Dating in the Stone Age

February 9th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Culture, Dating, Feminism, Health, Politics, Sex

Your required-reading for the day: Charlotte Allen writes a lengthy essay on the modern, singles scene in the West, which she, perhaps ironically, believes is a throwback to tens of thousands of years ago as a result of feminism; technology; game-playing, Alpha males; sexually-liberated, successful women; ignored, Beta males; delayed marriage; extended adolescence; and a hook-up culture.

Here are my thoughts on the same subject.

    On the one hand, she’s talk­ing about how the “college-educated” are the ones lead­ing this debauch­er­ous rev­o­lu­tion; on the other, she’s say­ing mar­riage is safest in the shrink­ing class of the “college-educated.” Just one of many flaws with the rea­son­ing and, indeed, the whole argu­ment that fem­i­nism or women’s lib is the root of all problems.

    I do, how­ever, agree with the author on one point: “Roissy’s blog is an unflinch­ing look at female nature at its very worst: the acquis­i­tive­ness, the nar­cis­sism, the self-absorption, the self­ish­ness, the super­fi­cial­ity, the brain­less­ness, the way­ward lust as pow­er­ful as any man’s.”

    I’d expand, that, how­ever, to include men.

    I’m not throw­ing stones here – every­one has their fail­ings – but mod­ern Amer­i­can soci­ety cel­e­brates hedo­nism, and hedo­nism was, accord­ing to some, the down­fall of Rome.

    Just sayin’.  (Quote)
