A bit of a rant. I’m sorry, but this really does get on my nerves!

My mom believes that kids from broken families are going to want to make a family they didn’t have. How does that make any sense? She even tries to show me studies about that. I asked her, who wrote those studies. She would respond scientists and other branch of “professionals” I said this in my head. “Scientists can be wrong too, and just because some “scientists” wrote some statistics on a idea or theory doesn’t mean they are immune to cognitive bias.”

She would then dismiss my points saying “I lived longer then you, and experienced things that you haven’t in those years”. (Not in front of her, but my resonce would be something like. You don’t say, well I’m sorry. I can’t accelerate my own time by creating my own reality marble and for your information mom. Right now men in this country are getting f~~~ed left and right, and even you admitted to that injustice that is happening now. Well it already happened way before I came here. On the other hand time Manipulation would be nice to have. On a worse day, I could accerleate those harpies ages back and forth and watch them hit the wall faster then a women can call misogyny on a topic.

She would say that marriage is raw deal for women too, and that men can get jobs then women can’t do because men are built to handle heavy duty work. Well when a women has a issue with marriage despite having a good posion to f~~~ a man over more chances then not she brought that issue upon herself, and as for the job argument. Well women are more trouble then they are worth. My mom would admit that being a problem too, but again she would dismiss as If it’s not a issue.

This is just going to reinforce what I been seeing so far for the last 5 years as to why I won’t even care too marry. Maybe fool around with a hooker just to lose the v-card. I don’t see it being anything remotely worth having when the western socitry and the peace of illusion in Canada too break. I want it to break!

I don’t hate my mom, And she did took care of me way better then most of the moms in Canada. She doesn’t mind my life choice of not getting kids, she told me to do what you want with your life, and be happy with what you want to do. But I will say this, even moms that came from a different time are not immuned to this toxic environment.

I’m sorry for any bad grammar errors.

Actions have consequences and consequences have prices. Cause and effect at work.

Marriage and the lottery are alike in one way: They are a tax on people who don’t understand mathematics.

Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?

Pretty good read.  I liked the part where they said 63% of young people were interested in marriage.  That is actually quite a deceptive statistic.  Assuming most of the 37% not interested in marriage is men…that is actually bad, bad news for women who want marriage.  If 13% of the 63% who want to be married are men, that means overall 26% of men want married.  If only 26% of men are getting married…that means only 26% of women are going to be getting married.

It will be interesting to see how society evolves when 20 years from now, a majority of women in the 30-50 age bracket are unwed post-wall crazy cat ladies.  I’m just wondering who will be more bitter…the 30-50 year old who never had the opportunity to marry, or the 30-50 year old who initiated her own divorce and realized a few years down the road what an idiot she had been.

@beer, “initiated her own divorce and realized a few years down the road what an idiot she had been”

Time after time you see ’em, having p~~~ed in their own well, all surprised that the water now tastes like whatever p~~~ tastes like.

“Say, you look like a good man!”  “Wrongo p~~~ breath.”

I honestly don’t think most women will come to the conclusion that they screwed up.  It will be much easier to come to the conclusion that life isn’t fair and we need more feminism.

Months after my ex and I had separated, and were well on my way to divorce.  My ex broken down and told me she understood now that she had not been a good wife.  She realized that she hadn’t treated me well, and that she could have listened when I told her what was bothering me, and she could have made changes.   But in her mind, she was out of love with me (if she ever loved me at all) and there was no shot at recovery.  I’m sure she felt better after that confession, but it was pretty useless to me.    She has since remarried and I wonder sometimes if she thinks about the mistakes she made with me and actually tries to be different.    Sometimes, when she’s p~~~ed at me, at part of me is hoping that that subconsciously makes her appreciate her current husband a little more….and that would be a good thing.

Anyway, point is, I don’t think women look back and learn lessons the way men do.  I don’t think they like to own their actions, and know what to do with that guilt.  I think it’s too easy to blame society.  It’s too easy to blame uncontrollable emotions, that it’s just ‘love’ and you can’t be blamed when you don’t feel it anymore.  All BS

 

 

Ok. Then do it.

@scubasteve – The only reason I think they will change over time, is because the demographics are going to change over time.  Women of marriage age today…20s-early 30s have their parents generation as an example to look at.  Most of their parents are married, whether it still be a first marriage or a second marriage, but regardless…a majority of them see marriages where women have all the legal advantages and get away with being rotten disrespectful wenches.  They assume they too can have their own manslave whenever they want, because their mothers always had one.

However, marriage age men are smartening up as they see what a raw deal their fathers got.  They got the s~~~ty end of custody battles, footed most of the expenses through child support, lost their houses, their retirement savings, and got disrespected and treated like s~~~.  Men today are saying f~~~ no to marriage.

But the thing is…how will women react 30 years from now…when your average woman around 50ish is single with no manslave, the ones that popped a kid out are no longer on the welfare/child support gravy train and getting smashed with financial reality, and men are more happy than the previous generation who got destroyed by being on the wrong side of biased marriage/divorce laws.  They are going to try to figure out wtf the previous generation did wrong so they don’t end up in a similar position.

The thing is, with today’s women, none of them will admit the error of their ways.  For example, rather than admitting 10-15 years on the c~~~ carousel maybe isn’t a great plan for securing a great long term partner, they’ll just complain you shouldn’t judge a woman based on her number of partners.  You should love her beat up meatloaf, and be willing to raise another man’s children just to be with her.  I’m sure when they hit the wall, realize they have wasted their youth and beauty, and begin to feel invisible to men, they know deep down inside they f~~~ed up…but they will never ever admit it…like you said, they will always find ways to push the blame off elsewhere…men are to blame, peer pressure, societies double standards, etc.

Where I think the change will come is when a younger generation of women is growing up looking at a bitter, broke generation of single crazy cat women, rather than a generation of women cracking the whip on a manslave.  I think they’ll realize that women of the past had it better, and society will change, especially if a male birth control pill, or a reversible/temporary operation/implant birth control for men becomes available in the near future.  I don’t think gender roles will ever shift back to what they were 50-100 years ago, but I do think women will eventually smarten up about wasting their primes on the c~~~ carousel and diminishing their chance for a quality long term partner.  I don’t think we’ll go back to the whole virgin til marriage mind set ever, but I think pussy with no commitment, and the hookup culture is more prevalent today than it will be with future generations.  I think there are going to be a lot of unwed mothers who realized at 34 Mr. Right wasn’t going to be begging them to marry who will encourage their daughters to marry younger, just like their “oppressed” mothers who married younger encouraged them to marry older so they could live(slut it up) a bit first.  Now that we have seen the outcomes of back to back generations trying different approaches to marriage and children, its obvious which one was more advantageous to women.  Also, I do think they will be willing to give up the special treatment and privilege they currently get…you know, actually moving towards gender equality…when they eventually realize they have a choice of a fair marriage, or no marriage.
