An interesting view, I agree with a lot of what you said, but there are a few things I believe you forgot to consider.
In the article you say woman have been brained washed by media into believing a life outside the model of marrying a good providing man to have kids is a good idea. Continuing with the simplified model, I think you forget to consider how unfair that type of life can be, with all the household and child’s responsibility being left to the woman, they often end up not having the opportunity to explore the world or take part of the building society as men did (beyond raising the man). Woman lives options are reduced to keeping a man happy, cleaning and raising children. To make matters worse most “good man” would either way end up cheating their wife’s, specially once they are worn out of taking care of the children and are not so young anymore. Imagine having one single purpose in your life, keeping your man happy and being betrayed by him getting his needs met some place younger than you. One can argue woman are not just wife’s but mothers, but Children grow to have their own life and are often very ungrateful. You see how woman would often end up living a miserable life in the old model? So, trying to climb the corporate ladder as man do becomes an attractive idea, not because it solves things, but because it means a chance to having a deal that is just a little less “unfair”. Which I honestly think the new deal is worst because the household and children responsibly is still disproportionately distributed to women plus women now also must be providers for the family. But at least it achieves having a chance to know the world and having a different purpose option other than reproduction and housekeeping.
I believe the old model can still be achieved. For the right man a woman would enjoy keeping a save home and raise children.
But yes, most women don’t really think about the reasons and just do it because Carry Bradshaw had pretty shoes and an entertaining romance story they would like to have. And yet if you think of a normal statistic distribution that is well…. normal. If you are bothered by it, you should consider stop wasting your time spending it with the average thinking people and find some that are a little outside the norm and have a little critical thinking skills.
I really can’t talk for all women but as far as I understand things, what “she” wants is the balance of a strong man with resources that can be considered and emotionally available to her and I suppose the children. At the end of it all, it requires a lot more strength to be vulnerable. You know metals are strong because they are in fact less hard than glass? Metals are “ductile”.
I mostly agree with you, I just think you forgot to consider that this helps things go both ways now.
Before modern society and feminism only man had the opportunity to have more options due to their roles, whether it was traveling because of work or accidentally finding another tribe while hunting or in the same social circle because they were not judged by it. Man had a better opportunity to be with more than one woman no matter the stage of their lives.
Now both man and woman have more opportunities of receiving attention from the opposite sex in this social media platforms and can swipe dozens of people and arrange a date with just a few clicks to try and find a suited partner. Instead of just being man that have an advantage for meeting more woman.
If we want to find a root cause for today’s dating problem a strong hypothesis would be that it was caused by men’s infidelity. Men have destroyed the society they built. I am being humorous here, there are millions of variables to this situation, but in modern society woman don’t have to commit to a life of cleaning and raising children for a man that shows signs of having a women vice, a man that will replace her the moment she is no longer juicy and young. Better to at least keep the satisfaction you can provide for you own and be alone than to have sacrificed your life for a man that was not strong enough to hold his dick in his pants. Again, I believe the old model can still be achieved. For the right man a woman would enjoy keeping a save home and raise children.
It’s just modern society at 2024. We are 8 billion humans now. The planet’s resources are no longer enough. We don’t actually need to reproduce; we need a new purpose… Rethinking cities to more sustainable ways and rebuilding economy perhaps?
What I really think is wrong that can still be done right is the fact that somehow today is normal that a kiss means nothing, let alone share your bed. It used to be that a kiss meant creating a bond with a person.
I think even in today’s almost infinite options everything would be ok if people would make the commitment to be with one person at a time and have the character to end things and move on if doesn't work out or they think the someone else is a better option. The way I see it is people willingly put them self in this limbo of being almost something but really nothing, just to avoid being straith forward with their wants and needs, leading to all these insecurities and complications. Why would anyone limit their options for someone that is not making a commitment for them? Do you notice is a reciprocal perpetuating circle?
