The simple truth – though neither gender wants to discuss it, is that the treatment of men by women has been deteriorating for the last 35 years. This has been ever amplified by ever harsher media stereotypes and supported by any variety of legal decisions and political initiatives. As a long married man now single, I am truly astonished by the attitudes and comments made by available women about men in general and single men in particular.
In response men, especially younger never married men, have taken a long look at the potential downside of marriage. More and more of them are opting out of the institution. Finding a life “partner” is not the same thing as finding a life boss.
I think that married women are aware that things have gone to far and are threatened both by the trend of men staying single and by men who demonstrate that they are happily single. Rather than dismissing this as rubbish, perhaps married women might better look to themselves and their marriages and with their husbands make married life better than single life.
Just a thought
