Just Say "No!" To Marriage?

Here's an essay by Carey Roberts on men who are postponing marriage or flat out deciding against it. This social development may continue to grow, even as courts are forced to recognize a few of men's and fathers' rights. It's gonna be hard to get the genie back in the bottle, now that men are realizing that they can get most if not all of the benefits of marriage without tying the knot.

If and when we add safe, efficient, easily reversed male birth control to our cultural soup (and that ingredient may be tossed in soon), we're likely to see a further collapse in fertility rates. More and more men may opt out of having children -- something that was once a difficulty that also brought great joy and fulfillment but that many men now see as a one-way ticket to wage slavery.

It's taken men 10,000 years to build the comfort, health, and long lives that so many enjoy today. It may well take feminism 1% of that much time to destroy it all.
