Women get all their value up front through her youth and beauty. Men on the other hand, are given nothing but the burden to perform and he must work to build himself physically and financially. A woman, at the least, only needs to guard her value through maintaining what she has and cash in at the right time before she reaches a time when her attributes start to decline. It's mother nature's 'cruel' truth. On the other hand, time is a friend to the wise and diligent man. If he builds himself up, his value continues to increase and eventually equates to and even surpases that of a woman over time. However, society has put in place the great equalizer. A parachute for the falling woman. Marriage! Through this trap and society's expectations, a woman can gain control over the man. The man who falls into this trap has put himself at the mercy of another adult human being. The marraige, if and when it fails, destroys the man's lifetime of hard work and transfers his value to the woman. Marraige is the institution that will hold back the man and ensnare him so that his value is held back and brings up the woman. Modern marraige is the institution that is meant to balance the value and power between the man building himself up and mother nature taking away what she has given to the woman. A man gets nothing from the modern intstituion of marraige. This is the trap for each gender who cannot see what the long term consequences of their actions are. The woman is foolish to waste her youth riding the CC and the man is foolish to submit himself to marraige. Both of which will be destructive to their future in the long term. Thanks for reading.
