Men and women don't get along these days. I think these are the worst times in this respect. Do you think it will be better or worse?

Women have many privileges and are self-sufficient. Men's problems are ignored especially white men. I have the impression that women and men need each other less and less. Nowadays there are more divorces than love. I have the impression that women have very high expectations for men, higher than 30 years ago, and men have lower expectations for themselves than 30 years ago.

Women have more rights now. Not privileges. Mens problems are not the focus because men still maintain the majority if positions of power. Mens issues tend to be tied into the effects of patriarchy. Dismantle that, and those problems are solved. I would argue its good we dont need each other anymore. Far better to be with someone because you WANT to, not out of necessity or obligation. Lastly, its good divorce rates are up. That means less people are staying in unhappy marriages. Before divirce was legal, murder rates were much higher. So was suicide. As for expectations if men, yeah. We picked the bar up off the floor and now men are expected to show up with more than just a paycheck. You need to be emotionally present in the relationship and share the responsibilities at home.

Yeah it's really weird that women don't want to pick up relationship help books to find out win-win situations for both parties involved in a relationship
