That and the fact that there are a disproportionate number of men who have become a sort of social out cast as far as good jobs and desirable women. As the currancy crumbles who do you think is going to be recruited by the unknown future power to be their muscle. In germany it was the SS and the SA who were hitlers thugs.
What do you think guys with nothing to loose are going to do?
Exactly. An excess of jobless, untethered, loveless men is not a good thing to have around when social upheaval come a knockin'.
Seriously though, my parents were married 46 years when dad passed. Their marriage did not teach me how to have a successful happy marriage because they were not genuinely happy. There was not cheating or abuse it was basically Dad was the breadwinner thus head of household and mom kept her place. They were both good parents and raised us kids to be stable productive citizens but looking at their marriage I knew I would rather divorce than live in a marriage that was basically just going thru the motions. I'm sure that is a step above being a product of divorce though.
I get that, but don't discount the advantage you had because you had a stable two parent upbringing.

What do you think guys with nothing to loose are going to do when they are granted access to the "party" and only members of that party will be getting good jobs and thus the only ones that can provide any security for a woman. Oh and by the way the hot douch who was landing all the women before just may have his door kicked in and be sent off some where and womens rights will disappear over night (divorce protection, etc, etc).
This thread has taken a rather sinister turn, hasn't it?
I guess, but what do you think will happen when large groups of men are pissed off?
Same thing that happens now:
- Some will get counseling, and learn how to identify and heal the emotional problems that make them unattractive to women.
- Some will become christian terr*rists (or whatever their local religion is).
- Some will become other kinds of criminals and go to jail.
- Some will admit to themselves that they are gay, and find a husband and a happy life.
- Some will continue to live in their parents' basement forever.
It's true that, as you imply, guys like this are very vulnerable to being manipulated into hate crimes, because of the way they try to pin their rage on a target outside of themselves. But there are a host of other societal issues that have to come into play before they can all get manipulated by the same leader.

They'll post on the internet?

Some times Ms. Nila Jones you make complete sense.
I think the problems have always been there in relationships but with all the outlets for opinions we just hear way more than we want or need to now. Facebook is a prime example. Anytime anyone tries to convey personal conversations and feelings via an impersonal, sometimes public, method it is not good.
I think also that the tact we used to have as a society overall is gone. Now it is common to be rude and mean just because we can and have the "freedom" to express it. Feelings do not matter as much for individuals but yet for groups of one kind or another they are very important and must be respected. Of course it seems like relationships are tanking.
Personally I have a great marriage with my husband and my parents have a good one as well. That being said more couples I know are divorced than still married to the same person. It seems like there is a lot of giving up when things get hard and I think part of it is due to instant gratification lifestyle we have. News is ready at the flip of a switch, phones can do almost anything, on demand everything, it has made us a society of impatient people. This lack of patience must transfer to our personal lives too.
