No excuse necessary. Reply as it's convenient for you to do so.
So you're blaming me for blaming women and also for using a colloquialism? Lol. There is no possible way that the liberal feminist agenda could have been implemented to the degree that it has in our society, under our form of government, unless a majority bloc of both women and men voters supported it. So, I agree with you.
While I should have said "men and women" instead of "women" went to the polls, it's understood that without the strong support of women we would not be in the situation we find ourselves today as the primary bloc of voters for liberal feminism statistically did come from women with men being split. This, of course, shouldn't come as a surprise as women were the ones benefitting from the legislative and societal changes.
However those benefits are now producing a quantifiable diseconomies of scale for both genders and their children reported in many scholarly studies. But there will be no "manning up" under the lopsided anti-male terms of the present legal marriage contract which denuded the benefits for men while increasing their liabilities over many years and put the divorced male in an almost powerless and very undesirable state to be in.
Now factor in an entire laundry list of lost independence, personal freedom, and privileges a young male forfeits if they do marry and the collapse of stigma that once accompanied singlehood. But keep factoring. The married father has lost tremendous respect in our culture and is and has been the target of ridicule in the liberal media for many years.
For all these reasons and many more, the current trend away from marriage is expected to continue. This is clearly evident in the polling results. For example, Pew Research reports that seventy percent of American males between the ages of 20 and 34 are not married and only half of them state they intend to
ever marry in their lifetimes.
You can't shame a man into a negative legal contract anymore that will materially deprive him of his parental rights, turn him into a human wallet for up to two decades after you divorce him leaving him under the threat of incarceration should he enter the ranks of the poor (loss of job/career, develop health issues, etc...) while you simply move on to the next man (or woman as sometimes occurs).
You can say whatever you want about it but it will change nothing. Most of the next generation of young men have already decided not to accept a lopsided legal contract with few benefits, enormous long-term liabilities, enormous statistical risk, and a negative cultural stigma that views the married man as the butt of liberal media ridicule.
Man up? That's not going to happen. Just the opposite is happening, has been happening for a long time now, and is projected to continue increasing.
So, the question really is how will the voters respond to this and do so in a fiscal environment in which "discretionary government funding" in federal and state budgets is dramatically reduced. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) recently reported this is going to happen for many reasons including the interest payments on the U.S. national debt tripling over the next decade from the more than $400 million paid out in 2014.
It's all going to get very interesting in the next two decades as the feminist child support model liberals implemented over the protests of hardline conservative Christians like myself becomes both impossible to fund through government taxation and spending in the manner which it has been for decades at the same time young men turn away from the life liberal feminists intended them to live.
Please excuse my delay in answering. You posted your comment first so it didn't appear on my notification listing. I'm just now coming across this again.
I believe you are blaming 'women' for what progressive liberals have done. That group is a mixture of both male and female.
But perhaps this is the 'blame game' where Adam tells God that it was the woman he gave who gave him the fruit and he did eat there of?
man up boys
Or could it be that women don't need men to fully survive socially or economically anymore. As you so arrogantly phrased it with 'why buy the cow...?' Which would infer that the woman is a piece of property to be had. Or as if man were the center of all the universe where by woman must identify themselves from him and his foundation for approval or worth.
It's the age old struggle of women to separate themselves from the labels and worn out judgements of men in order to find respect as individuals. The double standards that oppress women need to go down in flames such as - He may have many partners before marriage but if she does then she is consider used goods or even a whore.
Jesus has set us free.
