| Women are complicated. Men aren’t. It’s really that simple. Dating complexity hits it’s peak when women are 25-32 because they are in getting married mode and guys are in will she sleep with me mode. Somehow at some point, usually under stress, the guy folds like a cheap suit and hopes to live happily ever after but that usually doesn’t happen. |
I am a man, and I think so as well. Specifically, if I do not have kids, why should I support (indirectly) the women who do via spending on infrastructure that is useless to me? You should take care of all of their needs since you do not need a man. If the new reality is that if you do not need man, live up to it. Do not complain about work/life balance issues (the impact of having kids is completely on you), school funding, healthcare, etc. It would be great if women did not need money from men since there would be little reason for much state and local spending. For next war, let them draft you so you can fight to protect them. Do not respond with BS about "spending on ____ (e.g., schools, healthcare for single mothers, etc.) helps the next generation, which helps us all." I can more than support myself now and after I retire. Do you want to be independent? Be independent, as long you never look to me to help you maintain it. |
Depends on th e bear. Not the current communist Pope. |
| In DC, yes. In LA, no. |
I really don't think men need our help. https://ourpublicservice.org/publications/race-gender-and-public-service-leadership-major-findings-from-our-360-data/ |
If you are part of a society than you have to contribute to maintain it. You house might never go up in flames so why support firefighters? You may never be robbed so why support police? You sound very selfish...me, me me! We all need each other unless you move remotely and don't rely on anyone. |
Actually, in Scandinavian countries where this infrastructure is provided by the government, women are in fact not complaining and are reporting the highest levels of happiness in the world. The fathers are true equals: take parental leave, etc. Marriage percentage is very low, as women prefer to stay unmarried to keep the benefits and the freedom to move on from a slacker man Women who are empty nesters in their 40-50s are incredibly self-sufficient. You take out the childcare of equation - they end up better positioned for retirement vs men. Men drink, engage in risky sexual behaviors, gamble, waste money on women etc. Women are driving charities, traveling, investing in self care etc. You can only be successful with dating women like that by being a truly equal, caring, communicative partner. Because in everything else she'll match. Just so not to be called a gold digger or a dinner whore |
| I am really easy to get along with, very pretty, and love sex, so DH locked that down when I was 23. I suspect most easygoing women are the same. |
This is a complete delusion. How many women under 35 make enough money on their own to get pregnant, pay for all childcare expenses, save for retirement, buy a nice house??? Top 1% of women yes. 99% of women no. Women don’t need men to have kids, they need men to pay for the kids. If they’re child free, different story. But child free isn’t a scalable lifestyle unless you want civilization to collapse. |
Well, according to statistics, women under 30 were making more money than men in DMV area since 2019 https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/national/verify-yes-young-women-are-making-more-than-young-men-in-22-metros-including-dc-and-nyc-wage-george-washington-university-georgetown-pew-research-cent/65-8a4675cd-96e4-4f86-b380-7d0f2e9990f0 So for sure women of child bearing age are better positioned than men to provide for the kids |
I'm a woman and I beg to differ that somehow women made huge strides towards evolution and men didn't. It just seems so because women are doing better since last few decades after getting more opportunities and it will even out. Men are also adapting to new roles where they are expected to share more emotions, chores etc. Even now, there are mature and accomplished men and women as well as immature and unaccomplished men and women. Its really wrong to label one gender somehow inferior. We are seeking equality. |
Women making more than men makes no difference on the ability to raise children if most single incomes aren’t enough to provide for a family. If women under 30 are making 50k and men under 30 are making 47k, neither are going to be supporting a family on their own without struggling. |
"Women marry men hoping they will change. Men marry women hoping they will not. So, each is inevitably disappointed." |
