I broke down and watched a ROMCOM with my wife last night. It was released in 2018. We both agreed that it would not be made the same today, and that in a few short years the feminists have seemed to advance their war on traditional gender relationships and succeeded in blowing it to smithereens.

I have two sons in their late 20s and early 30s. They are educated, good looking, caring and thoughtful. They both have good jobs. They both had girlfriends in high school. One had a relationship in college. But today both are single and not dating. They frankly see the female dating pool as having been infected with some type of mental disorder. They are completely unsure of gender norms and relationships rules. They see females as being unreasonable in their expectations and have just decided to check out and hang with their male friends instead.
This is not good. I don't know what the solution is, but something has to change.
I have a son in college. He already has this view "They frankly see the female dating pool as having been infected with some type of mental disorder." Early bloomer I guess or just it all happened at the same time to all North American women about a decade ago.
I am SO happy I wasn't born in this century. OMG. And, if they "enjoy" a longer life, they have to put up with this crap for longer. Noooooop.
Hey Penny: Apparently you aren't familiar with current 3rd/4th-wave gender feminism. I may not have called it a mental disorder but it is deeply, deeply confused, misandrist, and utterly unmoored to biological reality. It's not "misogyny" to point that out.
I went to college in the 90s (thank God) but the beginning of these attitudes from women about “dating like the guys do” was already creeping in. Only I observed this: none of the women were happy when they were hooking up. They were all looking for someone. They would sit around the apartment and wait for the guys to call them blame the guys when they didn’t. I’m far from perfect but I thought it was stupid and completely reactionary to what the men were doing. It made no sense. Also the “I hate men” narrative is so corrosive because it teaches women to vilify a guy’s every move and takes away their own agency.
The most mature and successful women I knew never participated in hookup culture and found stable and loving partners. But this was considered prudish behavior or that the young women were religious.
I’ve worked for many years now and definitely saw my share of piggish behavior from men, but I’ve also seen the same from women.
We don't teach it. It is their world. It took me a long time to realize it. I don't even understand it. What do I know about college women in the year 2021????? You missed the point. These "creeps" don't seem to WANT to "date" anyone's daughter. And I am not surprised, even though I can only guess at the reality of it all.
Pull out the "misogyny" card again. That is always good for a laugh. At you.
re: mental disorder. Perfect description. It's not "misogyny" when it's a fact. I'm twice-divorced, with two sons near thirty. Neither has a girlfriend, and believe me, despite the best efforts of my married friends to "fix me up," I'd sooner sleep with a rattlesnake. It's simply too dangerous for a man - young or old - to "date" these days. If some casual sex partner decides ten years later that she now remembers the encounter as regretful, you get your rump hauled into court for The Inquisition. And then there's the prodigious divorce-threat to your finances. No thanks. I'm too old to sleep in my car.
I have too many other fish to fry to waste my time hunting for a partner. There's porn everywhere. If your libido needs tending, the porno girls are prettier, they never say no, and they won't come back on you years later. What's not to like?
Yikes...that's one way to feed/perpetuate the problem, I suppose..."porno girls are pretteir, they never say no, and they won't come back on you years later." What's not to like? Well, you, Mr. Wills. I hate to be the one to shatter your fantasy, but your pretty porno girls don't like you, either... because they aren't "real", nor is your capacity to connect with other humans who are just as hurt and frustrated as you are. Tragic, really...you might not be sleeping in your car, but you will be sleeping alone. Oh, sorry, not alone...you will have your phone, after all.
My two sons have college trust funds, which started out very small but have never used, so they have accumulated considerably in the past thirty years. The trusts were protected from my two divorces, much to my wives' dismay, and I have advised my sons to make CERTAIN that a pre-nup is in place should they ever be foolish enough to marry. Both understand and have agreed. Heed the words of Rod Stewart, "If I ever decide to marry again, I'll just find a woman I don't like and buy her a house."
Be careful with Trust accounts as the Courts made 3 on me, one with my Mother's WILL plus they set one up after I died and even used that money for every one else. The next one when my Farm was sold and took that money from me in another Trust Account and the 3rd one was when my inherited family home was sold to put me out on to the Street. And WILLS are not your property in Canada.
You are describing a form of depopulation. The survivors will come from the women who have children, be they of the single parent variety or the traditionally minded.

I've seen it in teaching my university classes, and then gone home to see my three young sons, and felt deeply concerned and saddened.

The Courts took me back 30 yrs to be 18 again, with no family all taken away. Starting over again after 13 yrs in Court is not a happy time.

Really sorry, man. It's not that bad here yet. But we're getting there.

It is not good as a husband-wife partnership is proven superior in economic and social outcomes.
