Jesse is right that marriage is no longer necessary or particularly valuable. That is true for both men and women. Maybe more men recognize that than women or maybe women do get more out of traditional relationships than men do. But, Feminism is not the cause of this change, though I think it’s fair to say that both feminism and the structure of modern relationships share a COMMON cause, namely a more liberal and rational, secular society.. That change is a good thing for those who thrive in those environments. Not everyone does.

Marriage was a great institution for a time that valued stability and accountability for children, accountability meaning you couldn’t have deserted children living on their own, roaming the streets. Society once deemed marriage was the only acceptable way to have offspring. Then few chose to have children outside of marriage — there was a societal installed stigma against it, reinforced by having your children stingingly refered to as bastards.
The original concept of marriage — societal stability and accountability for children — is still viable. Otherwise society picks up the slack for raising all of the unwanted and uncarted for children. However, society is on a bender that started in the 60?s when everything became open for re-examination. (This bender may last 500 years for all we know.) My premise is that Marriage as it stands now has been re-examined and modified by the law profession and feminists, in a way that it no longer serves men. Whether or not marriage, as it was defined in the past, was a bad deal for women is not at issue today. The problem today is that now marriage is a bad deal for men. And they know it.
