[quote=Anonymous]I think the most difficult aspect for the men and boys I know is that women are out-competing them for grades, then internships, then jobs.  And these are the same women turning them down for dates or expecting a different kind of relationship that many of the men had modeled for them by their parents. And for a variety of reasons these women don’t view themselves as needing a man, including to have children. Though having children, which in general solidified the nan as primary earner with the more important career, is decreasingly appealing to women who have other chooses.

There used to be a saying that a wife was a husband’s “ball and chain”, but that’s reversing as a societal view as at least wealthy career successful women are asking at times what they’d need a man for.

It’s a big shift. And big shifts hurt and it takes time to adjust.  But really, as between the genders, it’s a question of both genders competing equitably for schools and jobs, and each person making it worth another persons love and investment to commit to a relationship.  [/quote]
