@Stahesh I would also argue that men aren’t really the ones who are the gatekeepers of relationships anymore, simply because of the family court system. I would agree with you if we were talking prior to second wave feminism, but if you look at no fault divorce, child custody laws, alimony and child support laws women hold all the cards to relationships too. Not to mention they end relationships and marriage more often than men. If a relationship/marriage lasts it’s because the woman sees value.
You can’t blame the men for broken families because women are the gate keepers of sex and reproduction, and also in the family courts women use the children as leverage knowing that the less a man sees the kid the more resources they’ll be able to extract. It’s all about money that’s the reason women initiate 80% of divorces. Since the 1970s I believe, marriage rates have dropped roughly between 50-60%.
@houseoftolstoy That's mainly why the US is so enclaved to the point where you have two populations being forced to tolerate each other.
The sad thing is parting ways can not take place peacefully. It has to be done through a Civil War. Even suggesting "Hey, since we're so different, may as well go our own path. That'll put an end to the clivage if we go by Live and Let Live." will get you mocked and ridiculed out of the room.
Welp. Violence will inevitably solve this.
@houseoftolstoy my line in the sand, no gays bc they are degenerate
Anyone can say they do not like the current US healthcare system and say it should be improved. But when discussing solutions, if you have one person saying we should go full free market and the other saying we should have it fully socialized, then you are not going to find any agreement beyond "the current system sucks."
And besides, we see currently that both proponents think the presence of elements of each other's system is the problem while their own is the solution.
I always cringe at the mention of "we want the same things"/"we agree on more than we disagree" when it is someone who has politics that are diametrically opposed to my own. When you want to go the exact opposite direction that I do, we are nowhere near "wanting the same things."
Having some vague "same" end goal is not the same thing as a fully implemented set of policies seen to their conclusion. Because of this, common ground is most often not found.
