Men Are More Disinclined to Marry Than Ever - A Reflection on a Serious Problem

As usual it's either men are to blame or sex is to blame, way to go conservatism for missing the point entirely, can't possibly be because of all these idiots trying to enforce their beliefs about relationships and sex on us.

I always see articles about men not marrying but I've never heard one being up divorce laws and custody issues. Is this some kind of elephant in the room that everyone but the manosphere is ignoring?

I hope everyone will excuse me for not being especially interested in opinions about sex and marriage from a celibate priest without experience in either activity.

But to the point: "A Reflection on a Serious Problem"

I've yet to hear why this is a "problem"? who is it a problem for? Marriage is a fictional relationship status, and it comes with extremely significant repercussions for men...rejecting marriage is an EXTREMELY positive sign of male maturity and self-awareness.

Would we ever see a headline "Men Are More Disinclined to Use Tobacco Than Ever - A Reflection on a Serious Problem"?

Objectively good choices are not "a problem".

Sadly, many young men honestly admit that they prefer pornography to real women. Pornography doesn’t talk back or have preferences or moods. Real relationships are complex and require navigation and negotiation.

Yes, because I should have to suffer, plot, scheme, beg, plead, and negotiate in order to have an orgasm. If that's a "real relationship" then I am perfectly fine with the fake relationship I have with Tori Black. Life is too short to have bad sex and bad sex is worse than no sex.

Most men I know perceive that they are often considered by the wider culture as deficient, even depraved. The “men are stupid” commercials and sitcoms abound. Men are often presented as buffoons, who need women and children to “set them straight” on the simplest of things.

Avoiding legal/financial entanglement with women has less to do with a man's penis than it does his self-respect and no self-respecting man would tolerate being treated like a piece of shit by his supposedly loving wife and being forced to pay for the privilege.

By all means, let's look to celibate men for advice on when and how (and whether) to choose a mate and start a family.

Priests. Not even once.

Tradcon bull shit. Completely missing the point.

I don't see a problem. More men are being freed from the shackles of marriage. This is a good thing.
