"The fact is, none of you are happy in the state
you are in. If you were, the tone of this blog would
be different."
The tenor of this blog and others like it is
anger, not unhappiness; there is a difference.
Anger is a valid state of feeling, just like any
other. That which is shown here is the result of moral
outrage and indignation, and like it or not, those are
the things that make for change in an intolerable
situation.
What are we angry about?
Apart from the glaringly obvious paradigms that
are oft cited statistically here, we are angry at the
attempts to change who we are by deploying the same
exact shaming language that has now become the routine
vis a' vis women vs. men. Not one of these whiny
articles about men makes a verifiable mention of what
is truly in it for men in marriage. Not one makes
mention of how marriage will bring life long love to
any man. It's all couched in terms of what women gain
and the fulfillment of their desires. As to the notion
that married men live longer, well I suppose that's
true. Every man here however will likely agree with me
when I say that length of life does not equate to
quality of life. What matters is how one lives their
life, not how long it's lived. Real quality of living
comes from doing what one thinks is right, mistakes
made along the way and all. For myself, living a
married life under the tenor of the same kind of
whining displayed in this article will indeed cause me
to live longer, but ardently wish that I would not.
There is a passage in the bible that states
something akin to it being better to live in the
wilderness than with an angry and contentious woman.
If women want men to get jazzed about being married,
they need to collectively show us that they are not
angry and contentious. It really is as simple as that.
I'm not holding my breath however, as forty years of
such attitudes has become as deeply ingrained as
ground-in soil on a pair of jeans. Nowhere have I seen
anything to indicate that women's attitudes have
shifted at all. Men have had to endure all the shame
and guilt-by-association that has been the rallying
cry of women everywhere with nary a blip on the radar.
We simply withdrew further and further away from you,
to the extent of it being a new norm for men to
emrace.
You have all gotten what you demanded and guilted
and shamed into existence, Woman With An Opinion.
Deploying more feeble attempts at manipulation through
invective against men will avail you little if
anything, except a momentary personal satisfaction
that comes from venting your spleen yet again.
Your bed was made for you to sleep in forty years
ago. It has been all this time, and the turn-down
service was done by Dworkin, Friedan, Faludi, and a
whole host of others. I grant that these are the
radical elements of the hive mind, but it is their
views that are taught in schools, and enacted in
subtle and diluted forms through the law.
Men are angry and likely a bit hurt by all of
this. But, rather than willingly crawl back to you to
stick our heads in the noose again, we are simply
saying "No More". We shall turn our anger and outrage
back towards those that oppose us...and make change.
the first step in any change is refusal to comply with
the demands of the enemy. Such is the marriage strike
today.
You want us to marry again? Show us that it is
worth something to us beyond statistics and studies.
Show us that you are indeed worth marrying.
Again, I do not hold my breath.
Real men will never submit to being led like sheep
to a slaughterhouse ever again.
