Ordinarily, prime-age men are society’s providers, but a steady retreat from the workforce has been underway among this crucial contingent for over half a century. Today work rates for prime-age American men are actually lower than in 1940, when America’s unemployment rate stood at almost 15 percent.
Yes: prime-age American men have a Depression-scale work problem today. But unlike in the Depression, the postwar collapse of work for men has little to do with unemployment per se. Rather, it has been driven by an exodus from the labor force. At the time of writing, for every unemployed prime-age American man looking for a job, there are over four neither working nor looking for work (NILFs: “not in labor force”).
For two generations the flight from work has exhibited uncanny regularity. Six years ago, when my book Men Without Work first appeared, I showed that rising prime-age male NILF rates traced out a near-constant path from 1965 through 2015 — practically a straight line, steadily heading upwards, all but unaffected by business cycles or other notable events. Today, unaccountably, it remains on almost exactly the same trajectory as in 2016: six world-shaking years and one global pandemic later! At present, the prime-age male NILF rate is at three and a half times its 1965 level.
Perimenopause means their vag wall becomes thinner and looser, their sex drive goes way down
An increase in the influence of women in
public life has often been associated with na-
tional decline. The later Romans complained
that, although Rome ruled the world, women
ruled Rome. In the tenth century, a similar
tendency was observable in the Arab Empire,
the women demanding admission to the
professions hitherto monopolised by men.
‘What,’ wrote the contemporary historian,
Ibn Bessam, ‘have the professions of clerk,
tax-collector or preacher to do with women?
These occupations have always been limited
to men alone.’ Many women practised law,
while others obtained posts as university
professors. There was an agitation for the
appointment of female judges, which,
however, does not appear to have succeeded.
Soon after this period, government and
public order collapsed, and foreign invaders
overran the country. The resulting increase
in confusion and violence made it unsafe for
women to move unescorted in the streets,
with the result that this feminist movement
collapsed.

Same, been buying the Japanese version (Kewpie) for the past couple of years and only noticed 2 weeks ago it's soy based too. Going to try to recreate that though, like the yolk version better. I'd think with a little lemon or apple cider vinegar it might last a while in the refrigerator?

By changing her name, the wife, whether intentionally or not, communicates that she is participating in the perpetuation of a reality that connects one generation to another. From time immemorial, fathers have hoped to preserve their legacies through their children and grandchildren — from their wealth and possessions to physical and temperamental qualities. But all that has been manifested most simply in a name. “He comes from a long line of [fill in the last name].”
Of course, to most feminists, that’s the problem. That men resist taking their wives’ names is wrapped up in men’s “egos, ideas about masculinity, family traditions, all kinds of things that are influencing the ways men think about themselves and think about their names in particular,” Princeton historian Tera Hunter explains to WaPo. It represents the legacy of coverture, domestic laws originating in pre-colonial English legal custom, which viewed a married woman’s identity and existence as legally “covered” by her husband.
And yet, if the practice, like so much other dissipating residue of the patriarchy, goes by the wayside, we will be only further intensifying the atomizing tendencies of liberal, global postmodernity. We think jettisoning the final remnants of “chauvinist” power structures will push us ever closer to freedom, but what we are encountering on the other side is deeper loneliness and disconnection. Of course, if the sages of our therapeutic age are correct, we can just fashion our own purpose from the shards of that broken glass ceiling…right?

Wokery, the Marxist campaign to disorder society in order to overthrow existing institutions and replace them with a utopian dictatorship of the intersectionally oppressed — also known as The Revenge of the Losers. Its primary tactic is to normalize mental illness. Wokery is often described as a new kind of religion, but that’s mainly because all of its proffers and principles are irrational, as is characteristic of all religions. Also, as in many religions, Wokery in practice is preoccupied with coercion and punishment — which is natural for a movement based on vengeance — and often to a sadistic degree. It laughs at the idea of redemption. Its adversaries are never forgiven, only dealt additional punishments for asking.
The mystery here is how Wokery was incorporated into the operating system of the Democratic Party. The answer is the party needed something to replace its erstwhile corpus of organized industrial workers, gone with the winds of Globalism, and so it valorized the various categories of the mentally ill, the permanently downtrodden, and sundry persons who had become economic hostages to its corrupt system of payments and grants. High above that ragtag-and-bobtail of crazies reigned an aristocracy of the so-called cognitive elite, people of unquestioned virtue, college professors, the creative class, the credentialed echelon — super-busy signaling their good intentions to their vassals to keep them in line.
Wokery, you may have noticed, is also a “religion” dominated by women, and a particular strain of women: those left grossly disappointed by the promises of feminism in its several iterations, that is, the ideal of having brilliant careers minus family and children — producing an implacable, inchoate, and transmissible rage at the world and a fierce wish-to-punish others not so disposed to Woke dogma. So, it’s no surprise that so much of that dogma emanated from the humanities departments of the universities where such careerist feminist intellectuals flocked and marinated in their disappointments. Thus, too, their avatar: the ever cold-blooded and fiendish Hillary Clinton, forever seeking requital for her life’s losses.
I want him to be fine with no kids, but also to be overjoyed if my 40 year old ass gets pregnant...
I want him to take me away to exotic faraway destinations at least once a year... while we work on paying off (her) debt.
I want him to have a job he enjoys, while making lots of money, but also having only 40 hours a week, maybe a little less.
