In modern America, we’ve seen a significant shift as many women move away from traditional expectations and sacrifices. That is their right, and no one’s freedom should be restricted. It is wrong to dictate how women should behave. They deserve the freedom to make their own choices, just as men do. Feminism has long advocated for equality, and as men, we should embrace that as well. Like modern women, we should respect and exercise our own freedoms.

If a woman does not embrace traditional sacrifices, then men shouldn’t either. Since gender dynamics are complex, rather than focusing on directly mirroring actions, we should focus on reciprocal opportunity costs. Here are a few examples:

  • If a woman does not compensate for rejecting traditional sacrifice, such as foregoing her hypergamous nature by being a virgin or significantly more attractive than you, then the man shouldn't sacrifice his polygamous nature.
  • If a woman is not submissive and does not meet your emotional needs, then the man is not obligated to protect or provide for her.

Men need to understand: it’s your body, your choice. No one has the right to impose expectations on your body, just as women have bodily autonomy, so do men.
