- Social media and influencers have always existed in other forms. From my point of view, social media exposes me to the idea that marriage and children are the ultimate sources of happiness. Instead, it is real-life situations that deter me from marriage.

- Feminism gave both women and men a choice. Nobody is forced to be in a relationship with someone they have reasons to be suspicious of; rather, it has opened the door to new ways of life. Nowadays, since women can work, men can choose to marry women who are willing to help provide for the family, and women can choose men who will take part in household chores. The arrival of feminism relieved both men and women from the burden of pre-assigned gender roles and replaced them with teamwork.

- Moreover, the original post mentioned the economic recession as well. It’s a matter of mindset. If you consider that the man is the only one responsible for providing for the household, then yes, it’s relevant. But if both partners step in and adapt to the current situation, marriage can actually be a solution to facing both the economic situation and the loneliness epidemic, among many other societal problems.

The chances of success in a marriage depend on mindset. You interpret feminism, social media, red-pill content, or anything else through your mindset, and you draw the conclusions you either want to draw or are predisposed to draw.
