The US fertility rate hit a record low in 2017, the divorce rate is at a staggering high of 53%, and less people are getting married then ever before. It must be clear, there is a serious problem with the relationship between men and women. We have grown apart. And it is the rise of the millennial-generation that brings us these alarming numbers. So what's wrong with millennials?
"They are accused of being entitled, narcissistic, self-interested, unfocussed, lazy, but entitled is the big one." These are the words of Simon Sinek, author and motivational speaker who's video went viral when he laid his opinion out on the current state of the millennial-generation. Harsh words.. But ow so true.
The root cause is not the millennials themselves, but the parents that raised them. Being part of the notorious 'Me-generation', a term that was coined due to the self-involved qualities that people associated with it, the baby-boomers were obsessed with self-fulfillment, abandoning all values that their parents held so dear in their hearts: to work hard, save money and not spend it; to cherish family and community ties. Loyalty to institutions, traditional religious faiths, and other common bonds were once considered to be the cultural foundations of the United States.
The Me-generation grew up in the age of hedonism; a school of thought that argues that pleasure and happiness are the primary or most important intrinsic goods and the aim of human life. The Me-generation gave rise to a culture of narcissism, at a time when "self-realization" and "self-fulfillment" were becoming cultural aspirations to which young people supposedly ascribed higher importance than social responsibility. And these are the parents of millennials.
Mix that together with increasing feminism and liberalism, and voilá, there you have it. A generation of spoiled brats, unable to take responsibilty for their life, and too weak to cope with the harshness of life. Where parents let their influence slide to the side, the government and media stepped in. This is what we can call; the age of feminization.
From a young age, men are currently held to the standard of girls. They must sit still in class, and if they can't, the doctor will diagnose them with ADHD, and happily prescripe some drugs to keep the boys in check, keeping a billion dollar pharmaceutical industry going. Education has been adapted to favour girls, with boys now falling behind immensely from elementary school, and men graduating in far lower numbers than women.
The playful and more agressive nature of men is deemed as 'toxic masculinity', a trait now commonly accepted as being the result of social construction, where society must deconstruct boys and men not to be violent, keeping all their sexual manifestations at bay, and make sure they hold the woman to the highest regard. The fathers of sons are absent physically or mentally, abandoning all responsibilities to teach their sons how to be a man. Women try, but fail miserably. That doesn't prevent the media to worship single mothers, although statistics show that there is nothing more destructive than being raised by a single mother.
The millennial-men are rotting away in their parents' basement, playing video games and watching porn. Or obtaining a job, but then leaving their position because of a burn-out, since the stress is too much. Millennial-men are weak, feminized manboys, and it is no wonder why so many have become dependent on opiates, continuing the medical tradition of the young boys with help from their doctor. The majority of men will feel undesired by women, while a small minority can date women like shooting fish in a barrel. Failing in vast numbers, many can't cope with their pointless existence, suiciding en masse, and in the most rare extreme circumstances, taking revenge by shooting up their school or work place. Take masculinity from men, and this is the outcome.
Women now live in the 'Sex and the City' fantasy world, meaning that they see the world through the lens of this abomination of a show. Good looking young professional women, having their materialistic needs covered, getting drunk from time to time, having sex with loads of hot guys. Of course, they finally end up with the unreachable dream man. Once they tame this succesful 'playboy', the unreachable man turns into their aspiring spouse, providing them with the right amount of drama, sex, romanticism, and a shiny diamond ring, in a perfect house with some children on the way.
The reality is somewhat different.. Millennial-girls will sleep around with as many guys as they can from the time they hit puberty. To excuse all risks of having a promiscous lifestyle, they get drunk and and have some cool , goodlooking guy pound them for a while. This makes up for the lack of paternal attention. A lack that has to be fulfilled for the rest of her life, since no man is good enough, and she can always get better. Guys learn quickly, being a nice guy doesn't pay off well!
Having been treated as princesses their whole life, women are the center of the world. Any guy should be happy to be with her. Even if she weighs 300 pounds, she still looks great. We can call this 'body positivity'. Men have always had the opportunity to live promiscuous lifestyles, and now women deserve the same. Don't you dare calling these girls fat or sluts, because therefore you will be guilty of 'fat-shaming' or 'slut-shaming'. These two terms indicate the privileged situation of the modern day woman perfectly.
However, once they hit 30, they become fully aware of hitting the wall; losing their sexual attractiveness. It is then when they turn to dating apps, stating that they are this time 'looking for something serious'. And men are supposed to forget about their hardcore-porn past, taking them in willingly and happily, and meeting all their needs for the rest of their shallow life.
The result is somewhat different. They were always able to get young handsome attractive guys to pay attention to them. But now these guys seem to lose interest when the older girl wants to settle down. The women are left bitter, lonely and depressed. But happily there's a pharmaceutical industry very pleased to provide the desparate 'harpies' with all the pills to numb their pain. But luckily there are always the 'f**kboy', a good-looking 'bad boy', that sooner or later will leave her in return for another, ready to give the girls some temporary pleasure.
The time of settling down is over. Long term relationships have paved the way for a hook-up-culture, where alcohol and casual one night stands have become the norm. Settling down is possible, but women get easily bored with their feminized partners, who are most often too nice, but too agreable. Or they are weak, and prone to be dominated. These weak men eventually provide the women with a feeling of emptiness in the long run. Trying to fill up this hole, they resort to domination fantasies. Cheap literature like "Fifty Shades of Grey" or beastly vampires and werewolves from the series "Twilight" are now rhe ultimate fantasy for women. It is despcicable.. The women nowadays dump their partners like hot coal. But luckily there is always that thirsty, needy manboy, happily awaiting in line to get a shot at being with the 'magical' beings we call women. That is, until the women grow
older.
The women keep thinking they are the stars of the movie that is their life, with loads of validation being received through the fake attention they get from social media. 'Likes' on social media have replaced real-life-interactions, and in combination with the new lifestyle of women nowadays, with the lack of masculinity of men, they can now only be sexually pleased with intoxication and the promiscuous 'f**kboy' that serves the purpose of providing the girl with a temporary feeling of pleasure; hard and without feeling. Romanticism is dead. Chivalry is dead. Instant gratification is all that matters..
Most men don't want to deal with this situation anymore, resorting to porn and prostitution, hoping on a soon arrival of a lifelike sex-doll. More and more men are shying away from relationships, and unfortunately, from society as a whole.
And women? They wonder where all the good-looking, wealthy, athletic, charming, funny, sensitive, protective, smart, succesful, tall, caring, supporting men have gone. Well, they were not waiting around to pick up the scraps. And then the women live happily ever after with their cats, blaiming society on the oppression of women by men. It's all the fault of the patriarch!
Have fun dating in 2018!
