There needs to be a movement to have society translate and simply laws. There should be a concept of "core law clarity" in plain spoken languages. Even a concept of "basic international" laws translated to every language. Laws should be classified based on their desired complexity (complex laws should be avoided outside of specialized area, such as nuclear power or such). Maybe even some way to test laws. 100 random selected citizens should be able to read and take a test on a law, and if less t…

reddit logic: Police are imperfect, screw you over. Lawyers are perfect, always instruct you correctly and are never selfish! The society problems of honesty and truth seem far deeper to me than the simple technical matter of when you dial for a lawyer.

I'm saying that most of the things you need a spouse for have disappeared. It isn't a "real" relationship if you have a machine if you have a machine wash dishes instead of a spouse. what a shallow "make a sandwich" mentality you have.

Who needs a spouse anymore for anything but companionship? but that's still a very very shallow thing. Like sitting next to each other in cubicles in an office. That's the very expression of the best film of 2011 A Separation Look, people do no have to marry. But what's the point of a shallow shitty marriage?

My simple viewpoint, coming from a complex personal understanding of marriage history on a global scale. 1) Freedom is a good thing. No-fault divorce is freedom. these statistics suggest to me that women were being held prisoner in some marriages. 2) Freedom takes maturity. Just because you can marry and divorce like Larry King doesn't mean it is a very good idea. Overall, I think society is acting like 21 year old children given unlimited access to alcohol for the first time. Drunken divorce pa…

magazine makes money by keeping women single and sexually frustrated I think you have the chicken and egg backwards. that's like claiming that mythology comes form a sky-man who wishes to keep us frustrated. Mythology, at it's root, is teaching you understanding - not a control system. Of course, it gets hijacked by the power seekers... again and again and again.

But the game of sex is the biggest game we have! New York Professor Joseph Campbell discussing truth at the wise age of 82 on the works of Thomas Mann: "The writer must be true to truth." And that's a killer, because the only way you can describe a human being truly is by describing his imperfections. The perfect human being is uninteresting -- the Buddha who leaves the world, you know. It is the imperfections of life that are lovable. And when the writer sends a dart of the true word, it hurts.…

As for the woman who miscarried and her husband, what makes you think they didn't love each other? There is a secondary story going on here with the second couple. I think the main theme of the movie I am not discussing your particular interpretation. I view this as a Mythological grounded film, on the level of Dante's work.

As Roger Ebert said in review of a different social movie "We don't always go to the movies for searing truth, but more often for reassurance" A Separation offers no such reassurance, except in it's final scene.

the hard times we are facing with me traveling for work and disagreements that we have. If you are interested in some female expression on Love and Compassion, I suggest another Sufi perspective, modernized: Elif Shafak's 2007 work called "The Forty Rules of Love". Good luck, and it's clear we both think it's great to have art like A Separation to try and share the emotion/feeling of common life and our personal conflicts.

I am an American, my first wife... also American... divorced me after living together 13 years. Now I'm 15 months into a new marriage with a wife from Algeria - we met over Facebook. This movie really nails the modern global marriage problems. The movie offers no explanation nor remedy - it just shows two marriages that are without Love.

I appreciate your qualification of the word "aggression" - as marriage relationships have become either 1) boring as hell, 2) aggressively negative. People consider aggressive positive only fantasy or even crazy. The film A Separation really nailed what is going on with many modern marriages. Roger Ebert declared it the best film of the year. It's emotionally brutal to watch, especially uninterrupted and with full attention. marriage and passion.

How does marrying help your fellow man? It's being married, but with the right ideals around it. Turns marriage back into it's roots. It's reclaiming ideals, not focused on any fixed social system. It was always difficult, and admitting to the difficulty... Marriage is nothing more than an idea. Then once things become institutionalized, many individuals start to blindly obey rules & structure, not even caring or learning about the original founding ideals.

As a male here, age 42 married, I have to say that there is some truth. The problem is about Love for Lifetime Commitment (marriage). It isn't weak and shallow, and it clearly is not popular or desired by many people who celebrate the short-term short-lasting experience.

Except "not taking them serious" is perhaps the larger issue at hand. Debate, discussion, dialog is far better than guns, war, violence! It is hate and violence that ALL reasoned people wish to end.

Faith has no place in a relationship. Well, if marriage vows aren't a promise of faith, than they are nothing. Your attitude is very popular these days, so is divorce. People divorce because they desire divorce and make choices that lead to divorce. I'm not saying that the choices are his fault, it is the pair that makes a marriage. nothing less than both.

Disclaimer: The situation is a bit loaded. I'm responding as me, period. Duality, duality, duality. Why oh why do we ignore it. I feel like such a fool for not focusing on it. The world isn't any simpler to me, but I'm at peace with it in a way i never had. So many profound things your reply provokes from me. It's like I want to have a coffee and discussion in the middle of a battlefield.

It's much deeper than that. Alas, in the USA, women are pretty much on the attack of men at this time. Is it like arguing with the seasons, or is it something individuals can deal with. This in an unanswerable question.

Kudos to thee and realize your intellect is far above the norm for the, in my opinion, typical Reddit user whose mental abilities hover somewhere above a rock. It isn't intellect. It's effort. Look at government and the constitution. Things eventually get taken for granted. Regardless if the Constitution should drive everything or not, it should be considered with every law... it's now an afterthought to consider constitutionality. The same goes with human interaction. people spend so much more …

I am a male. I believe that male and female have to equally strive to come together. The evidence is out there upon the Web with some very good sources that indicate females use false accusations at greater levels than most folks realize. Yha, women aren't perfect? There is probably equal stuff showing men are more prone to physical violence. I encourage you to study the concepts of Yin and Yang. Things are screwed up, but I think it's just humans reacting to too much change and distraction. it …

Except the focus seems to be on men's inability to understand women and how stupid they are for failing to. I assume you mean the Mars/Venus book? I only know a little bit of it. Yin/Yang is universal concept, not just male/female.

would you say that about a man physically abusing a woman? I posted a link to genetic contributors for suicide. I'd only say that there is a lot of history on this, and active cultures in this world that hold very different views. The real question I have is to turn this around on you: Is it possible that physical abuse has declined, and now an increase in emotional abuse? Have people gotten better at hiding and concealing abuse as a response to the social/peer pressure against it? Is short-atte…

If there is abuse, there is a responsibility for the other to leave. plain and simple. There are clearly other options. Namely, seek treatment. Either behavior treatment or drugs. Even group therapy could be enough.

The "Women are from Venus, Men are from Mars" mentality is perpetuated in both the common vernacular and popular media to such an extent that people actually believe it. Joseph Campbell: "in that yin/yang figure from China, in the dark fish, or whatever you want to call it, there is the light spot. And in the light one, there's a dark spot. That's how they can relate. You couldn't relate at all to something in which you did not somehow participate."

I think the word "abuse" people are literally meaning "intentional abuse". With marriage and parenting so screwed up... and our improved awareness of genetics - why do people always conclude that somebody acts under social stress strictly out of intention? The Chinese are way ahead of us on this thinking with Yin and Yang, although I expect they are adopting western thinking. That's one thing we do not need to export - the modern American relationship ;)

I think men tend to need solitude more than women. Simon Baron-Cohen suggests that Autism is an "extreme male mind." Autism impacts males 5x more than females. Autism is in a way an overload of sensory input, including social stimulation. It isn't just immediate overload, it can happen over lower levels of socialization for longer durations (it builds up). I find Yin and Yang pretty well encompass the opposite but complementary aspect of men and women. Women probably NEED (like gotta go out or p…

She's not not cherry picking the parts of equality that are positive and leaving all the negative parts of equality is she? Discussion here... Wasn't it the case that society/men cherry picked how far women could climb, keeping the top grades? Glass ceiling. Generalizing: I seem to observe that women are paying retribution instead of equality... reacting and not realizing how much men have already adjusted. From another perspective... does equality ever reach 50/50 or does it bounce around even …

I miss the old days when people were civil and worked this out without the courts. It's what my aunt and uncle did when they divorced. They hated each other, but understood that each of them are still humans. I too wonder if we are seeing that the courts have proven a poor substitute for a church or other social institution. Perhaps goverment should get out of the business of marriage all together. No tax benefits, no divorce rules, etc. Having kids is where maybe the law should establish some f…

I agree with the trend observations. Generalizing, it is my observation that women are waging a cultural war against men (payback for the past?), even if they don't all individually realize it. However, the part about the causes... seems a bit short on historic perspective. The researchers believe our culture brings out narcissistic behaviour in almost all of us. They blame the internet (where 'fame' is a click away), reality television (where the lure of fame without talent is most prevalent), …

I don't have a problem with her ending the marriage to go and explore her sexuality. I have a problem with it, it's not the point of marriage! Marriage isn't required... you can live together, have kids, etc - and not be married. Marriage is a pledge to stay together... and agree together.

Thanks for the feedback so far. I respect anyone's personal beliefs and ideas on the matter... and glad to see my thoughts taken seriously. I am challenging the current mentality that it is a weak man (person) who lets the pain linger - I think it is the strong man who learns from the pain and agony of love. Live by the sword, die by the sword. I'm questioning, as I believe we have to all do for ourselves, if the "current popular way" - is better than the old way - or is something lost in avoidi…

Clearly she puts hate before love, and she puts a group of friends around herself that do not challenge her to grow - but only reinforce what she wants to believe (conformational bias). Life-long isn't in her concept of husband and marriage vows, only with her children. This is one thing too many women do when it comes to husband hating: Too often, they talk to each other and support whatever their friend says. They don't check facts, they don't offer to get involved with the couple, they just s…

Dude, you are well thought out and versed. But I can sum it up simple: men did not treat women as equals. Now the "system" (society) is overacting. Period. Harmony and equality - do they ever exists? Probably not. Karlfried Graf Durckheim speaks for this: "When you're on a journey, and the end keeps getting further and further away, then you realize that the real end is the journey." Can't live with, can't live without. That's me ladies.

Ah, free will vs. non-free will. That's probably the real question that an educated person struggles with the most. Do we have enough knowledge to face that possibility - is the universe just a computer running a bunch of independent interacting programs? With very very complex, but fixed rules? We can not know if we are in a fish tank on god's table. Probably the one question that will linger the most for me... one I know I should let go of... and will try.

Funny. I'm a woman, and I feel EXACTLY the same pressures (from both outward and in) you've described as being the kind that only men feel. I think the point here is that it is being acknowledged that women feel these pressures... but they don't have to. Your observation of both outward and in - if we all stop feeling it within, then the outward will likely evaporate. Perhaps it is much easier to achieve this in a small community (Redditors seeking mates within the group?) than it is greater soc…

There's more to life than being number one at everything and I think women remind us of that. I call these the masculine vs feminine forces, we need both to balance us out. Sounds like marriage has taught you well.

Jesus is on Holy Rood, the tree, and he is himself the fruit of the tree. Jesus is the fruit of…

I did remove myself from society, in many ways (6 to 8 year period). It didn't work for me. After my failure, I did a lot of homework on the messages from the past that survive. Joseph Campbell speaks what I encountered in my own heart (his words did not inspire my life, only describe my experience that I did before I found his words): The myth is the public dream and the dream is the private myth. If your private myth, your dream, happens to coincide with that of the society, you are in good ac…

I invite you to consider that (long long ago) society must have developed concepts of things like marriage as they had experienced over-indulgence of selfish behavior. Of course, marriage got all screwed up too - not that anything in life ever strikes the perfect balance. The idea of marriage by choice was one that was debated and spread... by artists, the church, by people at all levels. The debate will never end. The story of Tristan and Isolde from 1180 or so is a good point of focus. "I have…

You make a well thought out and presented case. I'm curious your perspective of history of western civilization and how long this has been going on? To me, it got bad when it became widespread and started to dominate the middle and lower classes of society. I think it used to strictly be high society nonsense to have such dominating (stereotypical) expectations of male/female success. I'd argue that Edward Bernays established a foundation that mass media (newspapers, magazines, TV, movies, music…

Women try to compete with each other by taking their clothes off. Think Myspace. I've never competed with a woman before. I've had other women try and compete with me and I just shun their game because I'm not interested. I'd say they compete with each other by putting clothes on and hair/makeup...

(Walking through a landmine field here, the war of the sexes...) If there is truth in what you say - it is because women right now - right here in western society - have repressed men. It is "payback time" for what men did to women in the past. Evolution has wired me to want women - I wish men and women were not at war! Alas, it's pretty clear to me they are.
