I am sincerely impressed by the so few women on here defending our gender. Perhaps it’s because deep-down they know that there is no defending the “cause” of feminism and the effects it has had on our country?
I am 22, and I married my husband when I was 20. We started dating when I was 18 and he was 22, and we met via the internet (though niether of us are “fugly,” as some feminists have assumed was the case; apparently just because you don’t sleep around, go out to bars, and parade yourself around in a halter, you must be ugly). We married because we loved each other and were best friends. He graduated from college, and we were married a month later. I am still in college today and work about 30 hours a week, and he is a web developer.
Being married has been the single most difficult experience of my life, but I also feel that it has been the single most rewarding. We’ve both done seriously mean, bad things to each other, but we’ve also both forgiven those transgressions.
We have recently decided that having children is important. Too many people look at children as the “next thing” you do after you get married. We look at it as sacrificing our current life for a completely new one. We feel that the biggest problem facing our society is there being no caregiver at home to manage a household, so I am going to stay at home with the kids until they’re old enough to be in high school or college. By that time, I’ll still be young enough to finish my master’s degree and start a career to earn for a while. We hope to have girls so that we can raise them right; it pains us to see the disrepsect, man-hating, and inequality that faces the gender today.
I can agree that there are few women that seem like they would be good wives. I have a lot of distrust for females and have very few female friends. They don’t want me to do what makes me happy; they want me to be just like them. They try to tell me that my relationship is “messed-up” and that he treats me wrong instead of letting me decide my fate for myself.
I hope that men look really hard to find the good girls. There are respectful, modest, chaste girls out there. You gotta look outside the metro areas, I think, though. The internet can be a good place to find common ground. I sincerely empathize with men today. Good luck.
