Sometimes it’s useful to remember just what the early second wave feminists were reacting against. Here, from a comic circa 1970 (judging from the clothing) is a sort of double-whammy of misogyny: hide your smarts, girls, or you’ll end up a wizened old maid at the ripe old age of … twenty?
The MRAs today who prattle on about how declining marriage rates mean that men are wising-up to the evils of feminism need to remind themselves that delaying marriage is a good thing for both men and women (the earlier the marriage, the greater the likelihood of divorce; the later the marriage, the more time for men and women to get decent education, start a career, mature a bit, etc etc). In the fifties, obviously, the pressure for women (and to a lesser degree, men) to marry very young was immense. This comic suggests that these pressures didn’t vanish with the coming of the sixties counterculture or even with the first stirrings of second wave feminism.

Silly children with their silly sites that say what they want to hear. So lets do a little math of our own, kinda like independent thinking. I know it’s scary for all you higher acedemia folks but lets give it a whirl.
The things we know for certain are the average of age of a first marriage is up to around 28 to 30 years old. We also know divorce these days runs over 50%. We also know that 60% of second marriages and 73% of third marriages end in divorce. That coincides what that nature thingy I was tellin you ladies about where the more men you sleep with the more likely you are to divorce because a woman will compare all the men she’s been with as if they were one and bitch about how that one man doesn’t possess all the qualities she likes from all the men she’s been with.
Anyway back to that math thingy. We’ll use 100 as our base number. If the average age of 29 is for the first wedded abyss and 50% go caput. We’ll say the happy couple lasted the average of 7 years. That gives us 50 people at 36 years old. Now say in 4 years they get married again well 60% (30) of them now fail. And we’ll say those marriages lasted 5 years so those 30 people are now 41. Again 4 years later they try again and after another 5 years 73% (21.9) fail now aged 50.
So you now see how it is impossible for the numbers given to be correct. Even if a majority of first marriages of younger people end in divorce those marriages would still last around 7 years, putting them in a higher age bracket. As they try again and fail even more frequently, their failed numbers will be added to the first timer married failed numbers thus increasing those numbers.
Someone also said something about marriages with children failing less frequently. Well survey says the #1 answer for men was “for the children” which was given at about twice the rate as women. Men have a lot more to lose, (children, asstes, ect.).
So you see thats the difference between all of you brilliant folks in higher acedemia and me. You unquestioningly accept your indoctrination. You conform to whatever conditioning the indoctrination centers impose. You’re good soldiers of the State, you conform and do as you’re told. They give you a diploma and tell you you now have knowlege. I think independently. I can apply knowlege. I have intelligence while you geniuses are little more than a hard drive of useless knowlege.

Spearhafoc, never read it never saw the movie. Was it that great or something?
Ami Angelwings What the hell does XD mean that you constantly post. Does it mean anything?
Women who have a high number of sexual partners get divorced because the man they’re with can’t measure up to all the dick that came before? Buh? Sure, if you’re completely immature. But I doubt that’s a cause of the majority of divorces, except in SlaveLand.
I’m afraid hellkell thats how it goes. For every man a woman has sex with her ability to form a lasting relationship drops by about 7 or 8%. (note high divorce rate).
Girl who fucky lotsa men sucky at relationships.
Yes, it is great.
All versions but the movie are awesome. The movie has a few good points, like the dolphins’ song at the beginning, but it fails for the most part.
“XD” is an emoticon representing happiness or laughing. Look at it sideways, and it resembles a cartoon face smiling while closing its eyes.
HAHAHAHAHA, oh you are so full shit, but you know that, right?
(combination post! :3 )
I thought you didn’t read a thing I wrote xD How would you know that I keep posting XD xDDDD
Has it occurred to you that us good soldiers of the state (oh btw, since you have your unifying theory of everything, what’s my education history? xD person am I? xD ) like things the way they are? xD That we aren’t puppets as much as we are beneficiaries? All you do is whine but you haven’t said nething about why this is bad xD Just maybe bad for you in some theoretical ideological way… you lose, we win :3 Get over it xD
Unless you’d like to switch playing fields? :3
I’m amused whenever he goes 180 on his tuff talk xDDDD
(turn your head sideways btw.. xD and use a little of that creativity you have.. or do you need even less educated me to explain it to you? xD )
wow… NWO manages the amazing self-refuting put down.
Silly children with their silly sites that say what they want to hear.
Game, set, match. I don’t think any of us can put a more effective nail in his coffin than that.
From his own mouth he is condemned.
@Spearhafoc xD awww cheat sheet! no fair! xD At least we know he’s not an alien from the planet horizontonius now tho 😮
NWO?
Out of curiosity do any of the men in these multiple marriages ever have any effect on the failed outcome, or are they like, statistical poker chips, with no agency of their own, moved around by dint of the women’s various decisions?
@Pecunium if this is tennis I think we’ve gone way past Isner/Mahut at this point w/ him xD
What about men who fuck around a lot before marriage? Wouldn’t they be just as doomed? How could one woman live up to everything that came (or not if he’s an MRA) before?
I have no idea why I’m bothering, really.

My numbers were scary Percunium, I know. You can go back to being told what to think, it’s much safer and comforting.
I know you are but what am I, is how the whole pack of you refute everything. What a joke!
Your best bet now would be either strawman, ad homenim or ask me questions about some totally off topic. Better yet, just gun right for, “I guess it’s ok for men to rape women.”
Run to yet State IC for comfort.
That coincides what that nature thingy I was tellin you ladies about where the more men you sleep with the more likely you are to divorce because a woman will compare all the men she’s been with as if they were one and bitch about how that one man doesn’t possess all the qualities she likes from all the men she’s been with.
Rly? How do you know this? xD How do you know how every woman’s thought process works? o_O Or even like.. 10% Prove to us that 10% of the female US population has a brain that works like this…. that’s… like 15 million ppl? 🙂 Prove to us that 15 individual million female humans in the US think like this 🙂 or 10 million? I’ll take 1 million!
For that matter
whoever’s brain works like this raise your hands now! xD
I love ppl w/ the unifying theory of everything xD
Apropos of nothing: I think the interrobang (‽) is a wonderfully useful bit of punctuation, and I’m sad that it didn’t catch on.
As always, there’s no one better equipped to explain what makes a good heterosexual relationship than men who think girls have cooties. This is starting to remind me of getting marriage advice from the priest before my wedding, but at least he’d read some books about it.
Ami put your hand down!
Well slavey, that’s a very interesting scenario you’ve laid out there. it’s what we here in the reality-based community often refer to as “bullshit.”
@sarahejones: keep fighting the good fight. I literally do not know how people juggle marriage and kids in grad school. Totally mystifies me…and I hear you about the pressure on women to marry at religious institutions. I don’t know if this was your expierence, but one of the worst parts of it for me was that the guys *assume* every woman is desperate and must be husband-hunting and is just hanging around waiting for her M.R.S degree. It really inhibits meaningful communication. The system is stacked against women because you can only fit into the “bitch who hates men” category or the “desperate husband-hunter” category while the guys get to be special snowflakes who can do no wrong and simply need to stand still and watch the world revolve around them. Gotta love that patriarchy in action. Gahhhhh! *Headdesk*
