I like Camille, but she over blowing her case, by a massive amount. Danesha is not the Germanic Tribes, there not even close.

Hmm...I'm not entirely sure about this idea that the 'nuclear family' is a modern construct. After all, as a model of how family's are constructed it seems to have been around forever; and the idea of all the grandparents all living together - well that was back in the days when people died at 55 max, so it's not really a big deal.

What has changed is that by granting women the vote, women immediately assumed political power, because they instantly became the majority of voters. Technology such as washing machines, cleaning products and cars then meant looking after a home became much easier and people became more mobile.

This created two-income households who can out-compete single-income households, driving up property prices and making us all mortgage-slaves.

Women with children can then eject their partner through divorce and seize his revenue and money, then move on to a second partner and benefit from his funds IF he's not been through the same treadmill.

For women it really means taking a calculated gamble, usually in your early 40s, to 'trade up or sideways'.

And for men, the wisest course really would be, I guess, not to play the game, depressing as that is.

Hitting the nail on the head. I really like her here. Overpopulation and the current "work culture" is a humanity killer. People in high positions have taken note of the women's newfound potential as a consumer, and keep pampering and elevating women and the construct of femininity (regardless of whether you think it's innate or socially constructed) to absolutely excessive heights, harmful even to women themselves. Men and masculinity have become even more limited and seem almost pointless by comparison. We're barely starting to wise up to the bad deal we're getting, and feminists are swift as lightning to try and put us back on the treadmill by shifting all kinds of blames on us. Least we could do is shut the fuck up and do what women say to maybe make up for it all, right?

Shit. Being stuck with such a shite role in an utterly directionless overcrowded society that keeps shoving "women are wonderful" in your face, it is no wonder statistically that men more commonly resort to escape avenues. Video games. Porn. Booze. Cigarettes. Drugs. Suicide. And yes, even changing your entire sex. Symptoms of a societal decline.
