the incentive for marriage is gone
they duped men over "love and commitment" for decades. now, men see marriage for the business contract that it is
It was always business contract hence the reason for arranged marriages and the fact people placed into slavery could not legally marry therefor could not obtain property or acquire wealth since "property cannot own property." Today's men are not responsible. Only difference in today's society is that they aren't forced to marry since they have access to higher salaries, ownership etc so they don't rely on marriage for economic stability. Thank the Victorian era for this crazy system. Also remember that most divorces are filed by women and that since 1990 the age 50-65 divorce rate has more than doubled, meaning older women are not sticking in for the long hall. I remember shooting one of my great aunt's 50th wedding anniversary and she having the poo poo face the entire time, especially when we had all the kids (including the outside child and her grand children) in the photo. She also told my baby cousin to enjoy her youth and just keep a dog as a pet if she is ever lonely.
