stuck with someone that hates you. Today she just files for divorce and takes the cash and prizes.

Neither were good for men. That said, today is better for men because there’s less shaming that goes with not getting married. Best for a man is to not get married. The shaming today is nothing compared to “back in the day”.

Back in the day Big Daddy Government didn’t shower single mothers and divorced women with so much. This is why the status of being a single mother or divorced woman has gone from a thing of shame to a thing of status and celebration.
A single mother has multiple resources to access from. If single mothers truly had to raise children on their own with minimal to no outside help from ANY entity, most would fail. The same goes for divorced women. They too have numerous resources to draw from once they get divorced. Take away the cash and prizes from divorce and having children and you’d see women hiding their evil nature much more carefully than they are now.
Big Daddy Government has made husbands and fathers obsolete.

Feminism isn't about equality with men, it's about leverage over men.

That’s something that I remembered now. Single men had the same reputation as single women. Most of us wouldn’t be seen with good eyes at that time.

They just assumed a single guy was gay. But that was a much bigger problem back then. If you live in a big city today, no one really cares if you’re gay. Funny though, now it’s much more accepted, women use it as a shaming tactic on us.

I was born in 60 about the time of the emerging feminist revolution. My mother became a feminist. Married 7 times, abandoned me so many times I was taken away from her at the age 11. My father remarried an “old school” polish gal from the old country. They stayed married and are now buried together.

social shaming kept many from divorcing.
the husband had “bowling night” once a week..
the wife had “bridge night ” ( cards ), once a week.
.
did the guy really go bowling ?
maybe, maybe not..
the wife definitely played cards with her friends..
.
they stayed together for the kids,
to avoid the stigma of divorce,
and because the vows of “for better or for worse “,
actually meant something.
.
different times…

Because years ago the man was the bread winner, so if the woman wanted to get divorced she was essentially walking away with nothing. These days the wife sits at home and sends the husband out to the plantation while she sits at home on Facebook posting selfies to get validation from orbiters. As soon as she is bored of her husband and decides to monkey branch she knows she can just kick out the husband, keep the marital home and the ex husband has to pay alimony.

Years ago, a single mother would have been shunned by society and lived in poverty, these days they just get shouts of “You go girl” for kicking out the “useless” husband and getting back on the carousel.

For women, everything eventually boils down to Alpha Fucks, Beta Bucks.

Back in the day boys had short hair combed and parted.

Girls had long hair, dresses, and knew which bathroom to go to.

Now we have this:

You have hit a home run on this one mate, spot on that’s the situation.

Women as long as pre wall will be better off financially , as some other red pill fool will come along.

The hypergamy gene will ensure she marries a guy with more, the current laws no blame in divorce women favoured encourages them to divorce.

It’s got way worse since FB , as for 50% divorces well that will increase , the marriage rates will drop but there are so many red pill guys in west.

Your post killed it, stone dead kudos to you.

Great post. It’s never been good for men in modern times. How many of our grandfathers worked themselves to death, unable to divorce the screw they married? No birth control either so kid after kid to take care of.
