How badly did the women's lib movement ruin marriage for men?

Qualifier: I know I may be overgeneralizing a bit and this isn't related to my personal situation, just what I've noticed culturally.
The other marriage thread got me thinking. Little girls are raised to believe they are princesses and by extension royalty many times today.
This royal attitude seems be part of the package deal with many relationships as well. As a result, many men are treated as servants and held to ridiculous standards.
These are societies list of expectations:
We have to pay the bills.
We have to grill/cook.
We have to up keep the yard.
If the house gets dirty, we may be expected to clean the house as well.
We have to help with the kids and such.
We have to appear more devoured and be the constant romantic.
If a split happens, we have to pay the wife
If a split happens, we have to pay for the kids
On and on...
And women wonder why men avoid marriage and they can't find "Mr Right"
So in an ironic twist, the lib movement hurt women as well.
Hey chicks, you aren't princesses. You're just girls. We aren't princes. We're just guys. We're all screw ups. How about we just accept that and start putting equal effort and expectations into relationships.

You bet not tell your wife you don't like her watery gumbo.

mine's actually cool. But reading this board, you'd think they all suck.
Also, my phone apparently thinks marriage is spelled incorrectly.

The women's lib movement hurt our society in general marriage being at the center of the issues. It wasn't enough for women to be "equal" they didn't want to raise standards for themselves. They wanted expectations lowered for women and therefore, had to destroy men as well.
It's basically to blame for everything in our society today.

Once you realize that 99% of women are a ticking timebomb for an emotional outburst at any given fricking moment over any mundane thing, it's a lot easier to deal with it.

Well apparently you're not allowed to tell your wife her gumbo sucks either

there is absolutely zero incentive for any man to get married today.
its a very high risk, and i see no reward.
esp since i can get sex on the first/second date at a 100% clip (data from this year); why would invest into a LTR with so much access to intercourse???
thanks feminism

It works in cycles. A lot of the girls I know are getting a bit disillusioned with the women's lib movement and think it's jumped the shark. Some parts stuck, others didn't. My SO doesn't want me to pay for her shite, but will still do the dishes and laundry when she can see I got stuff to do.
I think the biggest issue is not getting trapped by an insufferable count on either side of the fence.

You gotta shut that shite down during the relationship stage. If you wait till marriage then it's too late....

Marriage is a team between you and the wife. It isn't a one way street and if it is then it's probably because you didn't lay down ground rules from the start as mentioned above.
