Actually, the /r/economics/ people pretty much have it down.
The article doesn't touch on subsidies given to single mothers, the disincentive for males to marry, etc.

On first blush, I'd say that there are implicit value judgements on traditional marriage roles that are assumed (in the negative) through out the article.
The other glaring omission is the complete lack of talk about children as the natural consequence of marriage. Questions of permanence and prevalence of marriage matter to the stability of society, but especially as far as the stability of child- goes. I did not see one mention of the good of children mentioned, only a nod to costs of childcare. There was also va glaring omission regarding disincentives to marriage for men in the current market.

This woman is a bitter, neck-bearded misogynist.

Probably a virgin who can't get laid too

She's just making the same argument as all MGTOW's. Now if she then turns around and gets upset at men for not committing, then she's a total hypocrite.

Something tells me if she was living with the proverbial millionaire handyman she would be pushing for marriage. I think she is fine not getting married because she doesn't see the relationship as permanent.

I'm curious, and not at all trolling here... How is she wrong? Aren't those similar reasons a lot of men don't want to get married?

What stands out to me is that she thinks it's such an injustice when I am betting if it was reversed and a woman was taking half of a man's everything she'd be applauded. Feminist reading that are thinking "what a travesty!" while they are lobbying for more ways to screw men in divorces.
But in general I agree with you. What she is saying is what I have heard many a man say.
p3ndulum 10y ago
She's not wrong, I'm just playing off of double-standards, hyperbole and stereotypes.
Which, I guess, makes me the troll.

Haha. I suck at sarcasm.

Meh, it's the internet. It can be super hard to pick up on it here.

THis article rambles and offers up some disconnected assertions without actually making any point. It's a pot-boiler of an article. X number of words, before deadline.
I did enjoy: "Anglo-American law traditionally gave men greater rights than women in marriage". Did it? And in any case, so what? What matters is how it is now, not how it was in some conjectured past.
But what's mainly wrong about it is that it is just bad writing.

I think it's partially because women today don't see being a wife as a noble honor anymore. They strive for careers instead of finding someone to settle down with. Men don't see a point in getting married if they can can get sex out of wedlock and they're worried about losing half of their money. It's funny, TRP has made me have a new respect for religion because it knows how to make marriages work.

I totally agree. Wife/Mother is a career, and like any career, it's work. It's way more fun, at first, to have a career, make money, and have fun casual sex and "long term relationships."
But there's that wall, so the longer you do it, the less chance to be a Wife/Mother. We all makes choices.
As a man with some options, I'm often DTF, but I probably won't commit, or I'll leave at some point. I really do not see the point of weddings and marriage anymore.
If I found a young woman who was good looking and wanted to be a wife and mother, I'd snatch her up quick though. I hear people stay stuff like "how will you know if you're sexually compatible?" and I just think, if she doesn't know what she's doing, I'll teach her.
