Why Marriage No Longer Makes Sense

[Anonymous 6]

Traditional marriage balances different privileges and obligations for men and women. Modern woman wants all the benefits of “equality” without any of the responsibilities.

Traditional Western culture balanced special privileges for women with special obligations, and the same for men.

Equality states that no one get special privileges, and that responsibilities and rights should be equally shared.

Either system is balanced and fair. The problem with modern Western culture is that many women want only the positives from both systems:

They want special privileges from the traditional system (men paying, being “gentlemen” by using special deferential manners and language to women, being the main breadwinner, etc) but not the old-fashioned obligations (being modest and ladylike, being a housewife, etc).

They want the positives of equality (rights, equal access to work and education, etc) without the responsibilities (paying your own way financially a full 50% for life, taking risks with no safety net, and taking your lumps without complaint like men do…not expecting to be protected or sheltered from harsh reality, etc).

You can’t take only the good from both systems…you have to take the bad with the good in any balance you strike. When women try to have their cake and eat it in this way, the bad doesn’t disappear…it gets paid by men, and this is why the current culture is one of exploitation by selfish hypocritical women…and it’s why men are tired of the inequity.

If American women chose one system or the other and took their full share of the bad with the good there would be no problem. But current American culture discourages women being looked at critically, instead projecting all blame unjustly onto men; and so the inequity is rationalized away.

This is why other cultures which haven’t got this f~~~ed up as far as gender relations go, start to look attractive. The women there expect to give as well as get.

I would encourage you to follow the word “Marriage” with the word “Contract.” Especially in dealing with females, and feminized men. It’s a way of throwing their s~~~ back in their faces, and usually shuts them up quickly.

When women lead, destruction is the destination. -- Me.

As Old BIll’s recent post on marriage laws said. If I marry in my state my IRA (200K) earned before the marriage is half hers. I busted my hump for that money long before I met her and she gets half????

NO. NO. NO.

Love is just alimony waiting to happen. Visit mgtow.com.

the brainwashing of everyone in our culture would have it continue.

marriage is a trap for men.

The last year marriage made sense was the last year JFK was in office.

Ask any dude being divorced raped how much sense marriage makes?

I don’t think marriage ever made sense. When women came with dowries there was a social recognition that marriage was a handicap and needed to be offset.

Excellent point! No dowry means no marriage, unless you are the heroine of a Jane Austen novel. It’s no wonder Austen is the most popular “romance” novelist of all time: She replaced practicality with “love.”

Here is my view of love as expressed by Rick and Morty, “love is a chemical reaction causing animals to breed. After that, it slowly fades . . . ” (Or words to that effect.)

Often you will hear, “Well, you can’t really blame them for ….”

“No. I Can. And as a matter of fact, I will.”

Nope, I don’t believe traditional marriage is balance and fair to the men.

The men have a soul crushing job 7 to 5 that you must meet a certain standard or be penalized / fired. Deal with people you don’t like every weekday. Being boss around.

The women has a job that they can decide how late they want to be, how much effort they want to put in, be with their children instead of people they don’t like.

I believe all of us here do our own housework since we go our own way. Tell me how hard is housework?

Marriage is never fair to the man, and thanks to feminism, more and more of us start thinking for ourselves because they poke us too hard. That is one thing we can thank feminism for.

There is no magic in MGTOW, just recognition of the truth and logical decision how to avoid dangers. The red pill is but the truth, it is no magical potion. Do not think in this modern world men have no longer have natural enemies, men are prey to women and government.
