The truth is, men & women don’t really like each other very much, and whatever testosterone does to make a man protective and desiring to serve his family, puts him at the mercy of a woman who would exploit those attributes. Women have 3 powers: sexual, victimhood & chivalry; which makes them invincible. Throughout history, they have used these weaknesses of men to control them. The world isn’t a patriarchy run by men so much as a patriarchy run by women. Unfortunately, more and more women are exploiting men at the expense of marriage. The simple fact is, men are in love and women are in business. Like a business, they’ll stay in their job if the cost of leaving is greater than the value of staying, but if a tempting offer comes along, they’ll take it. A man will sacrifice himself for his family but a woman will sacrifice her family for herself.
The second most important piece of marriage advice is for women to be subservient to your husband. This demand is universally condemned among feminists but that’s at the expense of a happy marriage. A women should never put a career or her own wants over the needs of her husband, and certainly not her family. A woman like that probably shouldn’t even get married. There’s a clever rhyme that exemplifies this requirement: If you can’t be corrected, you can’t be directed, and if you can’t be directed, you can’t be protected, and if you can’t be protected, you can’t be respected. And if you can’t be respected, you can’t be selected. Men need relief from this in the form of changes in the law and societal expectations. The solution to divorce is men’s liberation.
