Let’s change the focus for a second from men to women. We are now about four decades into the “feminist movement,” whose leaders said that men are oppressors, that marriage is an oppressive institution, the the relation between husband and wife is like a slave relation, that ideals of love and romance are delusions that keep women from making money, having careers, and gaining power. And so for these many decades our laws and customs have changed to reflect this new ideology. Women have money, careers, education, and can even run for president. Yet many educated young women today are still standing around waiting for some man to pop the question, give her a big rock, and take care of her until she decides she wants to move on (with his money). Get real, ladies! It’s not going to happen. Most of the young women out there are never going to get married or have children because men have now lost interest in marriage, thanks to your older “sisters” who thought they could get ahead by declaring men the enemy. Ms Hymowitz is an outstanding writer, but she seems to have forgotten that we have had a revolution in morals and customs over forty years, and it was not made by men by by women. Instead of pointing fingers, it would be better if we just learned to live with our new situation and encourage women to forget about marriage and children.
