Back in the traditional days it was about YOUR desire to reproduce and YOUR kids and providing for them, as a man's meaning to his life.

Thus a man with a wife and 2 kids as the ideal family.

Then with the individualism came the single mom era: She who gave his best years to someone else and getting a child after falling out of love. The strong independent woman now playing the helpless victim and family and friends trying to set her up with a guy through advertisements : 'wow, he's broad-minded' and 'that's a strong man'. It did had some meaning back then when marrying the widow (with kids, whose father who didn't return from war).

Now that the stigma of marrying a single mom been done with hey have the audacity to say things like 'be mature to handle me, my kids come first though'.

Prescribing what masculinity is to shift the goalposts according to their need(thus, toxic masculinity: if you don't align). All of it in the name of 'sustaining civilization'. Men putting up to this only made it more murky for the successive generations because giving women more privileges while not demanding any accountability.

Playing coy to be entitled to the perks of a traditional chivalrous conditioning in men and then using modern laws to extract as much as possible by activism.

Thus the hate for single moms in the red pilled manosphere.
