Men born in the 21st Century have an incredibly difficult uphill battle in front of them in face of a liberal establishment that has declared outright war. One of the key components of this war is the use of feminism as a tool to steal hard earned assets away from men so they can be redistributed to women (and to the government). This has been an ongoing scheme for decades under divorce law, which has led to a steep and dangerous decline in marriages and nuclear families.
In the past five years, men's movements have quietly but effectively begun opting out of the current paradigm. What some groups call the "red pill" or the "manosphere" is really just an effort to rebalance the scales to counter a system designed to neuter them. The rise of feminist narcissism among modern women has created a cancer within western society, and every aspect of social and political reform has been adjusted to cater to these radical women.
Yet another example of this trend is brewing in the UK, where lawmakers are proposing the most dramatic reforms to family law in decades. Liberal Democrats want the enforcement of "cohabitation laws" which would essentially treat any couple living together for more than three years as if they are married.
At present, unmarried people who live together don't have many specific rights around finances, property or their children if their relationship breaks down. This could soon change. In England and Wales, there are around 3.5 million couples who are not married or in a civil partnership but live together long-term, known as cohabiting.
These couples could soon fall under similar laws as those who are married as part of a government consultation that has divided opinions. Under the new plans, unmarried couples could gain rights to bring financial claims if they separate.
The problem is, the UK has a 42% divorce rate and 65% of those separations are initiated by women. Furthermore, in 89% of all divorces, men are required to pay alimony, child support and give up a large portion of their pre-existing assets. There is little doubt that the same rules will apply to unmarried couples who break up.
Critics argue that the laws are yet another weapon to squeeze men, stealing their livelihood and labor. And, another tool for giving women more political power and dominance in relationships. If women have all the financial leverage, then men can never truly fulfill their role as head of the household. Instead, they become pay-pigs and slave labor, ever fearful that their homes, their children and their savings will be taken away from them.
Long term live-in relationships have acted as a viable alternative for many men seeking to avoid marriage contracts and the risk of divorce. However, if cohabitation laws are put in place, men will have to avoid allowing women to live with them at all. It is as if leftists are attempting to close one of the few remaining loopholes benefiting men.
Women used to rely on their husbands to protect and provide, but feminism has replaced husbands with governments and corporations. Through DEI hiring practices, divorce law, unfair college admissions and scholarships, etc., these entities take from men to artificially elevate women, making marriage increasingly obsolete.
Men have responded with brutal efficiency. In the span of only a few years, women are discovering the well of available suitors has gone dry. Ladies looking for "high value" partners willing to get married are hitting a brick wall. Surveys now project that 45% of all women ages 25 - 44 in the US will be single and childless by 2030. The female loneliness epidemic has already started.
The reason? Political divides are one cause, but the behavior of feminists in general has led to their downfall. That is to say, for men the juice is no longer worth the squeeze. Over 50 years ago, getting married had benefits; women used to be homemakers and nurturers of family. Today, many women believe that they don't need to bring anything to the table; simply allowing men to toil in their presence is treated as a privilege.
This attitude has ripped a hole in modern relationships and men are walking away en masse.
With 50% of marriages ending in divorce, marriage has become a get rich quick scheme rather than a lifelong partnership built on mutual respect. Cohabitation would expand this poisonous habit to the extreme. Men will be targeted relentlessly. More and more of them are pushing for prenup agreements, and it is unlikely that many will accept the idea of paying out of pocket every time a woman wants to cut ties.
The laws would also, ostensibly, apply to same sex couples and in some cases women may have to pay, but these cases will be rare. As usual, the goal is to stifle and control men through their bank accounts.
