Underlying the original tweet, is a denial of the fact that women, as a group, are fundamentally incompetent in the 3d meatspace. Men, as a group, are competent in the realm of 3d meatspace. The reason society asks men to do things like go to war and die, is because it is sometimes necessary for people to fight and die to preserve a society. And if that is necessary, competence is required. Women, being incompetent, are not asked to bear that burden.
In the past, women birthed many children because a man with agency and competence found some woman and impregnated her. She often had little, or at least less of a, say in the matter. We have divorced ourselves from our biological realities, stuck our fingers in our ears and covered our eyes, and gave women an equal amount of power in the matters that actually matter. So now we struggle with problems that do not need to be problems.

I am skeptical about the thought of raising a child without a mother in the home.

...men who no longer exist and do not complain about this topic today (or maybe they do in their nursing homes). I guess I don't get your point. Because some people were shitty back then it justifies other people doing shitty things today?

No drugs? That's no fun. I'd swap that for "nice to me".

Would you say that those men were acting in a noble and becoming manner? If yes, good riddance to you. If not, then you should ponder why you feel the need to giggle about men (who have never lived in that world or acted in that way) getting a taste of medicine.

Absolutely seeing this trend. It's happened to me and many of my male friends and acquaintances. Best friend's wife of 15 years left out of the blue, zero reasons given aside from a comment of "you're too negative". Another friend's wife decided she was a lesbian, having been married to a him for 10+ years. I was engaged to be married and the woman decided she wasn't attracted to me, after being together for years.
Fundamentally, I think there is a "Netflix" mindset going on. Like how you turn on Netflix, scroll through the shows and maybe something catches your eye for a minute so you watch the intro. But then the actors or soundtrack kind of annoys you or whatever, so you just go back to scrolling for another show. This has permeated the culture. We are all about quick dopamine reward. Our media consumption is short form, endlessly scrolling, outrageous by necessity. Women feel this in particular as massive consumers of social media, and they are also fed vastly different content on these platforms than men. They're validated endlessly and gassed up. They are told, and they know, they can get a man at any moment, and so they seek the neurochemical hit and then discard quickly as soon as it becomes real, in search of the next hit.
It's fundamentally broken. I'm a 36 year old man, have been in several long term relationships, most recent one ended a while back after she became physically abusive to me. I started dating earlier this year and it's been disgusting. I used to want a wife and a family but I have given up on that dream.
Considering a vasectomy. Actually have the appointment set. Looking for the experiences of others.
