Article here. An interview with Bettina Arndt. Excerpt:

'Marriage has become a "dud deal" for men, says Bettina Arndt.

Gone are the times when men would be thanked for their hardwork - where leisure time was their own and sex was a "wifely duty".

Now, according to Bettina Arndt, "many men find themselves grovelling for sex or having sex handed out like meaty bites to a dog".

She says modern marriage demands more from men and rewards them less. Plus, the threat of divorce looms larger than ever with women's expectations on the rise.

"The risk of divorce is another really important issue - the fact that marriage is a really risky deal for men because they stand to lose an awful lot if the marriage goes wrong," she says.'
