What about the increased suicide rate and increase drop out rate that is happening with boys? Oh wait we don't talk about those things. You are right. It's those damn anime inspired username CEman screwing everything up. Much nuance there.

Why don't you make a topic relevant to it then and launch the discussion

Update: Looks like you really care about this tragedy going by the lack of said topic

No matter how eloquent or fair minded one might comment on this, you're just going to get called a sexist.

I mean, can we not say that SOME women suck just like how some men suck?

Too bad for those women. If they've got good careers & are making money, then they shouldn't need to find some well off guy to support them.

Things like this are why a lot of guys perceive women to be gold diggers.

I dunno I agree with them to a certain point because I am also not about that life where I'm responsible for >70% of household income where if I lose my job we're instantly living on the side of the road

The article mentions making a liveable wage and I don't think that's an unreasonable requirement

Men out-earn women and it's a cultural problem that most negatively effects women. Social activism kicks in and women are enabled, empowered and pushed forward like never before.

Women out-earn men and it's a cultural problem that most negatively effects women. Men are just coddled and need to get out there and earn more.

They always find away to frame things in a way that presents issues as women being most disadvantaged. And there is rarely a suggestion that women should settle for men who earn less, because it is not popular to suggest that women should ever have to settle.

But then, I generally think normalized traditional gender roles were an effective and beneficial thing overall.

Probably from the poster's frustration regarding gender issues and their presentation in the media.

We have here an article, and it's not the first, about how women literally having it too good is a problem because they can't find a man they think is good enough for them.

And boys and young men having a legitimate problem with disproportionately high drop out and suicide rates is rarely touched on in the news.

yes. And there's nothing wrong with that.

Men like looks, women like status.
Men care about boob size, women care about height.
Men care about weight, women care about muscles.

We just have to accept that none of the 2 genders should be in a pedestal

Wonder if there's any overlap of people who

  1. Support the "debunking" of the gender wage gap by pointing out that the "80 cents to a dollar" claim doesnt apply holistically due to examples such as men taking higher risk manual jobs (therefore signifying them paying attention to the fallacies of looking at the problem without taking specific jobs into account)
  2. People in this topic acting like the women in this article played themselves because they want their men to make good money in general (completely ignoring the fallacy of somehow attributing the dating mindset of "I'm only going to date someone with the same occupation as me, also I want to make more than them" to the women)
Some office chick wanting to make the same amount of money as a coworker says nothing about her not wanting to date some rando dude with a different occupation making dirt

Wrong. She needs to go for a man who has his own place and his job. Doesn't matter what job he works.

Even if he doesn't have neither of these things, he can't be a person who want to remain idle and don't want to work. Just like how some of us don't want women who don't know how to cook, doesn't respect her man, etc

So you want to control him? Because someone needs to be controlling somebody in a marriage. And it's better for a man control his woman.

I'm aware that today's women had a problem with that, but a man is supposed to control a woman. It's not degrading at all.

This is one of reasons in today's time why women couldn't find no man to settle down with because they tried to be like men. This is also one of the reasons why men aren't men in today's day.

Well pre-nups can be seen as IF YOU REALLY LOVED ME YOU WOULDNT THINK THERES A CHANCE IT WONT WORK!!!

Cue melodrama, passive aggressiveness, and I think we need premarital counseling, I thought I knew you better.

Agree. But also dating has changed so much. Both women and men aren't necessarily looking to marry like they used to. Particularly women who have a career.

Yeah, that's why more men today are not accepting that as assurance of a safe marriage anymore. The older guys, including the ones experienced in actual law...even some fucking judges...are casually letting younger men in on the secret that a prenup does not do shit anymore. Mass media just opened the flood gates for it.

And that's not all. Some of the older marriage arrangements that were settled with a prenup like 30 years ago can be challenged in court today...and actually overturned. Like seriously, a prenup is toilet paper. Look it up lmao.

Every time I catch a bro considering a prenup like it's a holy grail I tell him to do his research first. And I don't do that to piss all over their idea of marriage. I just want them to approach it with a clear lens and not get duped into thinking it's suckerproof.
