"Remember also that these are not good times for having children in
America. It is almost irresponsible. The schools are scholastically
poor, drug-ridden, given chiefly to political indoctrination, and
hostile to male children. The universities are little better. Divorce
is hell on children and their fathers, and nearly universal. The
country lunges to police-statedom and isn't, I suspect, as stable as
it might be. Worse, worst, there [are feminists like] Susan Reimer.
Her name is legion, and she seeps everywhere, like the effluvium of
unwashed socks.
Further, there is no social duty to have children. Some argue that the
white population is in decline. Tough. If the country chooses to make
having kids undesirable, then let it decline. It is not your problem."
Good stuff. Check it out.
Column "Why Not to Get Married"
Dalton
Sounds more like "Why Not to Have Children," since not all married people
breed and way too many unmarried people do.
Morwen
It's when chydrun are factored into the equation.....that's when the
major problems and tremendous unhappiness occur.
Not every marriage revolves around creating crotch dumplings.
As ever,
Matt
Well, there is if you don't like having to be around someone a large
chunk of your time for the rest of your life.

Check out the article: that's his big point!
Dalton
His big point was about marriage ruining your life as though children and
marriage were the exact same thing. Avoiding marriage doesn't have to
mean avoiding having kids. He should be advocating that all men get
vasectomies or never have sex again. That's the only thing that'll fix
the problems he talked about.

Actually -- no, it isn't. If you read the column, "his big point" is
that most American women have "The Chip," i.e., they have a low opinion
of men in general ...
[quote]"Other than a 29-inch waist and a full head of hair, there isn't
much to recommend the twentysomething male…He is living an extended
adolescence -- an adult-olescence -- and every immature, irresponsible,
self-absorbed thing he does is reinforced by the latest issue of his
favorite men's magazine." (Susan Reimer, a columnist for the Baltimore
Sun. I bet she goes out a lot.)*
Hers is the Attitude--and what they think of you. It is the defining
trait of American women. Exceptions exist, and they have my apologies,
but they are few and no, sport, your Sally probably isn't one of them.
They're coiled to bite. As soon as problems arise in the marriage, they
turn into Susan.
Susan Reimer is what is out there, guys: bitter that no one wants her
(as who in his right mind could?), sure that no one is good enough for
her, never having grasped that those who would be loved must first be
lovable. Understand this: Susan is America. Some hide it better,
springing it on you after the ceremony, but Susan is the rule.
The Susans do not like men. Sometimes they actually take courses in
disliking men ("Women's Studies"). Yet they want to marry one and have
babies. For them, the contradiction actually makes a kind of sense,
because (and they know this, believe me) they will get the house, the
children, and the child support. For you, it makes no sense. You will
get raped in the divorce courts. You don't know how bad it is. Don't do it.

Now, you might well wonder, why are American women carrying the Chip?
Practically, it doesn't matter: They do carry it, and will continue.
Still, it is partly because from birth they are fed the notion that they
have been oppressed, battered, cheated, deprived, harassed, used as sex
objects, not used as sex objects, on and on. Being rational, you are
perhaps inclined to point out that never has a female population been
less any of these things, but don't bother. It will have no effect. The
Chip is an emotional artifact to which they respond emotionally.

That last paragraph sounds like somebody we know, actually ...

Read the column and the big point that I got was not to get married
(hence the title "Why Not to Get Married") and the big reason not to
is that you ('you' being a short-sighted male) get fucked sideways
come divorce time.
> That last paragraph sounds like somebody we know, actually ...
Is Kendricks back?! Oh YES! Funny, I don't remember killfiling him--he
was funny enough to read. His big beef is with religious types, if'n
I'm remembering correctly.

No, I had somebody female in mind.
