  1. The oppression is that they want to have a baby but they are then angry that they have to look after said baby. They want to have their cake and eat it.

  2. When a man and woman get into a relationship both have to sacrifice. Both have to spend less time on their careers and more time on each other. The man may have to sacrifice money by paying for dates, gifts and assets. The woman may have to sacrifice her body and part of her career if she gets pregnant. Whether the women's sacrifice is too much depends on the value she assigns to having kids vs the value she assigns to having a career. If she values career more then probably love is too big a sacrifice. If she values career less then there is less of a sacrifice.

  3. Great comment. I think its easy to complain when you are young and beautiful that you are giving up way too much. But in your 30s as you age and begin to wrinkle and sag then there is a pressure to be nice so you can marry ASAP before you expire. Then the moaning and complaining will restart in her 40s when she wants to file for divorce and take the money, house and kids.

  4. If there is income inequality women can take the employer to an employment tribunal. The reason women don't do this is because the reason some women earn less is because they work part-time or have chosen a lower paid career such as receptionist, admin, cleaning, caring, etc.

  5. Obviously women do sacrifice, just like men sacrifice, but as she said, this is a choice women and men make. You can't have your cake and eat it.

  6. Ask all of Elon Musk's ex-wives and girlfriends. I don't think they are complaining about all the alimony and child support they are being paid each month. Also, their kids have won the genetic lottery too.

  7. She probably has 10k betas paying her £10/month. She probably earns £1.2million/year. She is winning in life (definitely from a financial point of view).

  8. Excellent point. I think around 70% of women who end up childless didn't realize their life was going to end up this way. They had never planned or intended for childlessness. Although I am not sure about what the regret % is. And it is also possible to regret having a child, especially for a man post-divorce who has been parentally alienated and is stuck on 18 years of child support/maintenance for a child he is only allowed to see every other week.

  9. Comments section is undefeated. s/o to all the men of culture. We are very glad OU has no dress code.

  10. She is so far removed because she probably has 10k simps paying her £10/month. She probably earns £1.2million/year and probably gets at least 100 marriage proposals per week on OF and IG. At the end of the day, some people want to have their cake and eat it. I know it sounds delusional but that is how some people get when they are worshipped by tens of thousands of men.

  11. Exactly. Love and relationships is a sacrifice. Both people have to sacrifice their time on their careers in order to spend more time with each other. And a man will have to sacrifice his money, house and kids in family court. The women also makes obvious sacrifices of her body and part of her career if she gets pregnant. Its impossible to get love and relationships for free (there has to be a sacrifice from both parties).

  12. Excellent point. Getting married is a huge sacrifice for the husband. I lost 70% of my assets and money (including my house) in my UK divorce even though my wife earned more and we only had 1 kid. The family court judges are extremely biased (especially the feminist judges). The best a husband will get is a fair divorce settlement (50-50) and the worst he will get is destroyed (70-30). The worst a wife will get is a fair settlement (50-50) and the best she will get is the money, house and kids.

  13. Great comment. Hypergamy and Briffault's law from 1927 are a real thing. Both are discussed in depth in Dr Orion Taraban's book "The value of others" (2024). Its crazy to hear from people who try to marry up and then complain that they are the victims.

  14. There is a lot of research showing that women suffer from more relationship dissatisfaction than man. This is probably begin the statistics that show women are much more likely (70%) to initiate divorce proceedings.
