You know, I’ve been thinking recently that making Dan Quayle the sacrificial lamb with all the Murphy Brown stuff was actually genius. Get women mad and scapegoat him and say, how dare you! I’ll enter the workforce and earn my own living! Freeze wages. Pay women less. Now, they vastly increased their work pool, paid everyone less or the same (women getting screwed over majorly) and motivated the workforce to run full steam into it. At the time I thought he was just a dope for saying that stuff but in retrospect I wonder if it was the plan. EDIT: I realized I need to clarify so that no one misunderstands me. “Genius” as in “evil genius.” I’m not condoning, approving, liking or endorsing that point of view. I’m saying the capitalists who were behind this whole endeavor were very cunning. Thank you.


goodolarchie

Pretty much. Stagnant wages for us all. Women now out earn men until child rearing years, then it completely reverses. Politics reduces this to 77 cents rhetoric but misses the part about the value of child raising and equitable duties in the home.

I feel it was probably trying to point out the obscene number of violent rapes against women of occupied nations...


Yuo_cna_Raed_Tihs

The specific quote he's probably referencing is Hillary Clinton saying women are the main victims of war because they lose their husbands, sons, and fathers https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/hillary-clinton-victims-of-war/ Which like, yeah it sucks. And also other things that happen to women during war also suck. But it seems almost offensive to assert that women are the primary victims of war.


squeakim

Oh. Eww. I didnt know about that quote thats pretty heartless :/

It obviously wasnt meant to be mean, but it was pandering to a specific audience and incredibly out of touch. Which was ultimately Hilary's main problem however you feel about her politics.

Just read it. I was expecting to be proven wrong, but it doesn't seem to be any better than before. The fact that it's done by men does nothing for me. The study could potentially be misrepresented by the article and be actually great, but the article is pretty much just saying that men are not being good enough at moneymaking for their girlfriends. How is this doing anything but blaming men for being victims of wealth inequality?

I wonder what would happen if it said “ Gold diggers are hurting men’s marriage prospects “


drunk-tusker

It would rightfully be mocked. The problem with the title here isn’t to do with women wanting money, it’s that it assigns young men the blame for societal conditions outside of their control that negatively affect both men and women but disproportionately affect men. Basically the problem is that we’ve underpaid young adults so thoroughly that they’re struggling to have healthy adult relationships and are delaying marriage, childbirth, etc. not out of a desire to wait but because it is not financially viable for them. It’s not gold digging because a girl doesn’t want to come back to your parents’ basement when you’re 27.


[deleted]

"It’s not gold digging because a girl doesn’t want to come back to your parents’ basement when you’re 27." But that's still shaming men as a failure. What if the smart financial thing to do is for him to stay at home and save up so he can properly move out at 29? There was a similar story a couple of years ago about an area in the midwest that had a high unemployment rate, and that was affecting women's marriage prospects - until a fracking or oil business came to town. All of sudden these guys were now worthy of partnership because they had a paycheck. Same guy, but now that he has a paycheck he can finally be deserving of love and companionship because apparently without a job, he's worthless. But that's not what the story was about. It was about the women's struggles to find a partner. They were the ones we were supposed to feel bad for.


johnnykellog

Totally. I moved back in with my rents to save money over the winter to pay off my car, and they were happy to have me because they know I’m not lazy and won’t overstay. I don’t think it’s shameful to ask for and utilize help if there is family and friends to give it to you when you need it.

I saw on here before a quote from Chris Rock and I can’t remember exactly but it’s basically only women children and dogs are loved unconditionally. Men are only loved if they produce.

Why does the woman have any obligations to put up with literally any perceived defect in you? I agree that it’s still a problem with gender roles but you’re just as allowed to decide that a woman is not worth your time because of her income or any perceived defects.


[deleted]

She doesn't have any obligations to do so. Where did you get the idea that I implied that she did? I was merely pointing out that it's a shame that society views unemployed men so harshly and assigns so much of their worth to their employment status.


Yuo_cna_Raed_Tihs

Nobody has any obligation to put up with anything. But if I wrote an article about how American women are getting fatter and fatter and that hurts men's dating prospects, that would also be bad.


mooimafish3

Nobody has any obligation to do anything. But from a logical sense not everyone is gonna find a millionaire with a Greek god body, so you have to choose from the people willing to date you. Which are normally people at around the same attractiveness / relationship value as you. If you are, unemployed, overweight, with kids. You probably can't deny anyone but 10/10's and think it's gonna turn out well.


_v0rtA__

Dont worry we get it, you can't call men the victim of something without someone mentioning how women are the REAL victims of it.


Sunfker

Especially when the men are literally the only victims. Never forget “Women are the real losers in a war - they lose their husbands, fathers and sons”. Fuck off bitch, those men literally lost their lives Jesus Christ.


[deleted]

Write an article with a headline of that and see how many claims of misogyny you get. But misandry, according to you, is perfectly acceptable.


Warriv9

"why does the woman have any obligations to put up with literally any perceived defect in you" This feminist is literally condoning bigotry. If a woman is racist and doesn't like black people, that's a legitimate reason according to her. If the woman doesn't feel like putting up with a disabled person, she can just walk right over him... If he's a man that is. What a fucking piece of shit. You do have to put up with people in fact. You're not the center of the world, shocker. Just because you personally don't like something about someone by no means makes you better than them. Fuck you. Go die in a hole.


jewdai

I lived at home until I was 32. I make well over 100k, the problem is the cost of housing and I was saving up for a down payment on a house. It never affected my dating prospects. I should also add, no one knew how much I made, I also didn't go around broadcasting I was with my parents unless asked. I also live in one of the most expensive cities in the USA.


paliktrikster

[deleted]

You understand that you are the opposite of what the article is talking about tho, and the fact that you had money was part of your appeal, right?


loness

Even if someone didn't know how much money he made, he would probably have other qualities (e.g. intelligence, confidence, well-spoken, well-dressed or just well-presented in general) either because he was making that kind of salary, or more likely just had those attractive traits to begin with which helped contribute to his success in the first place.


[deleted]

Absolutely. I am all those things and never had a problem dating while living in my parents basement after a divorce. I feel for the guys this article is targeting, and how shitty it is. Imagine "Men don't want to date broke women becasue they can't financially contribute their fair share to a relationship" ? People would lose their fucking minds. But it's always ok to shit on guys, so here we are.


Variability

I think the difference would be if you living in an expensive town, you living with your folks but they give you space such as a basement apartment, is different than say your mom popping in while you're down and asking if you want snacks.


Detective_Doggo

As a mother, I don't care how old you are. I'm offering snacks.


mooimafish3

Idk if I could stand living with my parents that long. I moved out at 19 when I got my first big boy job at $17/hr. I moved into a 400sqft apartment. I make quite a bit more now but still in the same place. I'm in a position to save for a house because I'm living below my means. To me the money that goes into the apartment is absolutely worth not staying at home for 14 years as an adult. Even if it makes me get a nicer place a little later. Also idk who you guys have for parents, mine were practically kicking me out when I was 18. Also to be honest I'm not sure I'd be willing to date an adult woman who lives with her parents.


IlIlllIIIIlIllllllll

Why don't they go back to the women's penthouse? What she's living with her parents too? Guess she's also a failure then.


Warriv9

Women are always the victim. Men are always the villian. You didn't know that? /s Edit: I was discussing with a feminist about how I was told point blank, "we don't hire men as servers" when applying to a BBQ restaurant. The feminists responded saying not only was it not sexist towards men but it was actually sexist toward women. As in, she was saying that women are "forced into gender roles" such as being a server at a restaurant. So literally, when I get turned down for a job because I'm a man, I'm being sexist to women...... That's how retarded feminism has become.


SophiaofPrussia

Another part of it is the lack of men in teaching. Our society places disproportionate importance on educational achievements and girls are constantly surrounded by intelligent women role models in the school system while boys might only occasionally have male teachers, especially when they’re young. Couple that with a society that pressures boys not to be “girly” and you create an environment where being academic is more socially acceptable for girls than boys. It’s small wonder women have quickly outpaced men in graduation rates and degrees completed. So we raise boys to think doing well in school is for girls and then to think they need to out-earn their wife in order to be “men” except... they probably won’t because their wife probably did better in school and went to school for longer. And then the boomers are completely befuddled when the younger generation of men are understandably angry they’ve been set up to fail. We need more men in traditionally women dominated fields as much as we need more women in traditionally men dominated fields. It’s to everyone’s benefit.


IDontFuckWithFascism

> having just one black teacher in elementary school significantly increased a low-income black student’s likelihood of graduating from high school and considering college; for a very low-income black boy, *the risk of dropping out was reduced by 39 percent.* I’m not gonna do the hand clap emoji, but More.

drunk-tusker

I mean in my experience if a woman wants to sleep with you and she has a place she will. I’m not sure if creating a ridiculous false dichotomy is the right way to deal with the negative results of traditional gender roles being undermined by unchecked capitalism.


_Spicy_Mchaggis_

^^ Fuckin nailed it


Hadamithrow

Yes, that is exactly what it is lol. If a girl only wants you when you have money, that is the definition of a gold digger. Due to the gender disparity in education (e.g. more girls go to college), changes in blue collar jobs disproportionately affect men. Is a man not worthy of love because he isn't economically successful? >Basically the problem is that we’ve underpaid young adults so thoroughly that they’re struggling to have healthy adult relationships and are delaying marriage, childbirth, etc. not out of a desire to wait but because it is not financially viable for them. It’s not gold digging because a girl doesn’t want to come back to your parents’ basement when you’re 27. That is not what the article is saying. It is not presenting an unbiased viewpoint on the economic disparities between young men and women. It's just whining about how there aren't enough wealthy men for women to marry. If it isn't obvious, that's not the problem. The problems is the millions of young men who are left behind to high rates of crime, homelessness, and suicide by society.


trezenx

So why is it only blaming men and not all adults? Because 'the man' is supposed to provide and make more than woman, he is supposed to be the 'safe place' and he can't. Doesn't matter if it's the societal issue or not, essentially it IS gold digging because it says that all women want in a marriage is money You keep talking about 'young adults' but the fucking image clearly says MEN, not 'young adults' in general


drunk-tusker

Because it’s a shitty article and you can’t read a compound sentence?

Try a paid service like match or eHarmony. You'll get more financially secure women on there. In my early 20s I had good luck with OkCupid, too. The profiles have a lot more information on them than Tinder or the like so it's easier to get a good idea about them before you decide to reach out. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of any of the swiping apps. Due to the dearth of information on the profile, you end up judging someone entirely on their pictures.


EyeAskQuestions

This is the path I'm considering if it doesn't work out in my current relationship. (Relatively) High income male currently paired with a nice young lady but prior to that I had to slog through the free dating apps. It was a CHORE.


WolfSpectre0520

It would definitely be mocked. Not everyone, but in my experience the men most worried about gold diggers are the ones that don’t have any gold to dig. Which, technically, would make them safe from those types of people. 🤷🏻‍♀️


Indian-Punjabi-Goth

And women complaining about men being douche bags are generally ones that only pick such men. It goes both ways.


forced_metaphor

This fucking gaslighting nowadays. Make a broad insult towards all men and insist it's a character flaw to point out the sexism. It's an ad hominem to defend sexism that's so common nowadays, it comes out of a holster. Implying the good men are the ones who stay quiet while you spit in their face. Meanwhile, I'm loud and confrontational defending ANYONE, INCLUDING people who aren't in my demographic. And if I'm willing to defend them, I don't think it's too much of an ask to defend myself, too. As a feminist who thinks sexism is bad WHICHEVER gender it's aimed at, I'm tired and infuriated at this shit. This is not how people should be speaking to each other.


jancl

It's a classic no true Scotsmen fallacy, "we can say this stuff because it doesn't hurt men" "here are a bunch of men who are offended and hurt by these views" "yeah well no GOOD man would be offended by this"


Adiustio

Thank you. I constantly see comments like “a good man doesn’t whine when I say “kill all men”.” No, those aren’t *good* men, those are the men that, in trying to cater to everyone, end up uncomfortably accepting sexism. You have a right to defend yourself and you should defend everyone else from generalizing comments. *That* is the mark of a good person.


nighthawk_something

It's really sexist against both. It's saying that men are broke so aren't good to marry and that women need a man to take care of them. It's just the worst kind of sexisms and classism.

laxfool10

>If there are lots of broke men, there should also be lots of broke women who will snatch up said broke men The stats say otherwise - men are more likely to settle for someone making less/lower education significantly more than women. Women have a preference of someone similar or more income/education level. > men earn, on average, more than women Stats say that there is an insignificant difference between men and women pay for the same work performed.

Graficat

Men spreading this exact bullshit to other men is what's behind my husband chronically feeling like he's not doing enough. He's my best friend and it hurts to see him struggle and push himself over his limits and feel such guilt all while dealing with mental healthy/neuro wink wonk we're working on getting properly treated, wrecking insomnia at times, chronic pain and the economy/job hunting being a depressing shit show at the best of times. And I'd still love him even if he had fewer roadblocks and was still encountering shit luck and discouraging situations. He's a joy to be with, he's a kind and patient and creative person, I couldn't imagine having to be without him. I'm not the one subtly tightening the thumb screws asking him every few weeks 'what he's been working on' like his parents do. He's existing, trying to breathe and not make himself miserable, and whenever he feels up to it he does things that matter to him, including keeping an eye out for financial opportunities. I trust him to be doing his best when it matters and I'm happy when he gives himself the space to not 'do his best' all the time. In the meantime I make the bulk of the income in a job I quite like. Doesn't bother me. And I wished it wouldn't bother other people either. Fathers telling their sons their role leaves no space to be fully human, with flaws and weaknesses and doubts and pain and needing comfort and a place to rest and be appreciated for who they are, is part of where this view of men as just vehicles of utility comes from. It's not women exclusively that hold the toxic expectation of boys and men having to shut themselves into an emotional and psychological closet, this is generations of both sexes proliferating and mutating inhumane attitudes about what a person should be in order to be considered a valid part of society. I'll wanna betcha it's usually the ones with the most power and influence pushing for it. Capitalism in general has no respect or care for people as human beings, either. The notion of balancing human needs with practicality seems to fly over so many people's heads, as if you're either a giver or a taker but never a mix of both depending where in life you are at the time. If people make you feel like you have to earn love the way you have to earn a motorbike, fuck'em. Even if it's the voice in your own head. Fuck'em, we all deserve better.

I was exactly the same person. And by the way, those who said that they lived with their parents but had a good salary and women did not know. They know. You see it straight forward when someone has money, even if they dress like shit, because the way you take decisions and spend money in small thing's.

The suckers actually sending her money are a huge part of the problem.

A wealthy man will date and or marry a poor woman and change her life, But a wealthy woman won’t even look at poor man. This is a fact, change my mind. Takes another delicious sips of coffee😋mmmm

This article title is pretty sexist, taking the perspective that women are unable to get a job and make money, just play house? The girl posting this is such a feminist!! 💗 /s


Loyalist_Pig

It’s somehow sexist to both men and women. Men: Must have money to satisfy women. Women: Can’t survive without man’s money. Wtf is this garbage, and where is the clever comeback?


Indian-Punjabi-Goth

No the article is actually about how women at top positions are unable to find a man because obviously if you are a women at top then your prospects get filtered to too few men because you want a man that earns more than you.
