Marriage, just don't

What an epic post; thanks for linking it. It reminds me a lot of Roissy's blog, which while mostly about dating has some very good posts on society in general.
As to the contents, there are still many good, traditional women who are worth marrying, but many of them get married young and they are definitely in the minority. Most women nowadays are great for dating, not for marriage.
I had a look through the blog and could of course present counter arguments, but let me instead add some fuel to your fire. I very rarely hear men berating their wives/girlfriends in public (socially taboo) but have frequently witnessed women berating their husbands/boyfriends. Perhaps it is just that the world accepts that she has no muscle to back up her dominant/aggressive behavior, but itâs ugly nevertheless.
There are certainly plenty of them around. Many young men have had their ball sack removed, to ensure that they would never challenge a female's crap... great little system these bitches have created for themselves... it's a win-win.
Ridiculously misogynistic bullshit.
There are just as many stupid and badly behaved men as there are women.
And as far as intelligence and perseverance goes... I know a woman who invented several new superconducting materials by doing copious amounts of research and making logical connections that no one had ever made before.
You know a women...
There are always exceptions to the rule, so what?
I could go on and on describing the many women that I know who lead impressive and responsible lives. Women who don't scam money, sleep around or take unfair advantage. In short, women with strong moral values.
But I doubt that there is any point since you guys have already made up your minds.
If anyone is guilty of using the well-chosen example, it's the blog poster who cherry picks very worst examples. Seriously, exactly what percentage of all women do you think end up passed out drunk in Tijuana? And do you really think that more women then men drink until they pass out in the street? Or is it just more acceptable when a man does it?
I think that media portrayals of women are a big part of the problem. Almost everything the blog poster pointed to was a media portrayal. Those are going to naturally be extremely negative, because extremes generate more interest and sell more advertising.
While it's true that in some cases the pendulum has swung too far (divorce court, child support), in other cases in hasn't swung far enough (equal pay for equal work).
Of course there are always those who will take advantage in any way that they can. But this is equally true of men. It's simply not credible to say say that women, as whole, are worse than men, as whole, in any regard.
