Well, good for you for taking care of sick family members, but statistically that thankless task usually falls on women. And there's a study that shows more husbands leave their wives when they become seriously sick (cancer) than vice versa.

@markaurelius61 If even a study doesn't convince you . . . nothing will. Women are far more often the one caring for a spouse until they die. That's why fewer widows want to remarry - they already nursed a dying man and it's hard hard work. They aren't up for another round.

HOW do you manage to leave out the fact that for eons, most women were PREGNANT or GIVING BIRTH every 2 years or RAISING CHILDREN? Or DYING in childbirth? You act like the women were doing nothing but consuming a man's resources. And I haven't even mentioned the housework and cooking, nor that women were excluded from education and high-paying positions for most of history. Why would men complain about supporting women when they were the ones excluding women from careers and the ones getting them pregnant? That does not correlate to the position high-earning women find themselves in with lower-earning men. The men are not risking their lives or health in childbearing or child rearing. Maybe he's contributing some housework and cooking. I have nothing against high-earning women being in relationships with lower-earning men, but your example is inaccurate. I have a family member who is a high-earning woman and she decided to have a baby on her own. Her reason was NOT because the men she met were low-earners. Her issue was that they acted like children rather than adults.

@logicwins3492 She's a wonderful and kind person THAT YOU DON'T KNOW. She didn't date men for several years because no one was appealing, so no one ran away. She's got a level head on her shoulders and she's a happy person. Stats on single mothers have historically featured women with little education that live in poverty. We don't yet have stats on high-earning educated mothers. They raise their children in completely different circumstances. Her child has a wonderful life and home and will have opportunities that a child growing up in poverty doesn't have.

@natrone23 She didn't date because no one appealed to her. No, she doesn't have "issues". She's one of the most stable people you'd ever meet, yet also cheerful. She worked her ass off to get where she is. You guys love the thought of her being miserable - I hate to disappoint you, but she's happy.

Good lord. High-earning women aren't letting their homes go to hell in a hand basket. 🙄 Nor does earning a high salary mean a woman is not fit, attractive, empathetic, or altruistic. I don't think you actually know any of these women. They are people - not cartoon villains.

@thecurrentmoment Her understanding of corporate accounting or (insert professional skill here) PAYS HOUSEHOLD BILLS.

@advhawk6455 Being a woman, I know more about them than you can. This channel isn't for men to learn about women as humans. It's about providing men with a simplistic formula that they will try to shoehorn every woman and relationship situation into. I talked about my high-earning female relative here who had a child, and got a bunch of men thinking they know more about her than I do. They wanted her to fit their red pill script so badly. Saw another example. There was a 36-year-old woman who cried on social media about never having a baby because she couldn't afford another round of IVF and the door was closing. A bunch of red pill men piled on and taunted her, saying it was her fault because she waited too long. The backstory was that she had married young and struggled with infertility. She and her husband did IVF and had embryos ready to implant, and then they divorced. Her ex-husband didn't want her to use their embryos and they were destroyed. So because those red pill men follow their narrative and apply it to women they don't even know, they heaped cruelty on this woman who has suffered from infertility since she was young. Nice job guys.

@fromgermany271 That's a personal anecdote. There will always be outliers - your ex-wife's behavior was not the norm.

Pure baloney. Many many many women have zero problems being alone. We have more friends on average.

@lightworker2956 My point is that his example doesn't make sense. That flew right over your head. I don't know what point you're trying to make about biology sucking either. The doctor tried to say that men didn't mind giving women their resources as if the women were contributing nothing. The women were literally risking their lives in childbirth. The death rate to bear a child was very high for most of history.

@michaelpaniagua2836 She's not going after the top 5% of men. She isn't concerned with "standing out" because she isn't looking for anyone in the first place. Her mother also lives with her (big house) and they are super close. So there are two of them to take care of the child. They have a lot of fun and it's a happy home. And she does not have that selfish attitude about money. No married woman in my family has ever separated her earnings from her husband. You guys have a narrative that you stick to even when it doesn't apply. As for men in history, most men wanted and needed children to work the farm if they were farmers - not having children was economically disadvantageous. Rich men wanted children to inherit what they had and keep the property through generations. Wealth and property was a family matter. That's why men got married historically.

@advhawk6455 Your wife had ideas that keeping the house going was toxic, but MOST women take care of stuff and more often than men do. Why does your body count come into it?

@nickg2431 If she doesn't share her money with her husband, she is the wrong woman. Period. No woman in my family has ever kept her money separate.
2
@nickg2431 Yes. We're supposed to take care of each other when we're married.

@markaurelius61 A lot of doctors and nurses have also observed what the study says. The only time the ratio narrows is when you look at very long marriages.

@lightworker2956 Why do you think a 60-year-old woman can't have fun in life? That's really weird.

@marcuscole1994 Does not line up with reality. There are so many studies showing women do better emotionally on their own than men do.

@logicwins3492 One more thing. I grew up in a two-parent house with a father who was verbally, emotionally, and physically abusive toward my mother. She was beloved by everyone and beautiful, sweet-natured, and artistically talented. No one deserves to be abused, least of all her. My father also scapegoated my brother and used to put him down and punish him harshly. We begged my mother to get a divorce, but she was a stay-at-home mother for many years and couldn't afford to leave. She finally got a job that paid well enough to leave when I was nearly 20. I can assure you that my highly paid female relative who chose to have a child on her own, has created a far better environment for her child than I had.

@thecurrentmoment The red pill is faulty in that it assumes all high-earning women insist on marrying a man that is even HIGHER-earning. No doubt there is a sub-set of women who think that way, but I think they're a minority. That type of woman is more likely to live in a highly competitive environment where wealth is the norm among their peers. For the past 20 years or so, we have switched to "assortative mating" - equally high-earning professional men and women are marrying each other and they have a low divorce rate. Whereas it used to be that high-earning men married women of lower earning power. The women who are not getting married as much, and have higher divorce rates, are women with less education or earnings. This flies in the face of what the red pill says and it's been documented to pieces. I don't understand why this well-known fact seems to be invisible to the red pills. Looking at the studies, a young woman would conclude that pursuing success pays off. It's also insurance that if she doesn't marry, she won't end up impoverished. Add to this the economic situation where everything is more and more expensive. I always laugh when red pills say THEY aren't impressed by her earnings. Well, she is earning for HER OWN well-being and to expect her to be okay with ending up as a bag lady if the romance thing doesn't happen is bonkers. This is not to say I have any issue with trad wives. That is a valid lifestyle too. Everyone should run their lives however they want to. But women do worry about being dependent on a man and how poor they will end up if the marriage doesn't work out or if he dies.
