I have said that with them everything was an affair ofmoney; yet there is one thing which among us, a people of lively affections…takes the mercantile character very decidedly and which among them has nothing of this character; I mean marriage. We buy a woman with our fortune or we sell ourselves to her for her dowry. The American chooses her, or rather offers himself to her, for her beauty, her intelligence, or her amiable qualities and asks no other portion. Thus, while we make a traffic of what is most sacred, these shopkeepers exhibit a delicacy and loftiness of feeling which would have done honor to the most perfect models of chivalry.”<br />David Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464681514800720063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-18444743835165646192014-12-04T13:25:16.033-08:002014-12-04T13:25:16.033-08:00IMO, feminist denial of their complicity in divorc...IMO, feminist denial of their complicity in divorce is part of a package of denials proffered in response to pressure.<br /><br />A number of canaries are starting to screech in the feminist coalmine, and young women (like the ones at WomenAgainstFeminism) are starting to notice. This has presented feminism with a sales&marketing problem regarding a core constituency, and feminists are making adjustments accordingly in order to escape being tagged with the blame for these breakdowns.<br /><br />One such canary is the creation of what may be a VERY large cohort of women who will never marry. Here's a link to a piece on that trend in the UK:<br /><br />http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2652465/Why-half-todays-20-year-olds-never-married-How-young-couples-likely-cohabit-tie-knot.html<br /><br />Then there's the rise in the number of women who will be raising their children alone. In 1950, single-parent families were 7 percent of families with children under 18; by 2013, they were 31 percent. <br /><br />Another canary: men are fleeing college campuses. For all their bombast, young women at college are very much aware that Susan Patton was right... they will never again have access to so many eligible young men. Schools are struggling to keep the percentage of men from falling below the magic 40% mark because (for one reason) otherwise the school will be unable to attract top women students. Top women students have choice, and can go anywhere they want.<br /><br />Writings like the books like "Men On Strike" are helping pull the sheet off of these feminist outcomes. Worse for feminists, these writings are explaining that men who choose to leave the building are acting rationally, to protect their futures and their own interests. To escape responsibility, feminists are portraying these men as ineffectual losers running away from a world that is changing for the better.<br /><br />And so it goes. Being a single mother is "empowering". Starting the search for a husband in one's 30's is a feature, not a bug of the feminist life-plan. Spin, deny, deflect, project, misdirect.<br /><br />A few years ago, I read the comment (by a feminist, IIRC) to the effect that "Feminism's greatest failing was that it alienated men". These days, there's a full-scale charm offensive underway because feminists have discovered they need men to support and subsidize the next wave of feminist hegemony. So, many feminists have now calculated that is expedient to wage peace against men in hopes of rendering men willingly complicit in their own demasculinization, disenfranchisement, and exploitation. There's a whole lotta recalibration goin' on. Escaping blame for negative outcomes is an important part of that aggression.Lastangonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-85479563100780844522014-12-04T07:20:45.526-08:002014-12-04T07:20:45.526-08:00The 50 percent divorce rate was always a lie or a ...The 50 percent divorce rate was always a lie or a misunderstanding of statistics and the inferences that can be made from them. http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/d/divorce.htm#.VIB4J4u4kdU<br />It is the shabby scholarship in these articles that make one wonder about the credibility that should be given to people who obviously have an agenda and will dissemble to prove a point that lacks validity.<br />In a funny way feminism did improve marriage by demonstrating how wrong they were about every thing. The more women became alienated from feminism the better their marriages became. Though the last thing feminists wanted was stable marriages because the women in those marriage overwhelmingly vote in a manner not conducive to feminism.<br />This has as much validity as Planned Parenthood stating that killing Black children is wrong given their avocation of abortion which affects Blacks at a much higher rate.
