Marriage Rates Drop

Conservatives KNOW this is a result of women’s rights. That’s why they are trying to eliminate women’s rights. 

Almost like women are putting careers and personal achievements over men 🤯

Almost like they were able to start fending for themselves. Weird.

If you can’t convince a woman to marry you without ensuring she has no choice but to marry, the problem isn’t women. The problem is that you’re trash. Be better.

Life expectancy has risen as well!

Oh back in the good old 50’s when women couldn’t take out loans or get credit without their father’s or husbands permission. When your only duty as a wife was to do anything your husband told you to do. Yup don’t know why any woman would not love that.

If divorce rates are also declining then isn’t this a good thing?

It was also right after the war. And they couldn’t divorce. And needed husbands for getting mortgages and such.

Like wow. When people have options, they choose different things. Wild.

I also bet you have…..the same numbers for men, too! And even stay at home dads. And people who work from home. And there isn’t lead in the water and air. WhAt iS tHiS mAdNeSs.

In 1950 women weren’t allowed to have a bank account.

yeah, but now men are pissed af that they no longer “control the means of (human) production” and want to take back control of our bodies and reproduction from us. Patriarchy IS capitalism. separate the worker from the means of production. siphon off all their labor. control their every move.

NO MORE. we are 50% of the fucking WORLD. I will NOT sit here and let them turn us back into property.

we don’t need to be physically stronger than them. for all of human history, we have ALWAYS augmented our strengths and weaknesses with tools. we don’t need to be stronger than a man. we just need to carry a tool that is.

Marriage doesn’t equal happiness. But I do think it makes people less alone. Women are not property though.

It wasn’t until 1974 that all citizen women in the US had the ability to open a bank account without a man’s signature.

Financial and social freedoms allow women to not depend on men…Who knew???

I can’t imagine being married at age 20-24. I felt like such a kid. Met me right a week before my 24th bday and we married 4 years later.

And freedom.

Since then, women could get credit cards and bank accounts without needing a husband.

Single parenting became normalized and overall, women no longer had to attach themselves to a man to gain value and social standing. They can now get all of that on their own.

Lo and behold, women with rights and freedoms aren’t so eager to marry. Who could have seen that coming?

Seeing some of these comments, I’m not surprised so many young men are going to die alone.

Indiana has a bill taking away no fault divorce, so I’m guessing that marriage rates will plummet soon. Birth rates are about to plummet, also, as they try to make a fucking zygote a human and give it more rights than the full grown person that they inhabit. They want to make abortion a murder charge.

What are the stats for men? If I’m not mistaken, everyone is getting married later these days. And that’s a good thing.

I tell my teen son not to get married unless he wants children and he says no one his age wants children anyway. I ask why and he doesn’t want to go into it. Either gender should wait until they’re at last 30 and get a prenup that spells out what happens if either parent quits their job to care for kids and then get divorced later down the road. Too many self employed people can easily get away with not paying enough child support unless you can afford a lawyer and forensic accountant to prove how much they really earn. If you prove your case, they can fight you to reduce support once a year. Attorneys love it. Justice in family law is only for the rich! I’m in California.

Another issue is the rise in number of heavily disabled children who will never live on their own. The stress tears most marriages apart, siblings suffer and you’ll be a caretaker for the rest of your life. Genetic testing is another must before having children. Then there’s the worsening environment, class and racial divides, lack of support for working parents, etc. It’s no wonder marriage and children are on the decline. It’s too risky for 90% of us.

I don’t understand this idealisation of marriage. Especially this duty yo have kids etc. There’s literally an overpopulation issue of human beings world wide. I applaud single people or people who decide to have no kids.
They are the only people who do right by our planet. They should be given a reward ^^
