No, not from Afghanistan or Iraq but from the social idiocy that we have been forced to go through for the last 38 years by the Baby Boomer generation, the feminists, the homosexual activists and the psychologists.
My younger nephew called me last night to tell me that he and his wife are getting a divorce after 2+ years of marriage. On the one hand she wants to have children and be a stay-at-home mom (in other words go back to “the concentration camp” that Betty and Gloria liberated her from); but she is also as angry as hell at all men because of the way her father treated her mother (according to her mother anyways.)
The marriage of my cousin’s oldest son is also in deep trouble because his wife at 40 wants a child while he at 46 doesn’t. Having a child now would mean being the parent of a 15 year old when she would be 55 and he would be 61.
I have mixed reactions to this.
To be honest, there is part of me that wants to laugh and say, “See all that b-s about careers, “age is just a number”, “quality time” and male and female just being socialized differences was just a scam foisted upon the young and ignorant.
As one young woman said to Betty Frieden, “You already have your men and your children.” This younger generation of women doesn’t, will have a harder time finding men willing to take the risk of being blasted in court and many will live out the rest of their lives barren and lonely.
I can’t laugh at that. Despite their contemptible behavior they have been sentenced to a cruel fate. The Christmas cards I received from women, ages 47 to 75, I haven’t seen in a while testifies to their loneliness.
So as the original feminists age and die, the succeeding generations of women will realize what they have lost.
If you want to see what men really mean to women, I invite you to do two things: study the covers of the women’s magazines at the check-out counter at the super-market and ask yourself why Gloria Steinem got married instead of “shacking up” which she easily could have done?
Tragic.

I don’t think age is the factor (particularly for men) but rather whether he already has children from another previous relationship.
How long has he been married to his wife? If it’s been about 10 years, then they should have had children earlier to say the least. When we talk about society and how people really think at a biological level, it shouldn’t surprise us that a woman would have to have children in a marriage. Should she instead have remained unmarried and had children at 40 as an unwed mother?
In regards to your younger nephew: The woman sounds, from what you said, pretty messed up. She is angry at “all men” but wants one to support her? Being a full time SAH mother is not an entitlement. Not all women got to stay in the concentration camp. Most working class women throughout history have had to work.

I have a vision of retirement i.e., not having to worry about raising children. If your cousin’s wife is rasing a stink tell him to get a vasectomy. She will get the point.
Too many men are ‘victims’ because they refuse to believe that women are as malicious and evil as they.

Which is worse? Having a retirement just as the kids are reaching college/marriage (the latter if they’re girls) OR struggling with childraising issues at the same time struggling with growing up in the 20’s?
Some parents handle this well even in their 20’s and I think they’re amazing. I’m happy I put off having kids until I had matured a bit. I would even say my wife is better off. The gamble for women is that if they wait too long to mature, then it’s too late.

That sentence that begins, “Too many men are ‘victims’”….should be engaved in stone someplace.
The only thing I don’t like about Mr Lincoln was his echoing of the Victorian sentiment about women when he said, “Everything that I am I owe to my angel mother.”
Richard Nixon said his mother was a saint.
American men have been very reluctant to recognize the dark side of women and the feminists have worked like hell too maintain this fantasy.
The evil that women do isn’t the gory in-your-face kind that men do. It is the verbal, emotional, relationship no-finger-print kind that is just as destructive but harder to recognize and treat.
As a female law professor that I was exchanging e-mails with said, “All women are devious”.
She could have added that, “All women feel entitled”.
