These whiner guys have problems that are centered on themselves, not society. You’ll hear from later about how American society messed up their retirement, career, etc.
I got married 2 days after graduation from college and have now been married 18 years and have a wonderful wife and 2 kids. This threat of my rights being taken away by divorce is easily resolved by not getting divorced. When getting married, it helps not to enter into the institution with the assumption that if it’s some sort of bummer you can always wriggle free. Once you’re in it, you should be in to stay, and choose accordingly. These guys simply made the wrong choice–she was an expensive bitch before the divorce, too. People I know who got divorced were generally screw-ups for various reasons, and botched this key junction in their lives.
Now, what these oh-so-desirable single men say about being better off single says a lot. Yeah, my wife is a “feminist” in the classic sense of being an equal, with an education, a brain, and productive capacity. And the thing is, a young household run by two equals with ambition will kick the hell out of a single-person household run by some infantile self-absorbed commitment-avoider looking for the next fun thing, male or female.
So while my single friends are aging and becoming desperate, tired, high-mileage, heavy-baggage tragic figures, my wife and I get to enjoy our kids under a firm umbrella of financial security and stability. So let me sum this up: by getting married, we were both able to get rich, have more sex, and have a more enriching home life than our single friends. Oh the pain and tragedy.
