On one hand, here's an article talking about society is happier when we accept that although women and men have equal value and are equally capable, we may find happiness from different things and different roles -- a pretty convincing counter argument to the advances of modern feminism

On the other hand, this guy talking about the values of not only marriage ...

.. but abstaining from sex until marriage!

My guess is most of RVF is pretty socially/politically liberal with the exception of a widespread backlash to the overreaches of feminism

Was interesting to read some of those articles on marriage that are way off from my viewpoint and from a news source that is so politically different fro me..

I have to admit his wedding does sound like it was better than other guy's' and if I had to bet, he has less than the standard 50% chance of divorce... but I wonder how soon the thrill will be gone in their marriage and then he realizes his penis is going to be in one vag the rest of his life and she probably isn't even any good in the sack

That Steven Crowder dude is an assclown. His articles are so full of hamster that they sound as if they were written for some bizzarro Jezebel. If the dude is so sure and so happy about his decision to stay chaste until after marriage, why does he spend so much time and energy justifying himself?

By the way, he probably does have less than a 50% chance of divorce, but I don't how much it has to do with his not getting laid for the first twenty-odd years of his life. Divorce rates are begatively correlated with things like SES, income and education.

Also, the 50% number is really misleading and generally refers to divorce ratios which are a measure of marriages to divorces in a given year. That can tell you something about the relevant prevalence of divorce in a given population, but not the chances of any one marriage ending in divorce.
