Spot on.

It's only since women have been conditioned to be non submissive, low value and attitude filled that it has become necessary for men to learn to override this default setting for their own protection.

There is one more thing, that is culture-independent and has been with us since the dawn of human race. Women are impervious to civilization. They don't have a neural representation for a "word of honor" - and this alone might summarize the core differences between man and woman.

They had always needed constant external means of helping, or forcing them to keep within society.

@adam-l Don't forget to add that all the chemo has lowered your immunity and your chlamydia has flared up again.

@Bozza she abducts your kids away, sets up house fucking with another man, takes 70% of your wage as child support...

Pro tip on how to get rid of your borderline ex:

Disappear for a week.

Shave your hair and brows.

When she asks what's up tell her that your urinary tract cancer has been a bitch, but you are doing much better after the chemotherapy, and you can't wait to get rid of it and catch up with her.

I'll join the sceptics, on this.

Some men (most?) eventually want children. I personally don't, but I understand them. And the fact is that with the "women first" societal trope, they are more likely to end up trying to protect their children from being devoured from their mother, than coasting in life.

Up to recently men thought they could just grab the wheel of the racing car and be a pilot. Now, they are beginning to realize the need to establish safety, first and foremost. That's legit.

Attractive women have an expiry date.

Their self-worth and their personality (more accurately, what women have as a stand-in for it) crumbles together with their attractiveness.

Even hard Trumpists in my country have trouble stomaching this move.

Trump might believe that diplomacy is finished, and raw power is the way to go... but as long as China doesn't think so, Trump might have a problem. "The Chinese will fuck you harder" is not a way to appoach international alliences. There's a limit to how reckless you can be till others start to think that they are better off away from you.

@Vermillion-Rx I'm pretty sure that's exactly why the US is attacking it, out of genuine care for the Venezuelan people.
