Conservatives say men need to stay strong, while the left wants them soft and emotional like women

Er TikTok... bro

"Masculists want the divorce courts to be based on the principle of financial independence of both divorcing partners." What one wants, and what one can have are often not the same. The fact that you assert that men want this clearly shows that this isn't the case. If it were there'd be no need for the conversation. If what you suggest were true, then the majority of these high-earning and highly educated women would be married, or at least in relationships, but that's not what one sees when one even casually glances around the social landscape. Men, in general, don't give a rat's ass about a woman's education or financial status. Divorce court and the subsequent alimony payments that overwhelmingly go from men to women demonstrate that some woman who FIP up, as you put it doesn't mean diddly-squat. If you've got evidence to the contrary, I'd be happy to consider it.

@ArgonRaysabre: I see where he's coming from, but the majority of men I think don't care. I mean I want a woman educated enough o r artistically talented enough that I can have conversations with, but she still has to be sexy enough to "inspire me" you know my creativity and yeah, turn me on: I come to realize that this only exists as a pipe dream unless The Gods actually provide me with one.
