Excellent essay, John, brave and full of *truth that must not be spoken*. I enjoyed your Brass Pills website because it presented exactly these kinds of non-P.C. truths. I went to law school, and I saw how the pendulum swung in divorce property settlements after "no fault" divorce laws became the norm. Trading up, or "changing horses" mid-stream, became more common for both parties, and possession of the kids became the bargaining chip. Tough to watch, and it scared me away from having kids until it was too late for me.
I'll be 60 this April. I grew up in the 1960's and '70's, and while this article is right, I was a young lady at a time when males my age were into the then fashionable women having careers outside the home. I WANTED to be a homemaker but the guys I knew actually sneered at the concept. They also sneered at God and expected free sex. I'm certain that there were "old fashioned" guys out there who would have made great husbands and fathers, but most of us (if any) could not read minds. The one's I knew were good men were already married. I'm afraid that it's even more difficult for young people now-a-days when "hooking up" with somebody who's not your spouse, sexualizing children and able-bodied people living on welfare is now the norm.
If I were an invading general seeking to conquer and take over a foreign land -- and were sufficiently patient -- I'd infect the population with Feminism. It's far and away the most devastatingly destructive force on any civilization.
Kevin Samuels has a YouTube channel where anyone can actually see how modern women prove your point about way overestimating their "value" in the relationship/marriage game. I'm now 70, and would NEVER, EVER consider marriage nowadays if I was younger.
