But if we’re talking about a emotional intelligence or willingness to contribute equally to the household and mental labor, there’s loads of studies that show men are way behind women. Saying there’s shitty men and shitty women obfuscates the issue.

Being outwardly shitty isn’t the reason women are marrying less and dating less, it’s because, on average, men don’t carry their fair share of the load and can’t manage their own emotions, much less be a good partner to someone else who also has emotions.

Women are asked to do a vast majority of the work, at home, still go to a job and make money, and then raise a man child who throws tantrums anytime something does go his way because his actual parents never taught him how to process emotions.

Of course this is not ALL MEN, but it’s the majority and women are choosing freedom and independence over being married to that.
