Conservative Columnist George Will shames never-married men: The [male labor force participation rate] collapse has coincided with a retreat from marriage (“the proportion of never-married men was over three times higher in 2015 than 1965”), which suggests a broader infantilization.

Oh please let me risk my freedom, money and mental health for the chance to live as someone's manservant! I sure would hate to stay in my spacious downtown apartment with all my video games and fridge full of beer and steak.

I know work. I worked non-stop for decades. George Will has nothing to tell me about work that I don't already know. I worked and scrimped and saved for years, to punch out and become one of his (early retired) male non-workers. Happy for the first time in my life. Fuck off George.

Someday they'll figure it out.

See, I was a married man. That is what society call me. In retrospect, I was an ATM for a wife.

Oh look at me crying on my jetski, because you disapprove of my life style.

While you are listening to the "story of the new patio furniture" from your in-laws during another boring meal, im going 60mph jumping waves while listening to rock music (waterproof mp3)

oh the shame! it really stings lol

Largely because of government benefits and support by other family members, nonworking men ages 25 to 54 have household expenditures a third higher than the average of people in the bottom income quintile. Hence, Eberstadt says, they “appear to be better off than tens of millions of other Americans today, including the millions of single mothers who are either working or seeking work.”

Oh fuck right the hell off.

This stat is less than meaningless. "household expenses"? Fucking really? From a Republican? Come on! "single mothers"? How much tangible wealth is actually being produced by the hands of single mothers?

My idea of downtime away from work isn't listening to a female nag and whine at me while I constantly worry she'll cash in her divorce lottery ticket and take cash and prizes from me.

Oh he has got us, guess we need to get back on the plantation, we not proper negros less we be slaves.

Somehow a bright mind found a way to blame Trump about it.....

Independent Patriot 2:44 PM GMT+0200 [Edited]

It's the lazy Trump supporters dropping out complaining about everything. Crying for the days when industrial manufacturing drove the economy. Learn STEM skills, embrace Science... but nooooooo.... they rather blame the government and collect their entitlements. I have openings i cannot fill with native born Americans because so many have zero technical skills. Lazy Republicans w/o a work ethic. Who would ever have thought.....

Funny reading uh?

George Will isn't infantilized?? Look at his stupid haircut, its the same his mother gave him, like almost every republican. And BTW, conformity to a system which doesn't benefit you is both cowardly and infantile, George, but you will never realize that because you were indoctrinated at a very young age.

You bet your ass we're better off than some parasitic hookers with baby rabies trying to cuck men out of their own money and freedom

I wonder if it occurs to this genius that the participation rate has fallen in conjunction with the increase in socialism and feminism. It's called the law of unintended consequences - get used to it.

JonathanStrange1 · 2016-10-06T13:42:59+00:00

LOL lets use a population stat for never-marrieds that followed and coincides with the 3 biggest conflicts the US has seen since the civil war, WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam, yeah, I'd surmise that there were a lot of married men then because there wasn't a lot of men to go around period.

western society is an area in the world waiting for an earthquake. the friction of its parts is evident, but deeply misuderstood. men are quitting, it's fact. men have the responsibility, so it's their fault. there's this friction between idea and reality, about how young men should be like the men in older generation: strong, hardworking and men of newer generation: sensitive, emasculated, soft. having a family, children, is the biggest drive for men to work, to build something. men know, some only subconsciously, that they don't have to slave themselves for no reason. in ancient times people understood this and invented marriage. give men children and they will slave willingly for the betterment of society. i don't know if the friction will make a real earthquake or not, maybe women will pickup, maybe they will be the ones to slave themselves for society. globalism put everything in a much more larger basket than i can predict. as long as poorer men, with more obiedent wives, will slave willingly to the world the goalpost will be moved a little bit more.

I love how they get 'broader infantilization' from that and not 'people can't afford to get married anymore'. Fucking Christ, MGTOW shit aside, people are just not financially secure enough to pursue things like marriage and children. Why are all these old fucks so out of touch

grufx · 2016-10-06T18:25:53+00:00

Where are all the proud "MGTOW" tradcons to defend this widespread and traditionally conservative position?

KamiMoon · 2016-10-06T20:01:48+00:00

George Will is the de facto mouth piece of establishment cuck Republicans.

They are irrelevant. Fuck them.

Zombocom1911 · 2016-10-07T05:22:58+00:00

"retreat" from marriage suggests A BROADER INFANTILIZATION??? FUCK YOU , YOU BLUE PILL SHILL

Oversia · 2016-10-06T19:06:09+00:00

It doesn't suggest broader infantilization it suggest the legal government contract marriage is not just a bad deal but actually a racket.
