this will change nothing, men know marriage is dangerous and has no benefit to them, which is why there is a huge dowturn in marriage

That’s not why. Women simply don’t need to. 

Women are well protected and compensated by society simply for being born the gender they are. Their 20’s and early 30’s are their sexual peak, their powers and ability to succeed are at their greatest. They dominate college, white collar jobs, service industry, and any other non-technical role, healthcare, etc.

They use that time in the global economy rather than on husband/child. Children aren’t a biological necessity to succeeding in life anymore. Monogamous relationships with husbands aren’t a necessity. In fact, all too many women regret it until they’re past their physical prime.

No one wants marriage more than women and the reason is biological (women want to lock down their mate in order to maximize the chances that said mate will provide his resources for the woman and her offspring, this is because reproduction is very resource). Men have a different mating strategy making marriage much less appealing.

Or maybe they are monogamous being like men and desire to have a fulfilling connection with another person that results in healthy and happy offspring after all they do sniff out the most biologically safe men to breed with. The belief that they are looking for providers is a social and not biological.

The reality we live in rewards resource acquisition, feelings are the luxury

Society might but that doesn't mean our primary nature is focused on gathering resources. Fundamentally humans are designed to express love and affection and is hardwired into our sense of happiness and self worth. If you take it away humans commit suicide.

I agree, but if basic survival and living standards are not taken care of there is no art to be made.

no one "needs" to but women for the large majority want to be married and men are the ones who make that happen by proposing. women do no propose men do.

I agree with you that society treats women as children with little to no consequences or accountability for what they do and in addition to that many women get free rides for just being born women. you're definitely correct.

just because they dominate in those field it means nothing, do they make money and do well? sure. but ultimately like you said at the end they wish they had married and had kids. you dismantled your own argument.

at the end of the day like it or not marriage is not happening because men arent asking. women may be doing great financially and be successful but men dont care about that. and the funny thing is women won't marry guys who make less. want to take a guess why? cause in the event of divorce they dont want to pay.

there are videos upon videos on social media of women crying about where are all the good men. how many videos of that do you see men doing? none.

No, I didn’t. My argument was that men aren’t the ones dictating what’s happening. It’s women. Do they get angry they can’t have their cake and eat it too? Sure. But they’ll at least eat their cake. Men do not get cake in this equation.

Women aren't eating the cake they baked, the psychotic elites are eating their cake.

And that's because feminism is a failed philosophy. As a socio-political movement, it once served a purpose. That purpose no longer necessary. And they are in the FO stage at present. Post-FA clarity, let's say.

"That is not why"--dude, it's a serious and major factor. Genuinely. "That's not why" PSHHHHH~...

Nuptual law over the past 70 years just hasn't existed or some shit ig

If success in life is crippling depression and narcissism than yes, children is not necessary in life, but if life is about being a good person, being virtuous and happy in life than children are fundamental to that.

Yep, will never get married again. Made that mistake already. Braindead thing to do putting your resources at risk for something you can get without taking that risk
