you lost me at the porn part. How about "teach women they need to be physically available for their husbands if they want them to work hard and keep it in their pants", then maybe he'll turn the porn off.
@sixtyeightplusone Talk about missing the point! First, you REALLY should have continued reading past LINE ONE! I mean that entire thesis is about lifting men up, stopping the portrayal of men as incompetent, stupid, or unable to take care of their own children. For media and Hollywood to stop telling girls they don’t need a man to help them raise a family. To quite literally “stop shitting on men“. Yet after reading that, your take away was “why don’t you fuck your husband more“? Do you REALLY think that a woman who believes that men should be lifted up, valued, and honored… hell even praised for the massively important role they play, both in the home, and society at large would be the kind of person who wouldn’t have that same attitude in the bedroom? Moron! Look, you just keep right on sitting in front of the screen jerking off until you get carpal tunnel syndrome for all I care! You live your life the way you want, I will live my life the way I want. America… Freedom of choice isn’t it a beautiful thing!
@CrazyGirl2 that’s pretty much spot on.
The entire message relating to it is very negative and it’s almost set to fail.
@ChrisMaster69 Thank you so much! It breaks my heart to see commercial after commercial, movie after movie TV show after TV show portraying dads who are incapable of taking care of their own children at all, let alone for even one day! Watching sitcoms where single moms are heralded as heroes, yet with married couples, the dad is always an idiotic buffoon who couldn’t make a grilled cheese for his kids without burning it, or a load of laundry without flooding the house! My mom and dad both work… A lot! Yet they always seemed to work it so one of them would be there for us! My dad is my hero! He not only taught me how to cook, he taught me how to build an engine! They worked together as a team to raise us, the strengths of one making up for the weaknesses of the other, the yin of one to the other’s yang! They’ve been married 25 years, and yet they still act like newlyweds! Not once did either of them ever set us down to give us lessons on how to be a good husband or a good wife… Their entire marriage was a master class on how to get it right! There is no doubt, that the single best thing any parents can do to help ensure their kids future success, is to stay married!
CrazyGirl2,
I really liked your answer. It is mature and level-headed. Maybe you are not so crazy. Men are really confounded about what their place is in women's lives or even if they have one. Despite my age, I am really active and very sharp mentally. Yet I feel completely irrelevant to women. In fact, I feel invisible. I have recently become single again (not my choice) and I cannot even imagine how I might be in another relationship.
Best wishes,

I never really looked at it from your perspective like you said it but I definitely do agree with you that women have been inserting more power in their marriages. Women are becoming less and less tolerant of their husbands whether it's because of cheating, abuse, money issues or because they don't want commitment for whatever reason women are inserting more control over their marriages. Why do you think that is tho?
@Kajiac
I think that would require an entire essay to explain. There are a large number of reasons for it. But the basic idea that should be understood is that in order for most marriages to be viewed with the importance which they used to be all kinds of social pressures need to be in play.
I guess I didn’t answer the question which is what would need to happen for people to revive the sanctity of marriage. It will not be possible without some kind of major collapse or war, which will eventually come.
In these times you tend to see a religious revival, people become more religious when under stress. You see a return of patriarchy as well, as offensive as this will be to feminists, simply because there’s a lot of violence and instability, and men are the ones who provide and protect in these times. Feminism only comes in the good times.
I get what you're saying but women don't feel like they need men anymore in fact it's looking like they feel equal or even greater than the men. I live in Houston (major city) and I know a ton a lesbians who would no way get with in man even I'd a war came. Women are not afraid to not comply in this day and age. It seems they've become/are becoming more stubborn than even men are known to be at this point
@Kajiac
That's true. In today's society they don't need men to survive. They can work just like men, and there are all kinds of safety nets in place for women which there aren't for men, which is why 90% of the homeless are men.
If war/collapse came, I think you'd be surprised at how many of those women would change their tune. The ones who didn't would likely be in trouble.
What many people don't realise is that none of this is actually new. Feminism isn't new. Civilisations go through cycles, rise and fall. In the hard times they're usually patriarchal, and they rise in power under patriarchy. Then they reach a point of success where they decide that they no longer need patriarchy, they think that it's "out-dated" and they become feminist. Gradually the culture degenerates and weakens, although this might take a 100-200 years, then they either collapse as a result of internal anarchic revolution or they get invaded by a more patriarchal culture.
A social anthropologist named J. D. Unwin wrote a book about this titled "Sex And Culture", where he studied the rise and fall of hundreds of past civilisations, and that was the exact pattern he noticed in every single one.
Patriarchy became too abusive and and the rise of feminism punished that. Women are too naturally wild to be kept as pets. My grandmother was for too many years. Once my grandfather died, her trauma from his "leadership" is abundantly clear to me.
I would also add that too many people are allowing their attention to be hacked, their minds fragmented and distracted, and they are not paying enough attention to the person literally right in front of them.
The last thing people touch before going to sleep, and the first thing they touch in the morning is their phone instead of their partner. They need to detox from the distractions.

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now!Well said! And right, people keep acting like they know so much about marriage and relationships yet never been married or had a long committed relationship🤷🏼♀️ like the anon on here who said married prior don't have sex😂 Asked if he ever BEEN married, and of course no reply. 😂
I was a virgin before marriage. And I can guarantee you that I mad ethe right choice. To me marriage has always been sacred. This is one of the main reason why my marital life is successful. No argument, no name calling. Pure love.
Love - like the kind Paul and Linda McCartney had...
I must go back 50 years in time... back to when I was young and happy and full of love myself...

It's hard for to people to live together and learn how to get along. We've had our ups and downs, but we are dedicated to our relationship. And she has been the most proactive. I've learned a lot about myself and become a better person because of her. I'm really lucky.
@Brainsbeforebeauty. Are you kidding? Most husband's knock themselves dead trying to please their wives... until they finally give up.
Well then them men shouldn't get married and make promises they don't want to keep Problem is some men make those promises and break em even not being married So why even get in any relationship with someone at all then🤷🏼♀️
It's called "rationalization". Or, why not get into an open relationship where you don't have to "cheat". I think I've told you my theory about this before. Like the words of the song:
"Take a glass of water, make it against the law, see how good the water tastes, when you can't have any more". The forbidden fruit always tastes better.
My theory is - what if a woman told her soon to be husband " look, I know you're a man and at some point you're going to want to fuck someone else and cheat on me. It's going to happen. So when it does, don't lie to me or be sneaky about it, just don't your dare bring any diseases home. Just do it".
Ok, besides blowing his mind, and whether she actually means it or not, I'd wager that taking the prohibition away would stick in his head and a lot of men would feel like "hey, I can do what I want, I'm empowered", and it would lose its attraction. I'd bet it would cut the male cheating percentage by at least 40%, maybe more, because that's how men's minds work. Now that I CAN have it, I don't want it, or I certainly don't want it as much. There will always be a percentage of guys who cheat, and nothing will change that. But as I said, I'd BET this would.
Don’t get married if you want to have sex with different women. Just know that those women are not going to be loyal to you either.
@MzAsh What about open marriages? What if both people want and agree to that? I believe when folks hear that, their impression is that it's a constant fuck fest by both parties. The open marriages I know of are not like that at al, but rather, the option exists. Obviously if you don't believe in it, it's easy to say "why bother getting married at all", right?
@MzAsh By encourage, you mean you don't believe in them, correct? That's perfectly ok. Personally, I know of a few, as well as a few polyamorous relationships. Interestingly enough, the ones I know of have outlasted the average heterosexual marriage length in the USA by 2 to 1.
Here's some stats. There's a lot to talk about rolled up in them, but just putting the numbers out:
The average heterosexual marriage in the USA over the last 50 years lasts only 8 years. Between 40 and 50% end in divorce during that time, and just 70% last more than 10 years. The leading cause of divorce -- infidelity (28%) followed by money issues (22%).
I cross checked several different legal, credit and statistic gather sources and there were some minor variances, but this is where they fall within the standard deviation.
