All I want is for the government to stay the fuck out of my life. All I want is to exist without interference.
I am a man, and I am strong, tough, and capable, both physically and mentally. All I want is to be able to use my strength to pursue a career without government interference. I want to get married and have children without government interference.
It's insane to think that people in third world countries have it better than men in the United States. We serve in a comfortable palace, yes, but our lives are not free. We exist at the whim of a profit-motivated government that makes money from tearing apart our families, that makes money from putting honest men in prison for family issues and putting them to work as free labor, that makes money from the theft and re-allocation of income from an ex-husband to an ex-wife long after the relationship has ended.
My relationship choices can put me in prison.
My career exists at the whim of any passing offended woman.
Yet... this country depends on me. It depends on millions of men working, producing, fighting, and dying. I cannot live free in the United States. I and every other man here participates under coercion, not cooperation - and any economist can tell you that coercion as a leadership style produces staggeringly bad results.
I'm not surprised the economy is continually tanking. I'm not surprised marriage rates are falling. I'm not surprised that there's a growing trend toward males playing videogames, working a low-end job, and eschewing social expectations. We are not free.
Complain away, women. It's not even feminism's fault. The crux of the problem is the fact that the government takes profit from alimony, child support, and prisoners. Systems gravitate towards profit, and that's that.
It's not going to get better.
