| Not Enough Sex? Stop Having Threesomes With the Government |
| 2017-07-20 |
| h/t Instapundit Everyone who has tried them tells me threesomes are difficult. And anyone can imagine that threesomes with the government are the most difficult of all. Suddenly it’s no longer a matter of whose elbow is in whose eye, but a matter of whose legal rights are getting stripped, which way the courts lean, and who is likely to lose his parental privileges and, likely, his liberty or at the very least his wealth. Which is why I find it absurdly rich of CNN (All the news fit to fake) to wonder why American couples are having less sex than they were 20 years ago. The article disingenuously roots around for an answer (so to put it, to coin a phrase) and comes up with several. It’s not that they’re wrong ‐ precisely ‐ it’s more that they determinedly ignore what is at the back of those obvious causes of the ‐ ah ‐ dry spell enveloping Americans. ...As for the why of psychological conditions, let me see: courts incredibly biased in favor of women in both custody and divorce proceedings have made a mockery of the "equal rights" of a couple. At the same time everything from entertainment to the news to political campaigns (I’m looking at you Hillary) have managed to turn American women into the unhappiest, most privileged and dissatisfied minority in the world. American women who are favored in everything from hiring to promotion to marriage to--well, everything ‐ due to subtle and blunt governmental pressure, are daily bombarded with the idea they’re downtrodden, mistreated and live in a patriarchy. And no matter how hard those of us who grew up abroad roll our eyes, some number of them will believe it. Obviously, CNN has no idea why this type of disparate treatment and gaslighting should interfere in the intimate relationships between human beings. The rest of us have a brain. |

| #3 Marriage, probably not the cure: The reason Mayberry was so peaceful and quiet was because nobody was married. Andy, Aunt Bea, Barney, Floyd, Howard, Goober, Gomer, Sam, Earnest T Bass, Helen, Thelma Lou, Clara and, of course, Opie were all single. The only married person was Otis, and he stayed drunk. |

| #1 This is an ongoing trend in the western world. It is men who are turning away. Men will be men and the natural way of things have changed. Too much to say here but it is a very real trend. The most common response of men I have found is that "women are crazy". The more you do for them the more unhappy they become. So men adapt. They play video games. They work many hours. In those worlds, sanity can be maintained. Then I just realized that if you don't have that luxury the gang family is a real choice for many men in the urban environment. Where you learn a new language of ebonics. Where you learn other basic survival skills. Making it very difficult to break free of the only life you know. Society is destroying family, culture, religion, the very basic building blocks of a stable society. |
