Search Results: my marriage

Im referring to a home or apartment. If you already so that, then what if he lost his job and became broke. Would you support him? Here’s what i am getting at. I particularly don’t think these new young adults have any staying power in their relationships. As soon as a small wave comes i believe its heading for divorce.

im not talking about the old school couples, although i think there are some but i think its more prevalent in the younger generation when it comes to giving up on a marriage so easily. All women are welcome to express how they weigh in on the matter. Tell me what you think overall you dont have to just answer the question. I want to know your opinion on the subject. This is a safe space im not going to crash out on you as the young people say.

Her book (1971) argues that men, not women, are actually the ones oppressed through courtship, marriage, and cultural expectations. She compares marriage to slavery, saying men give up independence to provide for women and children in exchange for affection. It’s been called misogynistic, but also brutally honest and thought-provoking.
What do you think—truth or outdated generalization?

📚 The Manipulated Man by Esther Villar (1971) (title changed to “The Tamed Man” for modern audience) remains one of the most controversial books on gender roles.

Villar argues men are not oppressors but the opposite: women use courtship, marriage, and social expectations to make men providers and protectors. Men give up freedom, risk their lives, and work for women and children in exchange for brief affection.

She compares marriage to slavery — the wedding as the day a man loses independence, entering a Sisyphean struggle enforced by culture and government. She also describes “female rivalry,” where women compete to control men, using sex and pressure to keep them loyal.

Other writers, like Chinweizu (The Anatomy of Female Power) and Warren Farrell (The Myth of Male Power), echo the claim that society is more matriarchal than acknowledged.

Condemned as misogynistic but praised as brutally honest, the book challenges us to rethink who truly holds power in relationships.
