Pure non-sense just like so many books about why women are avoiding it. Its much more to do with not wanting or needing to in modern society. It took two to accomplish all lives chores of living at one time ;now we have washing machines and even pre packaged food.
She is right about the image of men in the media, they are portrayed as bumbling idiots. She is also right that they aren't allowed to speak up. We have diminished men and wonder why they are no longer willing to be our superheroes.
Men won't get married because they know if things don't work out they will be crucified in divorce court no matter the circumstances. And the ex will move to Oregon and you only see Little Johnny once a week in the summer. And there aint a thing you can do about it.
That's why smart men don't get married anymore. At least till they're 35 or so.
I can tell you now that I am married, and that if something was to ever happen, I would NEVER ever get married again... I provide everything and what I get in return is paltry compared to my efforts... the only reason I am still married is because I made a commitment... I don't break commitments...
With paternity tests via DNA, you don't have to be married to wind up paying child support. From what I've read, men used to get married because it was expected and supposedly enabled them to have sex given that is how women viewed the issue of sex. Today, sex is not an issue within the confines of marriage but one of birth control and STDs.
I don't see this ever reversing course. Fact is, among the couples I know who are married, many, maybe most, are unhappy relationships held together by custom, religion or sheer grit. Sad way to live out a life.
Since many men in US converted to the liberal faith, they're no longer men. They're weak, feminine, selfish spoiled brats, looking for a nanny or a mommy, not a woman to marry. They're just afraid of women & family, actually liberal "men" are afraid of everything, especially traditional manly stuff like guns or fatherhood. Women have all the reasons to despise them.
I agree with all of this except for the cause of the downfall of US men. Most men nowadays DO seem like spineless, helpless wimps who want a woman to take care of them financially.

Do most of the couples you know have children?
