Why do you think so many women these days are LGBTQ? The answer to marry other women. Everything is better— the sex, the communication, the listening, plus the earning potential.

The poorest families demographically in the US is a family headed by a lesbian couple. The most well off are households headed by a gay couple.

+1! I started dating women after my divorce, and now I don’t know why I married a man in the first place. Everything is better with a woman.

But I’m not gay!

Listen. We're actively recruiting. Plus you can fit a lot in a Subaru.

There won't be childless women for long if the GOP has their way. The "domestic supply of infants" demands our services.

Nope. It’s actually same sex male couples, followed by same sex female, followed by opposite sex.

OP, we as a nation should be very, very concerned about this trend. It’s not a joke because many of these lonely guys are getting pulled into dark web and turning their frustration about their status on women and POC. We as a society need to invest in Real Life social engagements for our kids, especially our sons. And No, I don’t blame the education sector. I blame Right wing news telling our white sons they are being “replaced.”

It’s scary and dangerous.

Not true. Witness China and Japan. In China, men in their 20s outnumber women by a long-shot due to the past one-child policy and a preference for boys. There's no easy sex and porn is blocked in China (but you can get around it of course). The men aren't dominating industry -- they're become hermits. They call it the "lie down generation" because they just want to stay in bed all day.

Same in Japan, and there's even a term for it hikikomori

Agreed. This fuels lots of dangerous groups, and probably the 1/6 rioters were among this group.

I do put some blame on schools at least at K-12 level. There's been such a focus on girls -- getting them to study STEM etc -- which is good of course -- that they lost focus of boys and the boys are falling behind. If it's a few boys, I'd say blame the parents, but it's such a large group that the cause is greater than just parenting.

Nah. It’s because American parents have such dreadfully low expectations of boys. They let them get away with doing no chores and just sitting in their rooms playing video games all day. Parents tend to insist girls do chores and behave well.

Although I guess teachers may hold boys to the same low standards. Eve as a kid I was aware that teachers expected girls to behave better than boys and they held us to those standards.

There is no "you go boy!" or "boys can code" etc in schools. It all focuses on girl power, and nothing on boy power. Teaching staff is majority female, with few male role models.

You can almost change boy and girl to certain races instead, and it's the same issue.. but do we blame parents of the underperforming race for not parenting, or is it a wider problem?

I disagree. I have two older boys, both in STEM (one in med school) and it's still very very male dominated.
