I like how many women are attacking this comment. This is literally what feminists fought for. Equality in the workforce. You no longer hear women say "I just need to get my MRS degree." Instead, women are more career focused this day and age. I think this comment, while it can come off as sexist, is partially correct. The 1950's notion of gender roles has somewhat shifted toward equality. It's extremely difficult to start a family if both partners are working 60 hrs a week.


the parts people are taking issue with are the ridiculous generalizations that young women aren't interested in serious relationships, etc. the parent comment's perspective comes off as judgemental and paternalistic, especially "I don't like one night stands and whatnot, and don't go to bars or clubs" okay? i have a hard time believing that no women in brazil want a stable relationship and a family.

it's also possible to go out to clubs, have one night stands, and want a stable relationship and family too!! imagine that.


I wrote that to explain that I am not a "PUA"

If you get labelled as "PUA" or "MRA" or "MTGOW" or "KIA" or "GG" or some other labels I see thrown around, people seemly are more quick to dismiss whatever you wrote for any reason.

I wanted to be clear, I am not one of those.
