What is the solution?

I have no idea. Maybe we need a major war or we need to bring back manufacturing jobs.
The Reason: Women are paid less than men in general. Therefore companies will hire women over men so they can pay less for salaries. Also there are millions of administrative assistant jobs which do not pay very well, and which men don't want (they aren't really into being subservient).

The Solution: Pay women as much as men. When companies cannot save money by hiring women, things should equal out.

Also: men who have no use should get a hobby or make themselves useful by doing laundry or cleaning the house.

millions of administrative assistant jobs

Not anymore-- with PCS and O/S -- those jobs are history - or they are the multitask jobs were one does 4 peoples jobs- at min wage. Women are only people who can do that job, men do not do well at multitasking -and bringing the dam coffee! I know some men- are good assistants- but most walk out from the abuse and low pay

Then there are the drugs, the other women, men and alcohol- things just change! stop blaming
I dont understand why women are injected into this "problem" of men having nothing to do? Or men not getting a higher education or men being unemployed, or men committing crimes.


Just when I think I can no longer be amazed at what some people blame on womankind, I am again amazed.

A codependent person does not have a lot going for them regardless of their educational level or career success. It is a serious and intractable personality disorder and they do not use good personal judgment or treat people well.


No mentally healthy woman wants to be abused or keeps going back to abusive people. So they can't just... change. No mentally healthy man would want a co-dependent drama prone needy woman anyway. If they are always with genuinely bad men they are not worth having anyway, so what they do should not affect an average decent man.

The cost of living has increased more than the illegal aliens have suppressed and stagnated wages.
Cash. And he never works for 1 hour. Usually 6 - 7 hours.

"A recent report issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) points to a disturbing trend: the number of women arrested for drunk driving is on the rise. The agency calls the problem a national public health and safety issue, confirming Federal Bureau of Investigation figures that women arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) increased by nearly 30 percent from 1998 to 2007. During the same 10-year period, the number of men arrested for DUI decreased 7.5 percent."

"When analyzed as an outcome of unemployment, there were no associations between unemployment and later binge drinking for men. Conversely, there were initial associations between long-term unemployment and frequent binges for women, but this was explained by the characteristics of those who became unemployed, Backhans noted, such as prior drinking habits."

With all of these unemployed men and daycare so hard to find, maybe instead of nannies, we could have "mannies" instead!

The woman can work, bring in the money, do all the cooking and house cleaning, birth and take care of the kids, and get a good beat down into the bargain.

We're getting more Islamic in our approach.

But we're smarter than the Muslims.

We turn the women into ATMs.

In the meantime, they're happy because they get to "have careers."

The only person who should be raising a child are the child's parents.
