Does anyone else here sometimes feel that society basically exists to suppress men's interests to benefit women?
After having read books like "The Manipulated Man," it's hard not to think this way.
Basically, it looks to me like the way society works is this:
There are two groups of (adult) people in society, men and women. A man's biggest priority is generally to be successful in a career, to change the world in some way by means of his work, or at least rise above his competitors in said work. A woman's main priority on the other hand is generally caring for the young, which naturally means that marriage is a higher priority for her than it is for a man.
Naturally women want men to be good providers for their children. So as a condition of getting married, women usually demand that men have a certain type of career: well paying, stable, with payouts for the wife should the husband die early, etc. So immediately men with creative ambitions or men with entrepreneurial ambitions that may not pan out, are at a disadvantage.
So far, you might say, this is no big deal... Just don't get married if you don't want to live up to women's expectations.
The only problem is that women have got a whole cottage industry of white knights, manginas, simps and COCKHOLDS working for them, trying to essentially shame men into marriage. Case in point, pic related. They'll say things like "man up," "abandon your dreams," and "reduce yourself to a walking husk of a human being for your future wife's benefit, it's the least you can do." But what they really believe in is MALE ENSLAVEMENT.
As anyone who posts on r9k knows, there actually do exist women who view men as property and wish to enslave men. This is fact. The only thing they're leaving out is that they actually have an entirely viable means with which to enslave men, that being 21st century marriage with no-fault divorce and massively female-biased divorce courts.
And they wonder why marriage rates are plummeting.
