Marriage rates have gone down 50% since 1970 in the United States. Traditionally, it is men who ask women to marry them, not the other way around. Put the two of these facts together and you have a culture of American men who are just not asking women to marry them.
Here is an article from iVillage.com called "Do guys hate when we talk about marriage?" It is filled with the standard women's magazine attitude that men's lack of commitment is their fault due to being inferior to women, or insecure in some way. Indeed, it is men who are answering the questions in the articles, but are they going to publish responses from men who give reasons women won't like? No. They would be more likely to publish the comments from the men that put women up on a pedestal and make them feel superior. I once read a Cosmo article that said something along the lines of how men stay little boys long after they are grown up, and that is why they are insecure and have trouble committing.
Do an experiment. Ask any woman why she thinks men avoid long relationships and marriage. I'm sure anything they say will make it sound like it is men's fault and how they are in some way all damaged.
Lets face it, long-term commitment often spells marriage. Marriage leads to kids. Men do avoid these things, but there are real reasons other than the ones given by the usual female "experts". Many answers can be found in the way the U.S. legal system treats men differently compared to women in the areas of divorce, child custody and child support. Most marriages end in divorce and women can gain from these split-ups because of a deeply rooted anti-male bias in family court caused by feminist influence. Men almost automatically lose out. The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) is another reason, not because men would prefer to hit their partners, but because it legally sanctions female to male intimate partner violence by not protecting men and only protecting women.
It may be hard for men to notice, but fathers get a bad reputation just for being fathers. There is certain degradation in popular culture and society that dads have to put up with which mother's, usually viewed as the superior parent automatically, would never tolerate. Watch an episode of "Everybody Loves Raymond". His wife raises her voice to him, demasculates him, sexually humiliates him and insults his manhood. Listen carefully to every self-righteous, manipulative or sexist thing she says and think to yourself how the show would look if Raymond was the one saying the lines to his wife. Wouldn't it be domestic abuse? Would feminists and a lot of women think that is an acceptable way to portray a wife as a simple-minded mental punching-bag? Speaking of simple-minded, why are so many TV fathers and husbands portrayed as complete jack-asses? The Simpsons and Family guy are two of the funniest shows on TV, but the anti-father bias is flamboyantly blatant.
You might wonder where this bias comes from. In my opinion, it stems from the anti-male bias in family law. That particular aspect of the legal system has been heavily influenced by women's activist groups to the point where it is a kangaroo court. 90% of custody battles sway in favor of mom. Why? because feminists spread false statistics about men and manipulate the legal system to work in their favor. When they're finished, they still claim that men discriminate against them.
Dr. Linda Nielsen is Professor of Adolescent Psychology & Women's Studies at Wake Forest. She has written a paper based on different books on divorced fathers which compiles all of the data in a paper called "Disenfranchising, Demeaning, and Demoralizing Divorced Dads : A Review of the literature". You can view it in PDF format here. Here are some interesting stats that she has compiled, along with a number of references and resources, quoted from her paper where she debunks many myths:
Contrary to the popular image of "deadbeat dads", 75% of divorced fathers are fully meeting their financial obligations to their children. Four million fathers are paying 12 billion dollars a year in child support. Moreover, those divorced men with the highest incomes are usually paying for most, if not all, of their children’s expenses - especially when the mother did not work full time outside the home throughout their marriage (Artlip, Artlip, & Saltzman. 1993; Farrell. 1994; Hetherington & Stanley-Hagan. 1997; Sheehy. 1998). And when the mother grants the father some voice in how his child support money is being spent, the father rarely fails to pay and often pays more than is legally required of him (Arditti. 1992; Bender & Brannon. 1994; Depner & Bray. 1993; Blau. 1994; Dudley. 1991; Kelley. 1995; Maccoby & Mnookin. 1994; Mandell. 1995; Parke. 1996; Pasley, Ihinger-Tallman, & Lofquist. 1994; Seltzer & Brandreth. 1994; Teachman. 1991)
Here is another excerpt from the paper which explains the emotional impact on divorced men and how they can suffer at least as much, possibly even more, than a divorced woman:
A number of us - including the millions of children whose parents are divorced - also do not seem to understand that fathers suffer as much or more emotionally as mothers after a divorce. Indeed it seems as if people more readily envision the divorced father as a carefree “swinging bachelor” rather than as a depressed, lonely, disoriented human being. Many children, therefore, might be surprised to learn that men are more likely than women to become depressed, commit suicide, or develop a stress-related illness after their divorce. Most divorced fathers are extremely lonely, overwrought, and disoriented - mainly because they have lost daily contact with their children. Unlike mothers, almost all fathers are essentially rendered childless as soon as their marriage ends. In part because men are so reluctant to let people know how miserably unhappy and depressed they are or to ask for help, many people including their own children - do not appreciate the extent to which most men suffer after a divorce (Beer. 1992; Bender & Brannon. 1994; Buehler & Ryan. 1994; Depner & Bray. 1993; Flynn & Hutchinson. 1993; Kitson & Holmes. 1992; Kruk. 1991; Pledge. 1992; Pruett. 1992; Warshak. 1992).
Is it interesting how divorced fathers are more likely to commit suicide than divorced mothers? According to maledeperession.org men are far more likely than women to suffer from depression and commit suicide in general.
Even more shocking is how women can abuse the one-sidedness of the family law system to commit what many people are now calling paternity fraud. Paternity fraud comes in different forms. One example is women who plan to become pregnant with the intent of turning the child into an 18-year meal ticket by taking advantage of the child-support system. Like Dr. Neilson says, men automatically lose out after a divorce. Another example is men paying for kids who are not even theirs because of lack of requirements for DNA tests. In most U.S. states men have a limited window of time, if any at all, to use DNA to prove they are not the father. This has lead to men paying child-support for kids who do not belong to them. Here is an example of a man who had a vasectomy, just for his girlfriend to become pregnant from another man and lie and say the baby is his. There is also the case of the Florida man who owes $10,000 for a child who is not his. That is not the only case of its kind, many men are stuck in debtor's prison. Here are several more examples of paternity fraud. Finally, here is a transcript of Judge Judy discussing paternity fraud on Larry King.
Men are vilified by all the femstats "proving" we're bad, which are then used to influence standards which punish all fathers just for being fathers. In addition, women insist on equal pay, but ex-husbands still pay most alimony despite gender-neutral alimony laws. In an article called When ex-husbands get alimony (MSN Money Central) it seems the woman who wrote the article actually has the idea that a woman who has to pay is a victim! She quoted one ex-wife as saying "My feeling was that I worked hard while he was trying to figure out a career," Williams says. "I was penalized for that during the marriage and then after it ended." Why is she complaining when millions of men go through this? Is she not able to handle gender-neutral laws? Would she be happy if only men paid alimony?
To re-cap what fathers face:
1) Having 0 reproductive rights
2) Paying for women to have 100% of those rights
3) Women having 100% rights with their bodies, and to decide if a man becomes a father, but only 50% of the responsibility after the birth.
They want to have their cake and eat it, too, while husbands and fathers pay for it and are constantly degraded on TV, in the legal system and women's speech.

A huge industry has developed that is making incredible amounts of money from the misery divorce inflicts on its victims. Judges, lawyers, counselors, child support enforcement employees, to name just a few, are making their livings (and often very good livings) by "working the system". Even state governments are receiving dollars from the federal government for collecting more and more child support from the NCP's. It is easy to see that if the number of divorces ever drops there will be many that will have to turn elsewhere for their livelihood.
These industries do what ever is needed to perpetuate and insure continued growth (they don't care about anything but the money). In the case of the "Divorce Industry" this has been accomplished by providing one class of person with a distinct advantage in the litigation.
Women and mothers are led to believe that they can rely on the fact that they will almost always receive custody of their minor children and support from the husband and father. (There are exceptions, the courts can't be too obvious.)
This is why women file about 80% of divorces. Most men don't file for divorce because they don't want to risk losing their children. If women stood the same chance of losing their children as a man, does anyone really think that there would be anywhere near the same number of divorces? I don't think so!
Even lawyers who claim to represent the man are aware of how the system works. This is why so many lawyers will tell the man one thing, all the time knowing that the results will be different. Don't get me wrong, there are good lawyers out there (I'm still looking for one), but too many will claim to represent the man while, in actuality, working to perpetuate the system. In other words, many lawyers may represent the man but don't really want him to win. But they still expect to be paid for helping him lose. Too many fathers winning custody would cause mothers to think twice about filing for divorce, and the number of divorces to drop.
Is there an answer? Sure there is. Make men and women responsible for the covenants they make at the time they marry. Since filing for divorce is itself a violation of the marriage covenant (till death do us part), the courts should adopt the attitude that the defendant, man or woman, will be held harmless until the plaintiff provides enough valid evidence to prove that the defendant has injured the marriage beyond repair, or is not fit to be a parent. Holding the defendant harmless means that the defendant will be awarded custody of the minor children and the assets of the marriage unless there is evidence that the court should rule otherwise. If one person gets bored with the other and wants out - let him/her go. But don't allow one parent to interfere with the child's relationship with the other parent for his/her own selfish reasons.
Many are going to disagree with this idea, but I am not trying to make divorce fairer. That will NEVER happen. Children need and deserve to live with two loving parents who respect their marriage vows, not with one parent while seeing the other parent on some kind of court ordered schedule. If the courts were really concerned about the "best interests of the child", they would try to discourage divorce. If divorce can not be avoided, the courts should find out why and use that as a MAJOR part of the decision about child custody.
If one parent has a "change of heart" or no longer loves the other or no longer wants the other around, that should be the parent to leave. They would be interfering with their own relationship with the children, not that of the other parent.

I think you should extract the stereotypes from your article if you want to convince anyone but the people who already agree with you. One example is "Ask any woman why she thinks men avoid long relationships and marriage. I'm sure anything they say will make it sound like it is men's fault and how they are in some way all damaged." This sexist assumption doesn't contribute anything to the argument. Women do not all think alike, just like men do not all think alike. And not all women read those so-called "women's" magazines.
Your criticism of the woman who complained about having to pay alimony doesn't help, either. Maybe that woman doesn't think that anyone should pay alimony. You're assuming she's sexist.
This battle will never be won if men try to demonize all women as sexist. You're right to criticize sexism against men, but if you don't also control your sexist generalizations about women, then you're revealing a deficiency of intellect that will get you nowhere.

Women have made all sorts of sexist generalizations about MEN that never get challenged in the mainstream meadia. Furthermore, your off-the-wall assertion that the woman's complaint about paying alimony has nothing to do with the fact that she is paying it to a man, is as bogus as a $17 bill.
The bottom line is this: more and more men are starting to realize (as a result of seeing what's happened to their male friends, and through information like we're getting here) that there is nothing positive in marriage for the vast majority of men in America. Marriage (and children) for a man is Russian roulette with 3 bullets. If he cheats on her, he loses. If she cheats on him, he still loses. I think I'll keep my money for myself!

Right on. Just watch MSNBC or CNN, which are not bad news stations per se, but listen very carefully for gender-related comments. The female anchors will say all kinds of ridiculous things about men and even giggle about it like children. The male anchors are very politically correct and even take on feminist issues in their reports. You wouldn't catch them saying nearly the same things about men that Dr. Nancy Snyderman, Tamron Hall, Contessa Brewer or others say when they joke about men. It's especially insulting when Dr. Nancy does a piece on men's health which should be taken seriously, but has to end it with playing the "Macho Man" song or saying men don't pick up our dirty towels. Comments like that have nothing to do with being an objective physician and neither does her connection to iVillage. She doesn't joke like that when she does pieces about gender-specific health issues for women.
Regarding your comments about marriage, there really is nothing in it for men. Women posting their 2 cents on this site doesn't change that fact, either. All comments are welcome, but no amount of negative comments about me or this site changes that.

Have you tried the experiment? The results came back conclusive for me - certain things that made it appear to be some sort of problem with the man - Fear of commitment aka The man is afraid. Attachment issues - aka not mentally capable. The lest goes on...
If you had read the article about the women not paying alimony you would realize she was insinuating that on account of all the "time" she had contributed to the family HE should be paying HER!

"I think you should extract the stereotypes from your article if you want to convince anyone but the people who already agree with you."
No one is being stereotyped. This web site is against stereotypes.
"One example is "Ask any woman why she thinks men avoid long relationships and marriage. I'm sure anything they say will make it sound like it is men's fault and how they are in some way all damaged." This sexist assumption doesn't contribute anything to the argument. Women do not all think alike, just like men do not all think alike. And not all women read those so-called "women's" magazines."
I've certainly asked women who I know and am friends with (24 to 28 age rage). Their responses are usually based around the idea that men are born with some kind of commitment-phobia and all they want is sex. It isn't a big shock that they wont blame the behavior of some women or other influences in society. Cosmo Magazine does enable a sense of entitlement. I've seen this magazine on the coffee tables of many women who I know. Not everyone reads it, but it's definitely around quite a bit and I don't like what it says. Legal double-standards are enough of a real detraction from marriage but I'm hard pressed to hear women come out and admit that. Some have, but not many. I never implied all women think alike or read certain magazines, but a lot of women in the age range I mentioned do. It's trendy.
"Your criticism of the woman who complained about having to pay alimony doesn't help, either. Maybe that woman doesn't think that anyone should pay alimony. You're assuming she's sexist."
I didn't assume she was sexist, I asked hypothetically if she would rather men pay alimony only. I was also pointing out that if alimony laws are gender neutral, and women want to be equal, then why complain in a women's magazine about being held equally accountable under the law? Men get the "less of a man" stereotype from (many, but not all) women when they don't pay alimony.
"This battle will never be won if men try to demonize all women as sexist. You're right to criticize sexism against men, but if you don't also control your sexist generalizations about women, then you're revealing a deficiency of intellect that will get you nowhere."
Again, I'm not demonizing women as sexist. Such little awarenesss has been raised about the issue of anti-maleness that a lot has come out at once on this site and it might seem like a giant cluster of accusations. In fact, it is, but women are behind men in accountability.
Also, post here as much as you wish, but please watch your insults. It seems your only argument is that I'm generalizing women (which I'm not). You can throw around insults like "deficiency of intellect" as much as you like, but that will get you nowhere.

Speaking as a woman (don't throw anything) I would agree with the original comment that you're demonizing women and using stereotypes- but hear me out.
With any good debate you want to be taken seriously. This article does bring up some very good points, but the parts about women all assuming men are commitmentphobes, doing 'experiments' to prove it like some 8 year old trying to prove girls have cooties, I as a woman have a hard time sympathizing with you as the writer because you are basically making assumptions about me while also trying to change my opinion- but you've already assumed what I will think, and this makes me kind of not like you or want to listen to you. Even in this comment you say you did the experiment with women 24-28 (which by the way is not much of an age range in my opinion and really can't encapsulate the entirety of women everywhere like your assumptions do) and say that you see cosmo everywhere.
Sure, some women are terrible, terrible bitches. Some women read cosmo and take it seriously. Most women I know buy magazines (hell if I know why) and then laugh them off, or they like it for the fashion articles and ignore the cosmo tips like 'put his wang on your face to let him know you're excited for sex!' (which yes, was a real tip in a recent issue. And no I don't read it, I just saw a woman's blog post mocking it.)
But some men are idiot fathers, some men are total douchebags, enough to make that stereotype into TV like the Simpsons or Family Guy or ELRaymond. I hate those shows, not only because the men are completely useless but because they always have hot women with ugly, fat guys, the women are complete housewives and chained to the children, and really none of the characters are anything to look up to, save possibly Lisa Simpson, who is what, 8 or 9?
I would also like to point out that if someone had asked me about the commitment issue, I would say it's because men are always falling in love with the wrong women. I have a terrible father, a terrible stepfather (neither of whom have ever paid childsupport, I might add, or given me anything in my life), and a wonderful stepgrandfather who is a divorced man with two prior children whom he cares for wonderfully. Their mother and my biological mother are complete bitches in their own ways and rely on men to get what they need, which is just terrible. I think all my guy friends have lusted after the Megan Fox's of the world during highschool and college and gotten burned, because those women are shallow, greedy, and will never be good for anyone. I also think a lot of women fall into the same trap. I think OVERALL people need to be nicer to everyone all around and stop being so damned selfish, because this entire country just reeks of selfishness.
Cliffnotes: You've got some good points, but I can't take you entirely seriously because you've got a lot of assumptions about all women. If you want women to read this and believe you, I'd suggest rewriting it with a slightly more even-keeled tone that tries not to place blame on either party, since women and men can be total selfish jerks, and they can be totally awesome and nice. It's people, not one or the other gender.

I won't throw anything at you. Men are not a bunch of neanderthals.
The women age 24 to 28 are starting to get married to the men in that age range. The more time goes on, the more get married. I'm sure they're happy now, but look at the statistics for divorce. There is a 60% change that it will have an ugly end, and most of the burden is on men, especially financially. This isn't to say all women will regard men as tools, just that it's easy for them to given the cultural and legal biases. When I try to reason with women who I know, I have only heard 1 of them agree that there are biases against men, etc. The rest make it sound like feminism hasn't caused any harm and that women could do no wrong. They also stereotype men. You don't think I see Cosmo everywhere? Well not everywhere, but in the apartment of almost every female I know. When I ask them curious questions about it they seem tight-lipped. After reading that magazine I understand why. It's funny they want me to think there's nothing sexist about it, but then they're shady when it comes to discussing it.
Maybe some women laugh off Cosmo, or at least pretend to, but there are specific articles in there about how to control men mentally and emotionally. The way in which the instructions are clearly laid about are the same type of emotional domestic abuse feminists rail against when men behave in such a way. The big difference is that Cosmo lays out specific groundwork for making men angry and then threatening them with Domestic Violence charges and to call their boyfriends misogynists and sexists, and speaks of some non-existent "male anxiety" because of how we're born so insecure. And what does that imply, that women are emotionally superior?
When you say "I have a terrible father, a terrible stepfather (neither of whom have ever paid childsupport, I might add, or given me anything in my life)", does that mean if they paid money they would be acceptable fathers? Is that what it's all about for Western women?
When you say "I think OVERALL people need to be nicer to everyone all around and stop being so damned selfish, because this entire country just reeks of selfishness.", you hit the nail right on the head. Maybe you didn't miss the point of this article. However, selfishness is different for women because it's encoded into law and culture.
Also, "Cliffnotes: You've got some good points, but I can't take you entirely seriously because you've got a lot of assumptions about all women." I don't really, but most women don't take men seriously anyway, maybe a FEW do, so not all of them have their sense of entitlement and superiority, but this is American culture we are talking about here.
Per your comment "If you want women to read this and believe you, I'd suggest rewriting it with a slightly more even-keeled tone that tries not to place blame on either party, since women and men can be total selfish jerks, and they can be totally awesome and nice. It's people, not one or the other gender.", the point of this article is not for women to take this seriously. It's specifically to discourage men in America, England, Australia, New Zealand and similar countries from asking women to marry them.

Many young American females are pretty awful nowadays. Listen to their speech, and watch how they behave. If they are this bad BEFORE marriage, imagine them during and after(when they take your kids).
I am glad that, as an older man, I don't have that to look forward to anymore.

Amen brother! I too was "set free" by my ex-wife...and though we have 2 kids together, and I'm being drug through the whole child support nightmare, I wouldn't have it any other way! Just to be free from all the unrealistic, sick psychosis that woman put me through...I woulda gave my left arm for my freedom!
This article was right on the money. I can personally verify every aspect of what was written from my own experience. Theres a severe backlash coming to the women of this country. Many a woman will go unmarried and childless based on the woman's special rights movement. Marriage for me is absolutely off the table...no way in hell I'll walk that road again any time soon. Infact, I tell any young man I meet to avoid marriage at all costs...atleast until they change the child support and divorce laws of this country, where its more equitable for the man.
I know women hate to hear that. But good for them! This is obviously how they wanted it. I hope millions of them grow old lonely, as old spinnsters, rocking away in their nursing homes with no one coming by to visit them. It'll be just what they deserve!

boo hoo! Get over it! Now that we have equal protection and rights you no longer have anyone to feel superior to.
»
Thu, 12/11/2008 - 22:58
That is true, if by equal protection and rights you mean special treatment. Men being labeled abusive and forced to pay child support for kids they are hardly allowed to see to a woman who receives the money and does not work or pay taxes is hardly equal. The Violence Against Women Act is hardly equal protection either and is yet another case of legally sanctioned discrimination against men. At no point on my web site do I imply that men are superior or deserve to be in control of women. Women are human beings who deserve rights and respect. The purpose of this web site is to make the point that men should not be disposable to that fact. Men are, in fact, treated like disposable sperm-donoring wage slaves who can pay or go to jail. Men are also treated like woman-beaters by the letter of the law.
If any comments posted here imply that men are superior to women they do not express the views of myself (the owner and creator of this site).
With the statistic that marriage rates have declined 50% since 1970 in westernized countries such as the U.S. and U.K., one would think the legal system treating fathers and husbands like human beings would encourage more of them to ask women to marry them. From reading enough literature in feminine culture it seems marriage is very important to women. If so, don't label your special treatment as "equality." This makes you look like the superior one.

I wish someone had pulled me aside and taught me what legal marriage was really about when I was a teenager and maybe I wouldn't have made the most horrible mistake in my life - getting married. I stay in my marriage because 1. I love my daughter and couldn't bare not raising her, and 2) I don't want to lose nearly everything I ever worked for to my wife and her attorney's. I believe the vast majority of marriages stay together for these reasons. Marriage truly is a prison for many men.
After you push your wife to work (after she has 2 college degrees) and she turns on you and says she'll take your kid away from you if you don't like it, you're never the same person again.

I can't see how marriage is useful for a man. This is coming from a deeply religious Christian. I mean it too, active church attender, financially supporter, Bible reader, the whole 9 yards. For the life of me I don't see any reason to get married, why should I give up my life so a woman is in charge?
For the religous Christians it is the Biblical way of having sex, but that isn't a reason to get married in my eyes. So I go without, as hard as that is (and as crazy as that might sound, but I take God at His words regardless). It also says its not good for man to be alone, but not a requirement of anykind to marry. Jesus was single, so were most of the apostles.
I really think all women are prostitutes in that they give sex for money/marriage/to stay at home. I think its cheaper to hire a good maid, use the dry cleaners, forget the Saturday soccer and inlaw crap, etc. I have no need for marriage/serious relationships with women. Besides they're usually so annoying to talk to and are so demanding.

Wow, all women are prostitutes?
Thank you for the wonderful generalization and for calling me a hooker who would rather sell my body in order to stay at home and clean up after you and all the kids for the rest of my natural life than go out and make a career for myself and do what I like to do. Because when I think of my future goals, I think "Damn, if only I could find a well off man to marry so I could pump out a few of his kids and then live the high life with wailing infants, cleaning up shitty diapers and doing all the cooking and cleaning. God that would just be AWESOME! It's so lame that I just went through 4 years of college to get my degree and intern at Nickelodeon and do design work for major companies like Target and Facebook, supporting myself and having my own career sucks so much, if only I could be a housewife!"
I might as well say that I think all guys are rapists and idiot fathers. (Which I totally don't think, I know some awesome guys who will/do make awesome fathers if they choose to have kids) How do you like sweeping generalizations?
But please, don't change your opinion, I wouldn't want you to breed and pass on your opinion to your children. We don't need more of you, for serious.

I personally don't think all women are prostitutes or that all men are rapists. Where the previous commenter's last paragraph was a little over the top, his main point was that there is less in marriage for men than for women, at least legally speaking and I agree with that much of it.
No one's saying you should be a housewife. Congrats on your degree and I hope you further your career as you go along. As for those women (who are not you) who like to leach off of the system and take advantage of the fact that the law is biased again men, I do hope they realize men are catching on. Just like you know good fathers and potentially good ones, I have seen some moms milk as much child support and welfare as they can without keeping a job. It's almost like a reward for being irresponsible and it comes at the expense of the father whether he deserves it or not. It seems that if two irresponsible partners have a kid, the female is rewarded while the male has to pay or go to jail.

Thanks for your comments and taking time to share your opinion. Everyone's feedback is appreciated.
I wouldn't criticize too harshly. The idea for this article isn't to stereotype men and women. It is about cultural and legal biases against husbands and fathers in America.
Marriage for men means a high risk and almost no rights or protections what so ever compared to women. Meanwhile, feminists will lie endlessly about equality. This is probably why the marriage rate is so low. Why get hitched when you're already considered useless to begin with?
