Speaking of Ms. Hymen in the time period she mentions most men getting married by 26, feminism as we know it did not exist, it began during those time periods, but much of the Western world at that time was a man's world. Today, it makes no sense to get married, women do not do a lot of the things they did in the times when most men got married in their 20s, like cook, clean, take care of kids, etc. Divorce laws in almost all Western countries screw over the husband applying automatic guilt for the breakup of the marriage to him, and award the woman with everything.
To some people video games are one of the greatest inventions ever, rather than making people more violent, it has probably saved many lives. Unlike TV and movies a lot of video games are very unpc like GTA and DOA games. A lot of these games are made in Japan and often feature Japanese stereotypes of white western women, overtly slutty and will sleep with anyone.

Other rants by the same woman:
[url]http://www.manhattan-institute.org/html/hymowitz. Htm[/url]
Hymowitz is typical of this feminist, a hypocritical and self-contradictory pseudo-intellectual. Daddy bought her some degrees, she learned how to string some psychobabble together to make herself sound knowledgeable, inserted the obligatory "man bad/woman victim" into the undertones of her articles, along with the unquestioned, sanctimonious assumption women are suddenly qualified by gender alone to rule the world.
Look at other articles by her, compare her view on Single Young Women with her rant on SYM's that was posted below by other contributor.
Its the same old story. Men are getting it now. THAT's what I see about younger generations of men. Good for them!
Look through the above link to Hymowitz's other articles, especially this one:
[url]http://frontpagemagazine.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID=9F44A175-10AD-4B9B-9714-BA12E023218A[/url]
Good for the goose, not the gander. Same schizophrenic argument--as women, they should be naturally empowered under their new self-proclaimed order. If things don't go as planned under their guidance and direction, they didn't fail on their own terms--it was the patriarchy that repressed them, or they were the victim of some vast male conspiracy.
Somehow, women traveling the world, buying what they want, hanging out with girlfriends and enjoying their lives, that's empowering. But finding out their male counterparts are finding the pleasures of hanging out with the boys and banging horny chicks on booty calls, that's despicable. Don't these young guys know they're supposed to pander and cater to these young women, so these young women can one day despise them and fuck up their lives and access to their children in divorce court? Obviously, these young men are far too immature to understand the role that has been assigned to them!
I'm surprised she stuck with videogames in her SYM rant. If she picked up on the upward trend in pooning overseas, she would have given herself a spontaneous hysterectomy.
I love this shit. What I get, is we're going to go head to toe with feminism and have this shit out in the next several years. And they're going down this time. Not because I hate women, not because I want to subjugate, use, and abuse women. But because feminism was and is one of the most absurd social reform platforms ever thrust upon Western society.

My guess is the 82 percent is actually pretty low compared to countries that are basically tribal like, say, just about every other country in the world.
The more interesting number would be the percentage of people in other countries who think the United States is the greatest country in the world.

[QUOTE=Wet Nose]I like this response written by Victor..
-----------------
I am a 37-year-old man. Ms. Hymowitz is right. Young men being happy and doing what they want (as the article admits)? Outrageous! Awful! Terrible! Immature! Intolerable!
Everybody knows that young men have to stop doing what they want and/or makes them happy and marry some woman. This way, even if they are not happy, a woman would be able to do what she wants and to be happy. And, as everybody knows, the happiness of a woman is far more important than that of a man. As everybody knows, men are the beasts of burden of this society. They are only mature when they give up their dreams to fulfill the dreams of a woman.
So maybe he doesn't want to marry and have kids (like the boys in this article) and he wants to live without stress. This is so awfully immature. To be a fully grown-up man, he must do the following:
1. He must slave himself working 10 hours a day, to support a wife and kids he didn't really want, to buy a house in the suburbs he doesn't really need, and a SUV his wife nags him to buy. He must have a huge debt to buy everything his wife wants.
2. He must bear with an ever-nagging, ever-whining woman who is always dissatisfied if she doesn't get everything her way.
3. He must resign himself when sex dries up after some years of marriage and affection and kindness are a distant memory.
4. He must not complain when his wife decides that she is bored and divorces him, and he is stripped of all their assets and loses their children (the children he didn't want before they were born, but now wants most in the world).
5. He must pay for years child support for children whom he barely sees. In certain states, he must pay alimony for a woman who does not perform anything in return.
Only if he does all of this is he A GROWN UP. Not collaborating in his own destruction makes a man very immature.[/QUOTE]
Your post just gave me a epiphany....
-
Why do we even NEED the institution of marriage anymore anyways? What purpose does it REALLY serve? And couldn't we find a way to bring up children that doesnt ruin our OWN lives?
I'm all for tearing the whole fucking mess down and starting over with some better ideas. And I think it's insane that all these "feminist" authors are defending marriage, which is the one institution that has kept them down for so long! If you really want to look at it statistically marriage has caused WAY WAY more harm to women than prostitution EVER could!
I think the ancient Celts had it right. Marriage should be a 5 year contract that automatically EXPIRES if not renewed.

[QUOTE=Bango Cheito] And I think it's insane that all these "feminist" authors are defending marriage, which is the one institution that has kept them down for so long! [/QUOTE]
BC has a great point here. I remember in the 70's that feminist authors were [i]disparaging[/i] marriage as being a male tool of oppression against women. The feminist movement felt so strongly that they forced the passage of laws that gave women more rights in marriage. That is how our draconian divorce laws developed.
Men's reaction has been to not get married as much as before. NOW, women are complaining about marriage again! This time that men are immature for waiting so long to get married, if at all.
I think the flip-flop discredits feminists quite a bit.

george90,
also, don't forget friedan's original posture on alimony--that it was condescending to women, and that if women wanted to be equal, they had to do so on their own terms and their own ability.
well, then the 70's saw the advent of a large spike in divorces, and it didn't turn out to be so easy for women post-divorce. then the feminist movement silently changed its posture to being pro-alimony. nowadays, we've seen the growth of the victimization industry, as evidenced by vawa legislation, which is preposterously unconstitutional, yet has been tolerated through two rounds of legislation. this last round, they added imbra, which puts blocks in place for men in the u. s. interacting with women overseas with intent to marry, of all things! and the feminists harp on and on about how marriage to foreign-born women is dangerous for these women (because all american men are one small step away from wife-beating psychopaths) and subservience for these poor women, yet the numbers indicate that these marriages have much higher success than the rate of the us population at large, and much less rates of domestic violence. in fact, lesbian couples, of all the progressive alternatives the real hardcore feminists offer up as alternatives to hetero couples, have much higher rates of domestic violence complaints, and break-ups.
deconstruct feminism, its a terribly discriminatory movement. its very thinly veiled premise is that women are, by gender, morally and intellectually superior to men, but their ability to guide society to a new utopian state has been repressed by the onerous obligations to motherhood and a vast conspiracy of men to subjugate them. i don't know how a self-respecting woman can buy into the whole platform of filth this movement endorses. i'm not sure when this utopia is going to arrive, but something's dreadfully amiss--"every pregnancy a planned pregnancy? " well, why is it that 40% of american women abort a pregnancy at some point in their reproductive lifetime (hint, most are not due to [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord123][CodeWord123][/url] or coercion, as the propaganda implies, but rather, 90%+ are due to females not understanding the nature of sexual intercourse and fertility from a female perspective, as in, you fuck, you and your partner are fertile, there is always a chance you will conceive. the numbers indicate they are conceiving in numbers far higher than responsible use of birth control would indicate were possible).
and healthier relationships? well, the legal institution of marriage is in the shits for sure. the only real people who seem to be fighting for it are the gays and lesbians, and someone should really take of the silk gloves and give them a 'smakin'--there's more to heterosexual marriage than just socially recognizing your "love"--hetero couples can biologically create new human life.
freedom doesn't cut both ways with hardcore feminists. witness earlier post about the same author's hypocrisy when insulting and lambasting single young men's behavior, compared to her support for single young women acting in a similar, individualistic frame.
but the ones that disparage women the most? the feminists. the whole movement is nothing but reactive against the unique sexual realties of being female. being female, in my book, is a much more complicated sexual state than being born male. the feminist movement does women a unique disservice by lambasting the "feminine mystique" while not realizes there really is something uniquely different about the feminine state when compared to the male state, which is really the de facto standard for our western psychology and free will bias.
personally, if our sons "get it"--they work hard, move up quickly, save and invest their money wisely and aggressively when young instead of taking on onerous family obligations in their 20's that society doesn't reward and these fringe groups keep sniping away at, they hang out with long-term male friends, play videogames, work out, bang some beaver on "booty calls" at the local bars, and save up and take a couple overseas trips and find out what sensual and sexual women often await them overseas, they're going to bring about the death of feminism. and its about damn time. because feminism surprisingly loses its power when its not controlling and manipulating relationships of trust.

From "The Engagement"
Seinfeld
"I had a very interesting lunch with George Costanza today."
Kramer
"Really?"
Seinfeld
"We were talking about our lives, and we both kind of realized we're kids. We're not men."
Kramer
"So then you asked yourselves, 'Isn't there something more to life?'"
Seinfeld
"Yes, we did."
Kramer
"Yeah, well let me clue you in on something... There isn't."
Seinfeld
"There isn't?"
Kramer
"Absolutely not. I mean, what are you thinking about, Jerry, marriage? Family? They're prisons! Man-made prisons. You're doing time. You get up in the morning, she's there. You go to sleep at night, she's there. It's like you gotta ask permission to use the bathroom. 'Is it alright if I use the bathroom now?!' And you can forget about watching TV while you're eating."
Seinfeld
"I can?"
Kramer
"Oh yeah. You know why? Because it's dinnertime, and you know what you do at dinner?"
Seinfeld
"What?"
Kramer
"You talk about your day. 'How was your day today? Did you have a good day today or a bad day today? Well, what kind of day was it? Well, I don't know, how about you, how was your day?'"
Seinfeld
"Boy."
Kramer
"It's sad, Jerry. It's a sad state of affairs."
Seinfeld
"I'm glad we had this talk."
Kramer
"Oh, you have no idea."

Cost of raising kids - before college....

Marriage is pretty much an archaic institution in the USA as well as a number of other countries.
-
The other hidden part of young men not wanting to settle down is that financially they CANT. For more and more people in this country the idea of actually owning real estate is becoming more and more far-fetched. And kids, friggin FORGET IT!
Hell these days, if you have kids you could be making $50k a year and STILL have to hit the food bank every so often here in NYC.

The US Dollar is turning into a joke, that's why people might make more money but actually be living worse. New York is one of the most overpriced hellpits on the planet. Sydney where I now live is also fairly pricey but nothing like New York or London which are worse.
