Yeah, there were some things in CHIEF's post that made me raise my eyebrows in a not-so-great way. The women being "way out of touch with reality" concept is funny to me, because historically to the point that it's been a punchline of hundreds of jokes, just on this website, every week, it's old people. Old people are out of touch with reality. And not only that, most of them are aggressively wired to attempt to make their own reality all they see. And that's not a dig, that's literally just a fact of life. The older you get, the more entrenched you become in your ideas as well as your life...your routine, who you see, what you do, how you feel, etc. You're not out learning new things, changing with the times, etc. That's literally the normal life cycle.
The problem these days, is things are changing so fast that not only old people can't handle it, but older middle age people can't handle it. It took human beings thousands of years to go from hunting, to farming, to the Renaissance. Now in the past 100 years women can vote, black people have equal rights, religion is in decline, some kids pick their own gender, the Internet exists, etc. It's overwhelming. And unfortunately this helps unlock the rage and hatred in human being hearts, and shit spirals from there.
I have my own pet theory as to one of the reasons why education is suffering in this country...outside of all the obvious reasons. One is because there's no longer a massive, massive fucking talent pool of intelligent women, wildly intelligent women, who were basically given the choice of being a teacher, stewardess, secretary, or nurse as their careers. Now they have equality and are getting high paying jobs, C-suit level gigs, attorneys, lawyers, and lots of men fucking hate that. Because it makes their own success more difficult, and removes a hierarchy that they relied upon for their own self esteem. And you have assholes like Passport Bro who just call American women entitled, for having the audacity to seek a partner who is educated, who they're attracted to, who isn't a chauvinist pig who's masculinity isn't imperiled because they have to cook some meals and do household chores and shit that forever was labeled as "women's work." Basically, they're pissed that women want the same shit they've been demanding of women for the history of fucking time. Well, maybe not the intelligent part. There's a huge segment of dumb men that want women dumber than them so they aren't challenged. Again, massive insecurity issues. But I digress.
Anyway, older folks looking to cling to their worldview will will say "Oh, well, the problem is there aren't a lot of women who want to embrace traditional values and lifestyles, etc." Which is bullshit. What I read that as is "Society has changed, and I'm not capable of changing with it, so I'm going to bail and try to find women from 3rd world shitholes who won't challenge me and will just be grateful to be here" because they're lazy, selfish pussies. And of course now Passport Bro above now expects her to have a fucking job and go dutch on everything. It's sad.
I remember how fucking miserable I was in stretches of my 20s and early 30's because I was alone, or because the relationships I were in never felt like the right fit. It fucking sucked. But I had two choices: Either cave on my expectations, or stick it out. I stuck it out, and I finally met someone who checked all the boxes. And you know what, enough dumb motherfucking assholes out there had burned her enough that apparently she was willing to settle for my fucking stupid ass. And unless she's lying to me, we're pretty happy. And you know what, my life is better having a partner. Like a fucking lot. But it took time, work, and patience. And it still takes time, work, and patience. But what assholes like those shits want isn't a fucking partner, they want, as another poster posted, an indentured servant they can fuck. Don't tell me it's about values, or Christ, or whatever, because there's plenty religious nutjobs out there looking to be a housewife. But you know what, they probably are going to insist their partner, I don't know, also has a fucking good job, can provide for the family, isn't a shitbag, etc. To me it all comes down to a bunch of lazy fucking men, who won't look in a mirror, and blame everything on everyone else because they won't adjust.
/rant.
If you made it this far, sadly, you get nothing. But thanks for reading. And also, don't take my rant to mean that women aren't all kinds of fucked up, and their standards aren't often complete shit, and their taste in men is often poor AF. After all, jokes about women chasing bad boys has also been a punchline for hundreds of years. But that's a completely different post. Plenty of shit to blame with women, social media culture, etc. But, news at 6, humans in general are stupid and fucked up, and there's more than enough blame to go around.
