The War on Men

The battle of the sexes is alive and well. According to Pew Research Center, the share of women ages eighteen to thirty-four that say having a successful marriage is one of the most important things in their lives rose nine percentage points since 1997 – from 28 percent to 37 percent. For men, the opposite occurred. The share voicing this opinion dropped, from 35 percent to 29 percent.

Comments:
Maybe the problem is feminism. My vote is on government handouts.

These days when a man gets married he can only lose. The courts are against him, his word is worthless, and he ends up losing half of all he owns and then pays alimony (oh wait they call it ´child support´ now, but it´s really still alimony) for the rest of his life.
Women really only look at marriage as a way to get things, they really don´t care much about the men they marry in most cases.

The fertility rate for American white girls is getting down close to 1.0 (replacement is 2.1). And for these girls (women?) BMWs, shopping, lunching and sweat-soaked sports bras are way more important than babies, a family, and a devoted man.

It´s the domestic relations courts with their grossly unfair divorce decrees that have made men unwilling to get married.

None of the above.

It´s the gamer/porn culture. I´m quite serious.

You see, to dislike a woman/girl for being a feminist, you´d have to interact fairly deeply with a few first. Never happened in many cases. Games. Porn. Internet. Junk Food.

The sad thing is, many women my age (50 plus) look around at the attitudes of many young women and we don´t blame the men one bit.

Back in 2003 a columnist named voxday wrote a column titled,"Spiting Their Pretty Faces" which is an excellent explanation of this matter. I believe he did a much better job then, than Suzanne did today.
Occasionally I´ve wondered if voxpopoli is his username on Lucianne.

Reading this reminds me what a bubble I live in. Our large family goes to a nice "old school" evangelical church. Men are dedicated to their wives and the wives defer to their husband´s headship. Everybody seems pretty happy.

I think itbis a combination of what everyone here said. Yes, feminism is a big problem. I even see my old best friend (who is my age, 50), who still repeats the same silly things like women are still second class citizens and we are paid less and ...all the same stuff we heard growing up in the 70´s. I have to admit, I went through my phase of "hating" men for a while. Part of the reason was all the guys I evee met just wanted one thing and I wasn´t going to give it like that. The sexual revolution destroyed romance and courting. It seemed that every guy wanted to jump in the sack on the first date anymore. No respect. That´s from looser morals in society and the hollywood effect. That, with more porno and now we have video games and the slacker mentality to make it all worse. Govt & media have manipulated people into thinking they don´t need to be responsible too. Btw, child support is no longer just a man´s burden. My good friend was forced to pay child support to her deadbeat husband.

Those are pretty low percentages for both genders.

Here´s the link to Vox Day´s column.

He´s a fairly interesting character in his own right. Libertarian, sci-fi author, runs a couple of blogs, expat living in Italy.

I´ve found him refreshing, and enjoy his blogs. He runs one called Alpha Game that explains male/female interactions in detail. Take a look at his writings and decide for yourself.

If you are a modern man, why bother to commit when you can get the benefits for free, without the risk of being taken to the cleaners. Any men who gets financially involved with a woman for any reason may as well bid his future financial freedom and security good bye. It starts at a minimum of 50% and there is no top limit, all sanctioned by the legal system of course..

During the election gauntlet, how many times in debates, speeches, polit. ads et al did you hear/see Men´s issues addressed or even mentioned?...I thought so!

Dr. Laura used to say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?"
As for gamer/porn, throw in marijuana. I know some gamer/porn/marijuana guys and they make me sick. They live worthless lives and it´s good that they´re not able to destroy a woman´s life.

Mrs. Southron:

Didn´t they refer to this as the "Bimbo Factor" when it came to these females as voters in the last election?

My husband looks the other way whenever he sees some of these admittedly gorgeous babes coming his way. He stated that he "never has seen a generation of young women so completely dedicated to their looks: implants, fake tans, sexy outfits, expensive nails...and they don´t any of them seem to have any real intelligence, morals or common sense." - I agree.

What will their futures be like as they age? And what about their male counterparts that can only talk sports and TV, etc.?

I can just see a future with hordes of aging airheads in their ´golden years´ sitting in the nursing homes with nothing to reminisce about but old TV shows, shopping sprees or even guys they "hooked up" with. Mindless aging robots with sagging implants.

I´m going to start with three data points. One: Some of the Chinese military hackers who were implicated in a broad set of attacks against the U.S. government and corporations were identified because they accessed Facebook from the same network infrastructure they used to carry out their attacks. Two: Hector Monsegur, one of the leaders of the LulzSac hacker movement, was identified and arrested last year by the FBI.

Alcohol use accounted for roughly 3.5 percent of all cancer deaths in the United States in 2009, a new study finds. This amounts to nearly 20,000 Americans who lost their lives to cancer that year as a result of drinking.[snip]"Alcohol is a known cancer-causing agent in humans, but it has been severely overlooked as a preventable cause of cancer deaths," said study co-author Timothy Naimi, a physician and alcohol researcher at Boston University Medical Center. "People need to know the impact of alcohol on cancer deaths because it´s another reason why they should not drink excessively."

An LSU faculty member is suing the university, alleging that she was fired after reporting what she called the School of Art’s theft of more than $75,000 from students. [Snip] The lawsuit, filed in the 19th Judicial District Court, also says School of Art administrators routinely misused other funds, spending the money on iPads, Apple computers, scanners and other accessories for faculty members rather than for classroom materials.

BUDAPEST, HUNGARY – Thousands attended an anti-Nazi rally Sunday in Hungary organized by Jewish and civic groups to protest a far-right lawmaker´s call to screen Jews for national security risks. The rally was unusual because politicians from both the government and opposition parties shared a stage outside parliament. Marton Gyongyosi of the far-right Jobbik party said Monday in the legislature it was time "to assess ... how many people of Jewish origin there are here, and especially in the Hungarian parliament and the Hungarian government, who represent a certain national security risk."

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

"Can you see in your mind´s eye a way that this might not have been political, that this was a misguided stupid way to sort, but that they didn´t intend it to be some kind of political attempt to harass the Tea Party?"

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

WASHINGTON – White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer said Sunday Republicans owe Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, an apology for alleging she played a part in formulating the White House’s response to the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, last year that killed four Americans. Pfeiffer said on ABC’s “This Week” that the release of more than 100 pages of Benghazi emails and notes show “beyond a shadow of the doubt” that accusations she tried to change the narrative of what happened in the attacks was false. "And, frankly, I think that many of the Republicans
