And we're supposed to believe in sexual equality here. So it should be considered sexist when women accuse men of following their biological impulses.

Lip ring, shitty nails (this is a pro photshoot, looks like) and torn jeans.

Given her name and her city, her dating pool was limited anyway of her own volition. That cohort on the male side is fricking brutal, emotionally, especially in the city.

the nails especially scream, "I dont give a shite". I wonder how many aspects of her life that applies to?

We tried to warn ya ladies. We didn’t want you to work not because of control and power, but because we care about you enough to not want you to have to live that grueling existence.

Women initiate 70% of all divorces and 90% in the college educated group. It isn’t men “trading them in”.


I wonder what the stats are for stay-at-home wives vs women who have a career (some are even the main breadwinner) as far as initiating divorce. Are the women leaving their husbands the ones whose husbands are ok supporting the family, don’t cheat, and are generally good husbands? Or are the women leaving the ones whose are working full-time as well as doing most of the childcare and house chores?

I am generally aligned with your sentiment …until you go borderline Taliban


A woman listening to her husband isn’t borderline Taliban. God structured the family where we men are supposed to be the leader of the family.

And as the leader of the family, God commands we love our wife as Christ loved His church. What does that mean? Well, Christ loved His church so much he laid down His life for it. And before that, he gave his church wise counsel for their betterment. He nurtured and provided for His Church. He protected and honored His church. Christ’s leadership of His followers was that a servant. He didn’t boss them around or lord over them. Everything Christ did was for the well being of His church. He personally never benefited at the expense of His church.

That is how we are supposed to lead our wife and children. And when you do, you’ll come to understand the greatest earthly blessing and lasting joy is a loving and devoted wife and mother of your children.

The hardest part for the single or divorced boss girl often isn't middle age. It comes after the parents pass away.

If you don't have siblings and don't have kids or a spouse that becomes more lonely over time. Men often fill that time by working more but that is often less satisfying to women after they reach certain career goals.

It's not talked about enough what an advantage it would be for most women to reverse the order of the career and family. If you have the kids in your early to mid 20s and then go back to school for the advanced degree and power career you have the fertility thing locked down and have another 30 or 40 years ahead of you for your career.

I've known several accomplished women who did that and flourished. Several of our female Supreme Court justices (O'Connor, Ginsburg, Coney Barrett) also did that and easily made up for the lost career time.

Don't really feel bad for her.

She probably had dozens of guys interested in her when she was in her 20's but she wouldn't date them because they didn't look like Brad Pitt, didn't make enough money, or were too nice.

She's mad now those same guys are staying single, dating foreign women, or dating younger women and she's no longer the "prize."

I would say, generally, that biologically we may want to bang the 20 year old, but we don't want to date them seriously, and certainly not marry them. The exception of course being extremely immature men who get along just fine with 20 year old women.

Maybe females can start a new movement where they can date down the economic and educational tiers

Appreciate your response.

Hear you.

With this important exception. Got there (loving and devoted to our family is central tenet of how we roll) without implied subservience in “listen to their husbands”. ‘Team in God’ has worked extremely well for us. Together. Us. Both. Key!

The Madmen approach ain’t it.

One of the biggest triggers is apparently the man either loses his job or the woman gets a new raise and then starts to earn significantly more. The woman's interest in sexual intimacy typically dips and the emotional disconnection gradually grows.

The difference in satisfaction in those marriages decreases in the woman first. Male satisfaction gradually follows as the wife's interest in sex (if everything else is unchanged) turns out to be a good prediction for her interest in the husband as a partner. That stuff (the social value of the mate) also tracks with the ways women view men as objects of comparison with other women.

She's posing single on the rooftop of the Chelsea Hotel in NYC in that photo. Tells me all I need to know and sums up that article perfectly.

Chance of divorce for men increases by 60% if he loses his job. The same isn’t true for women.

Men are valued for their usefulness and resources.

Based on all these articles about female teachers banging middle school and HS students it seems like plenty of women are following their “biological impulses” too.

This one is just mad because she rode the dating carousel too long while probably being completely obnoxious and unavailable for the guys she now wants to lock down so she wound up without any safe fall back guy to “settle down” with.

Any guesses on her body count? 50? More?

This goes back further than most people realize. Gloria Steinem was a CIA plant/asset. Go ahead. Look it up. Fact check me.
