It’s ten million over the next 35 years which is about 300k a year.

Is GQ considered serious? I don’t know much about magazines, especially men’s ones.

I mean if you’re talking about the US, yes. This makes sense since white people are the majority in the US so white men have more access to power in general as they don’t face racism and sexism.

Why only white men and white women though?

I refuse to associate with feminism since modern feminists can’t take criticism of oppressive institutions/structures without making it all about themselves, screaming about “choice” and claiming that I’m the one who is really oppressing women by expressing my negative opinion of said institutions/structures.

I’m not sure why you attack me for criticizing marriage as being much more beneficial for men than it is for women and then bring up what your husband got out of marriage (“two great kids and a comfortable home life”)..? You do realize that the examples you brought up are exactly my point, right?

If equality in marriage was to ever be achieved, married men would not be better off than single men. How can you not understand that? All those benefits are the result of the inherent inequality in marriages. If the inequalities go away, then so do the benefits of being married.

I’ve heard of the purported mythology of married men being healthier than unmarried men (not the wealthier part - that seems counterintuitive).

Still trying to figure that part out, other than to chalk it up to the idea that men can only function if they are dominant over women, and if they can’t be then they have no reason to bother.

You are implying a false equivalency where I suggested no equivalency at all. I’m not saying that men and women have the same amount of pressure put on them to get married, or have the same conditioning to want marriage.

Heterosexual relationships existed before marriage. They can exist without it.

North American then, Western. I wasn’t talking about parental leave at all. I was more referring to the fact that this is a very Western/capitalist mindset. In my home country, which is not Western and did not turn capitalist until the 90s, women were just expected to do both (work and raise children). I believe that…

Aren’t regular condoms already protection against common STIs?

You’ve said a lot of things you don’t think. You don’t think that the solution is that men should be encouraged to coparent. You don’t think that men can have children outside of marriage (that was right there in the post I originally commented on).

Why do the majority of women get married if it’s so terrible for them? You can argue about societal pressure all you want, but the same goes for men.

Why? Sex is natural and in no way oppressive outside of patriarchal context.

I don’t know. Maybe.

Plenty of men (and it is becoming more common) are choosing to make that sacrifice so that their female partners can move forward in their careers.

You’re determined to think the only true feminist is a single, child-less woman and that’s hilarious.

No it’s not.
