In the current climate, saying something like: "People who love each other should get married," will surely serve you one of the following labels: A silly little girl who hasn’t watched the movie Frozen, a demented 80-year-old who has escaped from his ward. or a Christian fundamentalist.
Think for a moment about everything you watched growing up, and the messaging was clear: men want a woman who is fun and free and who isn’t like the other girls. Not wanting to be the kind of girl others mock, posting #no drama, #nostrings, #easygoing has been all the rage, while dreaming of walking down the aisle the absolute faux pax.

Equality is not the problem. It is this stubborn, irrational insistence that they are identical is where the problem lies. THAT is the basis for converting the term sex into gender. Never use it unless you are talking about English grammar.

Huh. I thought trannyism was supposed to eliminate the "Great Divide".

All valid points, but missing some key details:
1. The legal system is absolutely insanely biased against males. It starts in school where all boys are presumed rapists, even if proven innocent. All it takes is one crazy person to make an allegation. So boys are not only not perusing girls, they actively avoid them. That has destroyed the formerly most prolific place to find a spouse.
2. Workplace culture is the same. Only an idiot dips his pen in company ink. There’s good reasons for these laws, but the bad actors have destroyed the second most prolific place to find a spouse.
3. The family law courts are just off the charts biased against men. Price of poker in marriage is way higher for men than women. Of course they avoid it.
4. Finally, far too many American women are not good partners. When a man’s utility is expended (say, he got hurt at work), they’ll dump him.
99% of American women have a priority of who they care about, in this order: their children, their parents, their siblings, close women friends, then, if there is anything left over, their husband. The husband, in contrast, is required to give 110% of himself to the wife, forget his friends and hobbies, and bring home money. It’s a bad trade, no sensible person would make.

Not a particularly interesting or good read, but an interesting topic.
That said, I've aged out of the boy girl psycho drama and probably am not competent to have an opinion. So here it is. The birth rates are already plunging. I've heard young women (who are consumers of "Handmaiden's Tale") complain that they are not birthing chattel, and of course they want the "right" to throw out the foetus like garbage. If it's garbage if she says so, why should a man value it? Or better said perhaps, want to make a preliminary commitment to it if she can throw it away tomorrow on a whim?
Of course, these beliefs are an individual thing, but they are touted by the Dims as the ethical way to think.
Then there's hypergamy, a thing I guess.
A youtube channel I watched long ago - "Girl Says What?" - was a Canadian men's rights activist who did a very compelling analysis of the history of the balance in the legal system between the species (men and women). It gave me a much clearer perspective of the con that is the idea that women have been historically and systematically treated like dirt. Would you rather have been the dirt that was told you have to stay home and take care of the babies or the dirt that was told you have to go fight this war in some trenches over somewhere in Europe and say goodbye to your life?
Everybody was treated like dirt.
Of course, all that context has changed, but the great con about poor abused you is most likely not true. Everybody was abused. Life was very tough. It's a lot better now, it we don't burn it down or blow it up or fail to feed it.

Whenever they say it's about, "equality," you know it's really about "superiority."

Like other movements, the women's movement and others related, have gotten an unstoppable momentum. It's not about "equality", rather it's about "reparations" for all the wrongs committed by evil males. There are regulations, laws and judgements that lead to programs and special privileges that "level the playing field" but actually tilt it instead in favor of the aggrieved. Where are the special programs to draw males into teaching, nursing, medicine and veterinary sciences, now all unapologetically female dominated? Where are the legal protections for men in areas such as job discrimination? Meanwhile, men are expected to hold doors...for their equals.

As my old granny was fond of saying, why by the cow when the milk is free? Somewhere along the line, virtue took a nose dive and women have been attempting to live like randy teenage boys now. When young women go down that path, self-hate will creep in and regardless of their insistence that men and women are the same, I assure you, they are not. Males just think differently when it comes to sex. The problem is we have abandoned the concept of shame. Today it’s all about physical attractiveness. It has become a sexually driven buffet and you cannot build a relationship on that criteria alone. Young women are selling themselves short and there is little to no pressure on young men to settle down and start a family. The postponement of adulthood is not having a good outcome. Neither is the idea that when marriage gets tough, you bail. Anyone married any length of time will tell you it is hard. There is give and take and many times real commitment to the marriage and children produced by it is pushed aside for personal gratification. My advice for anyone desiring to get married and wanting it to last is go to good faith based pre-marital counseling sessions. Take your vows seriously, go to church and raise your kids in the faith of your choice, put your spouse first, and together decide to work through your problems because there will be problems. A strong family unit will produce good results. Children thrive when they see their parents actually love each other. They learn by example. Marriage is harder than we think but it is best atmosphere in which to raise children and ultimately find happiness and fulfillment. If you are self-centered it is the worst possible situation you can get yourself into. Don’t lower your standards. Insist upon building a life with someone who has a similar world view. Never settle. Waiting for the right person is never as bad as wishing you had.

In our world, the male of the species is generally stronger, and bigger than the female. This includes human beings. The left doesn't like that and insists men and women are equal. Equal pay for equal work , yes, but there are no female weightlifters competing against men. Or any other competitive sport.

I've seen the results of this feminist indoctrination in my younger sister's classmates from high school. Mind you, they graduated from high school in 1976. My sister along with several of her friends are now in their mid-sixties. Most have married. None have children, but all became successful in their field of work. Despite most of them marrying very successful husbands, success in their work became their objective. There was no interest in having children. Their interest was in having a large home great vacations, travel, and clothes. This they achieved. They have no clue about the issues or joys of having children. I think for at least some of them, the holidays have become a lonely time, with increasing amounts of reaching out for get togethers during this holiday or that holiday. I think this type of situation will happen to the kids of the past twenty years as many are not dating, seeing anyone, or even want to get involved with anyone. Texting is as close as they dare get to a relationship.

There are a lot of women out there, but only a percentage of them are attractive to real men. The others are not attractive to men because of the way they look and act. Without the possibility of attracting a man, some of those those unattractive women then fall back on the currently fashionable ”woke” situation in the country, and drift into transgenderism or other facets of the LGBTQ+ political movement that has been taken advantage of by the leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrats for political purposes.

Never married.
Never had any children.
Never really wanted any.
Never regretted it.
Why did I go that route? Not really certain. It's not just one thing.
Grew up socially awkward, and poor. Not a good combination for asking a girl out on a date.
I remember watching my parents. They loved one another, but in many ways were not happy with each other. Not a good example.
I also remember something my brother said when he started dating. He would see a girl that looked attractive, talk to them, and get totally turned off. There were many girls I would never ask out.
I found I could be plenty content without socializing. One or two good friends were enough. Never went to bars or clubs. I was comfortable with being alone.
I remember joining a few dating services as I grew older, but never really found anyone. I dated someone for four years, but knew anything more serious would not work. We weren't that compatible.
I eventually met the Lady Chihuahua at work and our relationship worked even though there is a large age gap between us. We have known each other for 25 years. We get along well together. We have only really lived together full time since COVID which is ironic. Our relationship survived when she moved from New York to Florida, and I still was committed to New York. That's when we both realized we loved each other enough that the relationship would work. What we have works fine without marriage. We have both lived independently for many years and were financially well off. Neither of us needed to marry 'for the money'.
