267 - Marriage Strike

Hey Sandman, I think my journey to becoming a MGTOW began a couple of years after my divorce was final. At the time I didn’t know about the MGTOW movement, but had already given up on the idea of traditional marriage. I had been treated so poorly by my ex-wife both during and after my marriage, and was treated so unfairly by the divorce court system, that I decide that marriage was NOT for me. It was just too risky for my emotional, physical, spiritual, and financial health. In a sense it is too late for me, but listening and reading MGTOW content has answered A LOT of lingering questions I had about the "whys and Hows" of my painful experiences with women. I thought I was alone in my adverse view of marriage until I heard about the "Marriage Strike." It was surprising to hear the stories of SO many other men who have also have been put through the meat grinder of marriage, divorce, and “family” court. I think that the younger generation of men are more emotionally aware and confident- much less susceptible to the shaming tactics many of us older guys fell victim too. As a result, you see young men today ditching marriage and the "American Dream " in droves. Here's a quote from Dr. Helen Smith's book "Men on Strike" - “It’s no wonder that fewer and fewer men are getting married now than in the past. Kay Hymowitz states in her book, Manning Up, that “in 1970, 80 percent of 25-to 29-year-old men were married; in 2007, only about 40 percent of them were. In 1970, 85 percent of 30- to 34-year-old men were married; in 2007, only 60 percent of them were.” After reading that here's my question: Do you think this Marriage Strike will continue for much longer? If so, what would say the most significant social and economic impacts to western society would be if this trend continues? Well, thanks for your comments and questions Soul Journer.Sexodus pt 2.
