Gentlemen, once you’ve graduated from college and are well into your 20s, I encourage you to hit the singles scene and try to find a woman your age who can cook, manage her personal finances and has both the know-how and motivation to properly maintain a household. You’ll have better luck (and probably more fun) searching for nickels on a busy interstate. Now, before any female readers shout “misogynist,” think for a moment — the standard I’m imposing is no more sexist than the one being mourned by Hymowitz. Women, for all of their successes and achievements in the last 40 years, still want a man who’s ambitious, driven and capable of taking charge of his life and his relationships, because that’s what women have looked for in a man since the dawn of time. Well, guess what? What we look for in a woman hasn’t changed a whole lot either. We want someone who can support us emotionally, be a mother to our children and can keep the cave tidy while we’re out hunting woolly mammoths. Spending my free time drinking and playing Wii isn’t going to make me president any sooner than being chained to a desk 80 hours a week is going to allot you the necessary time to help our kids learn how to read.
Wow. This is a really terrible article.
Where Have The Good Women Gone? - AskMen
There’s a pretty significant difference between wanting a man who takes responsibility for himself and wanting a woman who is functionally no different than your mother/housekeeper/babysitter. I mean, there are OCEANS in between these two things. One of these things is a matter of character. The other is a matter of skillset. I’d like to think the fact that I don’t know how to cook doesn’t materially change the fact that I am a person of character or that my character should be the thing about me that a man would be interested in. Expecting women to be your manual labor so you can go out and do “man things”—like defining yourselves by your interests, while women define themselves by their relationship to you and your children—is fucking insulting.
