Came across a very interesting statistic in this article:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-3046350/Why-men-refuse-marry-Women-complain-chaps-today-won-t-settle-Sorry-ladies-s-fault-argues-wickedly-provocative-new-book-Denigration-Men-PETER-LLOYD.html
It's a review of Peter Lloyd's book "Stand By Your Manhood" and is filled with the requisite horror stories of divorce rape.
What is interesting though is the following statistic:
"According to the Office for National Statistics, marriage in Britain is at its lowest level since 1895. In 2011, there were just 286,634 ceremonies — a 41 per cent free fall from 1972, when 480,285 couples tied the knot."
This is amazing! The numers are total marriages, not marriages per capita.
The population of Britain has approximately doubled since 1895, so that means per capita marriages are 1/2 what they were in the 19th century, and based on population increase since 1972, marriages per capita are approximately 1/2 what they were. In other words, per capita marriage rates were stable from the 19th through the 20th centuries, but have fallen by half in this century.
This is also in the face of heavy immigration to the UK, by people from the third world who have very high marriage rates. The marriage rate among educated, middle class Brits must have fallen by even more than 50%.
I guess this means that even blue pill guys are not such suckers that they aren't aware of how awful marriage is. Every guy I know, whether a blue pill beta, or anyone else, knows at least one horror story about marrige, many have seen the divorce rapes and dead bedroom situations in their own families. A grassroots rebellion is happening, no matter how much the media tries to upsell marriage, or ignore the men's revolt.
Postscript: I have found some new data that both confirm and shed further light on trends in marriage per capita.
A statistician who works for SAS took an interest in marriage & divorce statistics and why they are never published as per capita (which is how you discern trends.) So he calculated and plotted per capita marriage & divorce rates from the 19th century to today, the only graph of its type I have seen:

You can look at the original image of the graph here: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CHpabfLUMAAywVz.png
So my calculations on the data from the UK's ONS worked out to be correct, but only by serendipity.
Marriage rates were fairly steady in the 19th century, then started to rise, going through booms and busts, falling back to 19th century rates in the depths of the Great Depression, for example.
There was a precipitous drop in marriage rates in 1969-1971, though, even greater than what happened during the Great Depression. What was behind this, I wonder.
Anyhow, by 1972 marriage rates were back to what they had been in the 1800s, and since then there has been a steady, straight-line decline in marriage rates until our time, and rates are now 1/2 what they were in the 1800s or the 1970s, or the Great Depression.
What is interesting also is that his data are for the United States. The same 50% value is confirmed in another country.
The other statistic that doesn't lie is per capita divorce rates. It has been on an upward trend as women have been incentivized to get rid of their disgusting betas so they can still get provided for, but don't have to put up with the lousy feelz of having to fuck them.
One is tempted to speculate that the rising divorce rate leads to millions of young men seeing the horrors of Divorce Rape first hand, so they vow not to play a rigged game, which leads to lower marriage rates, and the marriage and divorce rates being on a path to eventually converge. It will be a different world when that happens.
