The War on Men
FoxNews.com, by Suzanne Venker

Original Article

Posted By:ruready?, 11/24/2012 9:03:23 PM

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.

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..

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.

If you´re ever interested in the male (economic) perspective on this take a browse around for Captain Capitalism, a blog.

Armed police arrested a 50-year-old man on a street in the town of Welling in southeastern England.

Four of those arrested are still in custody, including the two men who allegedly hacked to death British soldier Lee Rigby.

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.

Many cancer deaths traced to alcohol

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. LSU System President and Baton Rouge Chancellor William Jenkins said Tuesday that he couldn’t comment because of the pending litigation. “I’m in a difficult spot,”

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."

On Tuesday Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) cited "Biblical compassion" as a reason to support the "Gang of Eight" immigration bill. Rubio told CBN that he supports the bill because “[o]ur faith has always been about compassion and it compels you to do something. "Now, we have an obligation to be responsible to our country and not do anything that hurts America but also our faith calls us to compassion. If you took compassion or the principle of compassion out of the Bible, it would be in tatters because it’s all over the place.” Mark Tooley, President of the Institute

The contradictions at the heart of the Obama presidency are finally out in the open. As a result, a man who came into office hellbent on restoring faith in government is on the verge of inspiring a libertarian revival. There have always been (at least) two Barack Obamas. There is the man who claims to be a nonideological problem-solver, keen on working with anybody to fix things. And there is The One: the partisan, left-leaning progressive-redeemer. (Snip) The dilemma for Obama is that neither is panning out because both incarnations rely on trust. The president never had much trust among

Director of National Intelligence James Clapper is really struggling to explain why he told Congress in March (see video above) that the National Security Agency does not intentionally collect any kind of data on millions of Americans. His latest take: It´s an unfair question, he said, like "When are you going to stop beating your wife?" And it seems to depend on the meaning of "collect." "I responded in what I thought was the most truthful, or least untruthful, manner by saying ´no,´" Clapper told NBC News on Sunday.

President Barack Obama said Tuesday that America “owes” it to certain illegal aliens to pass legislation providing a “pathway to citizenship.” “We owe it to America to do better,” Obama said in the East Room of the White House. “We owe it to the Dreamers to do better.” Obama then went on to cite several young people in the audience. Obama and supporters of the immigration reform legislation have called people who were taken into the United States illegally by their parents “dreamers.” Democrats previously supported the DREAM Act that would allow illegals who attend college or

The Obama administration is considering resettling thousands of refugees who left Syria during the country´s ongoing civil war to multiple towns and cities across the United States, the L.A. Times reports. A resettlement plan under discussion in Washington and other capitals is aimed at relieving pressure on Middle Eastern countries straining to support 1.6 million refugees, as well as assisting hard-hit Syrian families. (Snip) U.N. refugee officials, along with diplomats and non-governmental relief groups, are scheduled to meet in Geneva this week to discuss potential resettlement plans. Germany has already agreed to take 5,000 refugees.

Senator Barbara Boxer celebrated the rekindling of talks about gun-control legislation after a shooting at Santa Monica College last Friday. “Every single time something like this happens, I think this does give us wind at our back,” Boxer said on MSNBC over the weekend. On Friday, a gunman opened fire on the school’s campus in the state of California, killing six people, including the gunman. She said she does “worry about” the failure of the legislation after the Sandy Hook shooting last year, but knows that gun-control supporters “never give up.”

WASHINGTON — A State Department whistleblower has accused high-ranking staff of a massive coverup — including keeping a lid on findings that members of then-Secretary Hillary Clinton’s security detail and the Belgian ambassador solicited prostitutes. A chief investigator for the agency’s inspector general wrote a memo outlining eight cases that were derailed by senior officials, including one instance of interference by Clinton’s chief of staff, Cheryl Mills. Any mention of the cases was removed from an IG report about problems within the Bureau of Diplomatic Security (DS), which provides protection and investigates crimes involving any State Department workers overseas.

In a Gallup tracking poll released Tuesday, former-President George W. Bush currently stands with a favorability rating of 49%, compared to 46% who see the 43rd president unfavorably. Meanwhile, another Gallup poll shows President Obama with only a 47% approval rating, with 44% disapproving. If you think about it, this makes perfect sense. After all, Obama fooled everyone when he ran as the anti-Bush in 2008. Everyone thought Obama meant he would be less hawkish than his predecessor. But as we have seen, Obama apparently has no problem killing American citizens

The Obama administration was facing renewed pressure over the secrecy of its surveillance programs, as a group of US senators demanded it reveal how it interprets the laws that underpin them and foreign governments expressed growing concern. A bill, to be introduced in the Senate on Tuesday, would force the US government to disclose the opinions of a secretive surveillance court that determines the scope of the eavesdropping on Americans´ phone records and internet communications. Separately, a leading member of the Senate intelligence committee came close to saying that James Clapper,

Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) said Wednesday that the incidence of pregnancy caused by rape is "very low," prompting criticism from Democrats who said the GOP is waging a "war on women." Franks made the comment during a committee mark-up of his late-term abortion ban bill, which is expected pass the House next week. The Republican lawmaker was arguing against a Democratic amendment allowing rape and incest victims to procure abortions. As written, the bill only exempts women whose lives are in danger. "You know, the incidence of rape resulting in pregnancy are very low," Franks said.
