Arthur Schaper: “The Fertility Crisis Explained (and What to Do About it).”

An insightful piece on Townhall, an American conservative website. An extract:

“Sure, marriage decline is a cultural problem. People want their freedom, and they don’t care about kids. Sexual gratification is easier to obtain than ever. On a more serious note, marriage for the modern man isn’t worth the sacrifice. It’s not just about the easy access to sex or the loose sexual mores. Feminist political machinations have become so entrenched that men don’t have rights or nearly the standing which they need—and deserve—to make marriage viable. For men, marriage has become a zero-sum game, in which they get the zero, and the woman can get the sum of everything, and the men have to lump it.

The problem with the marriage sacrament, and the reason why men are not getting married, is the feminized saturation of our legal culture. Women now have all the rights, and men have all the responsibilities. You cannot sustain a marriage of any meaning on such a lopsided, one-sided moral calculus. Women are taught to not have to honor men or submit to their leadership in a marriage. The divorce laws are so lax, men see no incentive to marry when a woman can easily dissolve the marriage, walk away with half of everything, keep the kids, and the ex-husband still pays for everything. I cannot tell you how many men have shied away from marriage because of this all too potential scenario.”

    • Arthur, you’re welcome. I can’t recall when I last saw such a well-written piece on the issue.

      At our last (and online) International Conference on Men’s Issues an Irishman, Gerry Alexander, provided a terrific video on how feminists were (and remain) “useful idiots” in population control. I thought it might be of interest to you:

  1. The defaulters in the marriage construct are women. Female mating preferences [the ability to ‘trade up’ to a higher-value man, at any time (taking with her the children & most of the assets of the lower-value man)] are facilitated by no-fault divorce, ushered in by NAWL, the National Association of Women Lawyers, and soon a feature of the western world.

    As a result, the marriage vows are effectively meaningless. For women. Yet, remain a legal framework for asset-stripping men.

    Women don’t want to own the consequences of their actions. They don’t want to own anything until they divorce you. Then, they want to own everything.
