Replies in a recent post on r/askfeminism has led me to believe not only do women not desire relationships with men, but they don’t believe in love anymore. In fact most replies imply that women detest love from men as it leads to the imprisonment of childbirth. They believe men provide nothing [within relationships] and are only an increased burden.

I think Men believe in, and desire, to love and be loved.

Is this difference in perception (one desiring a family while the other being raised in a feminist culture to believe having a family is a patriarchal burden forced upon women by man’s evil penis 💦) the reason dating is so shitty for men now? Because men are the only ones that want to date?

If women as a whole are rejecting men (as an idea, even) before they even attempt to woo a woman, what should young men be taught now?

Something like “women aren’t your enemy, but they see you as one. Or as a means for extracting money, a cog in the commodified sex machine who will pay for a vial of their bathwater. Let women pursue you. Otherwise, seek prostitutes and God to satisfy your carnal drives. Love is a fantasy taught to the poor to give them reason to settle into their mediocre lives and procreate. Save your seed for a suitable carrier - see women as no more than that, potential genetic combinatrixes whom you may use as surrogates with the money you earn as a result of avoiding belief in love…”? I mean not really that, but is this world so bleak now that young folks don’t believe there is value in love and procreation?
