Don't be fooled by these misogynistic views; this is still a very patriarchal society, where man hold most of the control.

With the rise of Trump into the office, you'll see these stupid point of views be tried to passed on as facts, while in reality the problem is economic--pure and simple. The upper class, where both parties have wealth don't care about these petty problems. They gather their things and go, but most wealthy people stay married. (Please don't give me the movie star life as counter example, they are outliers and have different life styles than wealthy families based on the work they do.) Money provides mobility and freedom in America. When the middle class is shrinking, they are just looking to shove the blame to something else other than a proper working government.

It's rational for the opposite sex to look out for themselves, and if good paying jobs with benefits and retirement plans were available for the masses, there be a lot less lawsuits over who gets the car; that along proper education that starts at the home when the parent isn't working 2-3 jobs and now has time to pass down moral and ethical foundations to the next generation, so they are not easily steered by TV and "friends."

I'm not married because I haven't found the person that makes me want to marry them and because I don't make a wage big enough to raise a family, pure and simple. It's a shopping mall out there in the date scene, and there are so many options, but if I ever found someone I plainly desired and the feeling was returned, I would marry with little regret or worry about it. (Of course logistics come in to play too like; is she considerate, frugal, hard working, intelligent, and WISE. I'm sure the opposite sex is looking for the same thing, but lack of money limits our freedom.)

These stupid studies don't take into account the degradation of the family do to economic reasons. They also don't tell you how awful it was for women in the nuclear family model that is so highly fawking looked up to.

Read up on history guys before listening to this bullshit fear mongering.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that you are in your early 20s at most, and a recent university graduate. I can say this because I'm a product of a similar educational system that probably taught the same sociological ideology (University of Calfornia system). At that age, one doesn't pull such ideas out of a vacuum or through self-realization and lived experience; they are taught and learned.

I've also studied through U. Maryland and despite some variances between East and West coast academia, they both reflect Western academia at large.

I spent 8 years in the US Army, two of which were spent overseas, so I don't feel as though my views stem from a limited perspective, but through observation of a variety of cultures, peoples and ideologies. 

If you want to see mysogeny rather than as something you read about and discuss in class or amongst like-minded individuals, I would recommend living in the Middle East or regions of Asia that are less influenced by Western ideology than say Japan, the Republic of Korea and the coastal regions of the PRC that haven't been transformed by "Shanghai wealth." 

36 years old and work in Southern California, have a union job, where the divorce rate is way higher than the national average. Yes, I did attend the  University of California Riverside. Born and raised catholic, travelled to many different countries around the world, naming them would be dumb, but lets just say I know my fair share of the European, South & North American continents. I've yet to visit Africa, Australia and Asia, but they are on the list. I bagpack the countries I go and visit local museums and enjoy reading about them and talking to locals aswell as fellow travellers. I can do this because my job grants me 6 weeks of vacation each year which I take all at once and pick a destination.

I woud like to go to the Middle east, Russia, and Mongolia, Northern Africa, but because of the military industrial complex that the US empire funds, I may be put on some terrorist watch just for trying to fly into locations that hold different views than is spouted by the coporate propaganda machine (we call the media). My friend just recently was placed in the list for flying into Turkey. So yeah, living in those places you named my be no fun, but why should we compare ourselves with those extreme havens of religous idiology, strong patriachal history, or are communist dicatorships? Why not compare oursleves to other developed democratic countries like Australia, The Netherlands, Canada, Sweden, Denmark, or even Israel which is in the middle east, and ofcourse it's existance is sadly funded by US tax dollars.

I wonder how much my hippy style backpacking has affected my view compared to your military service duty (that I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say it has a misogynistic history)

 

 

 

 

Interesting how our views have taken different paths from the same type of education system.

Military culuture. I'm not familiar with it, I never was interested in killing for corporations
