Alright guys so I just had a massive epiphany:
Modern American society is built more or less around the wants and needs of women. Why? Because women are inherently impulsive emotional creatures are more susceptible to advertising and make roughly 80% of the purchasing decisions. A western woman's primary impulse is to consume, to buy makeup and clothes to look pretty. A man's primary impulse is to create, to build, to hunt, to conquer. However self sufficiency is toxic in a consumerist society because it decreases demand. Therefore American media demonizes male self sufficiency and promotes female consumption. Oprah's show is the best example of this: rooms of woman shriek with joy at consumer items while men are guilted and shamed. Marriage is a cornerstone of this system because it ties the economic productivity of a man who would other wise have low demand to the insatiable consumerism of a woman.
