You really never post anything substantive, do you? I didn't realize you're just a troll until recently.

The % decrease for women are women outing themselves as the ones you don’t want to sperm inside of.

It’s pretty simple.

I feel bad for your husband. He probably has no power at home. Relegated to a corner.

You mean after feminism convinced them to go to work? Because before that happened, this was not true:

Only up until the divorce. Then women cash the institutionally enforced lottery ticket.

quote:

LOL. I thought you were discussing this seriously. Both parties get sex and men are no more likely to become homely after marriage than women. And if men want sex more often than women, women want to talk a truckload more than men. It isn't as though women get no needs met. As for caretaker, yeah, women do more household chores. It's kind of amazing to me that you're telling me that womens' solution to that is to not get married (in which case she now does 100% of the chores) instead of just splitting up the chores more equitably.

Let it play out. The government can't fix men. Or women (depending on who you ask).


So that means I can expect you to stop posting that the government should pay for childcare for single women?

Women are taking feminism seriously. Which is tantamount to one half of the entire species passive aggressively walking over the cliff out of spite.

There aren't a lot who drop out of med school or even residency. However, there are a ton who subsequently seek scaled-back work situations and/or drop out altogether early in their careers.

Years ago I saw one of those daytime talk shows featuring a couple of 'Wives of Gynechologists. The big question was 'Does it bother you that your husband looks at naked women for a living?'
Both women had the immediate response: 'No. We're worried about nurses who want to marry a doctor.'

If you're breaking it down to tasks, men can rent "a pretty caretaker who will have sex with them" for a whole lot less than the potential risk of a bad marriage.

Marriage is (or should be) a partnership, with each partner contributing as best they can to attain an end goal.

Breaking it down to tasks as you seem want to do though, in marriage, women get another human to take care of them, keep them and their children protected, and often do the lion's share of work outside the home, therein freeing time and/or resources for childrearing.

That doesn't change the fact that marriage benefits men more than women.

Holistically, men benefit from marriage more than women. How do the vast majority of married men "take care of" their wives? Financially? That's not true. Most wives work outside the home and then have to take care of their homes after work.

Even "breadwinner" wives do more housework than husbands

That's because women judge one-another based on their emotional labor. Thus, they purposely make things more difficult for themselves and create more work to do in order to get positive attention from other women. Men tend to be the opposite. They want to put forward the least effort possible while having the highest quality of life. Women don't want low effort even if it's clean, even if it works, even if it looks good, they only feel validated if they are putting in a noticeably massive amount of effort.

That's not to say that women just do busy work, that making a home isn't a ton of work no matter what, and that men are lazy, efficient, or superior, they're just wired differently. Often, women make more work for themselves to do than men do because our priorities are simply different yet complimentary. It's one of the reasons why men and women are better as a unit than they are individually.

It’s a common misconception that women only started working outside the home because of modern social movements. In reality, women have worked in many roles for centuries, and the growth of female employment was driven by major economic and social shifts long before recent cultural debates around feminism.

The Industrial Revolution in the 18th and 19th centuries fundamentally altered economies and family life. Before industrialization, most people lived on farms where men, women, and children all contributed to household production. As factories emerged, paid wage work grew outside the home, and women became a key part of that workforce. Women were actively recruited to work for low wages, and families needed the income.

by 1910 about one in four women over age 14 in the United States was earning wages. LINK

As world wars broke out, governments and industries faced worker shortages and actively recruited women to fill roles that had been male-dominated, from manufacturing and transportation to agriculture and clerical work. This had nothing to do with feminism and everything to do with necessity and supporting war efforts.

Marriage isn't divorce. Marriage benefits men far more than women.

quote:

LOL. I thought you were discussing this seriously. Both parties get sex and men are no more likely to become homely after marriage than women.

I argue that most women age more gracefully than men. We're pretty and we smell good.

The solution is men contributing more at home. At some point, it appears women get tired of begging and waiting for this to happen. It's more than housework - it's managing the house. Keeping up with appointments, house repairs, schedules. Buying birthday gifts, planning birthday parties. Making sure Christmas gifts get bought and wrapped. It's not simply folding clothes.

I posted one comment that was an obvious joke about parents with kids in daycare wanting free daycare. People just look for reasons to get pissed off here.

quote:

Women are taking feminism seriously.


Women are doing cost/benefit analyses of marriage and are choosing what makes more sense for their lives, which often doesn't include marriage to a man.

quote:

Which is tantamount to one half of the entire species passive aggressively walking over the cliff out of spite.



That framing only works if you pretend history started in 1968. For most of history, marriage was an economic necessity for women. When women gained the ability to support themselves, they realized they didn't necessarily need husbands to survive. Many men haven’t adapted to that reality. Men aren't willing to compete as partners rather than as the default beneficiaries of women’s economic dependence.

Blaming feminism is just a lazy way to avoid asking a harder question:
If women have options now, what are men offering that makes marriage worth it for women?

The answer appears to be: not much.

A lot of them probably identify as lesbian.
