Quote: This article [NY Times] makes a dandy primer on why men are increasingly opting out of marriage altogether, especially blue-collar men. That probably wasn't the intent of the article, but it does a splendid job of making the case nonetheless.

Quote: It's striking the degree to which modern feminism and the "self-esteem movement" has led to a form of sociopathic behavior in many women. Self-actualization has become the end-all and be-all of existence, the magnetic pole around which all of life turns. In men this behavior is recognized as a mental illness, but in women it is more often than not encouraged as a kind of empowerment. And it doesn't even lead to greater happiness on the part of women, based on the evidence, but discontent and bitterness.

Men don't write articles like this because we know better. The work/life balance has always been grossly unequal. That's just the way life is. You can't be in two places at once, and you can only divide your mental energies into so many quanta. There are only so many hours in the day. Marriage and family, to most men, is the reward for work, not a distraction from it. Work makes family life possible; family life makes work bearable. That's the Great Compact, the cosmic deal that has kept civilization on a paying basis for the last several thousand years.

The more manosphere stuff I read the more I can't feel negative feelings towards women. I feel sorry for them because they just can't help themselves.
