Columnist Warns That the Constant Anti-Marriage Agitation from the Communist/Nihilist/Anti-Natalist Left is Leaving Women Lonely, Sad, and Bitter

But that's the entire point.

Since the 1920s, it has been the goal of communists to destabilize western societies and immiserate them so that the public would accept the idea of burning it all down and letting the bloody-minded lunatics of the left further degrade and destroy civilization.

Communists realized the "workers' were just too satisfied in western capitalist societies to support communism.

So they set about changing that.


A growing anti-marriage movement is being fueled by viral TikTok trends and high-profile celebrities painting men as the enemy, but according to a new column, women may ultimately be the ones losing out.

In a USA Today op-ed, columnist Ingrid Jacques warned of a rising wave of "heteropessimism," defining it as women's growing feelings of disappointment and antagonism toward relationships with men. She argued that viral trends like "divorce glow-ups" and anti-male literature have actively widened the divide between the sexes.

"Studies show that married women are not only happier but also live longer and earn more than their single counterparts," Jacques wrote on Tuesday.

...


The trend coincides with falling US marriage and birth rates. Official US Census Bureau data from December shows that just 47% of American households in 2025 were married couples, down from nearly 66% 50 years ago.

Of those married households, only 37% included their own children under age 18, compared to 54% in 1975.

Jacques linked the shift directly to liberal ideology, noting that left-leaning Americans choose to opt out of traditional family lifestyles "far more often than conservatives."

"Wherever you look these days, women who 'free' themselves from the chains of marriage are being celebrated," Jacques wrote.

...

A 2024 American Family Survey found that 37% of conservative women and 28% of moderate women, between the ages of 18 and 40, reported being "completely satisfied" with their lives.

However, liberal women of the same age reported only 12% feeling the same way.

...

Citing Louise Perry, author of "The Case Against the Sexual Revolution," Jacques argued that young women are being alienated after getting "burned by hookup culture" and lacking real friendships with the opposite sex.

Jacques argued that, like Perry, returning to marriage, not abandoning men altogether, is the remedy for the cultural divide.

"That won't be true for everyone, of course," Jacques concluded. "But men and women need to find a way back to each other. Discounting marriage won't get them there."

If you really want to destroy civilization in a hurry, go to the very heart of the human experience -- family and mating -- and destroy that.

Bonus: More from Musk. "I"m not anti-Muslim, I'm anti-rape and anti-murder."

My junior high in the mid 1980s had a nurse's station. Everyone gets hurt in PE so that's not the problem. The problem was the posters on the wall. Some, yeah, "say no to drugs", "don't drink and drive" etc. But some had this sad looking blonde teenager with the logo "It's like being grounded for 18 years".
Okay, nobody sane wants teenagers knocked up when they're 14 or whatever.
But that message is carried forward and remembered when the girls are 28 and they're not girls anymore.

11 Ladies, never forget: the friend who tells you "oh you'd look great with short hair" is the friend who secretly hates you

A few jobs ago I worked with a pretty Japanese woman with beautiful long hair.

One of her "friends" convinced her to chop it and took her around the office to show her off to everyone. She now looked like a teenaged boy.

I saw them coming my way and noted "late for a meeting" to get away but the humiliation ritual aspect of it amazed me.

The complete and total explanation of the decrease in white births in America since the 90s is that the left stopped having babies.

You can see the sadness in these young men. They want to be loved and cherished and appreciated. And they’ve been told all their lives that they are toxic and the cause of all evil.

Then there’s the women who brag about body counts and body piercings. And they have zero respect for themselves.

The end result is bad, but I think it's not necessarily because it's shorter. The all dark dye job is not flattering and the cut itself is uninspired and dated.

Compare 13 seconds into the video to the end result.

At 13 seconds, she looks pretty good, even though the hair is short. The end result looks like a HR meeting come to life.

I think the problem with that video isn't that the lady cut her hair short, it was the awful lesbian "bob" cut that she got.

The Blade loves long hair on a girl.

But in fairness, long hair is a real pain in the ass. It's a lot of work keeping it groomed and not a rat's nest of shit.

How does The Blade now? Because he has long hair. He ties it up in a ponytail, because he's Super Cool and that's the easiest thing to do.

But girls with long hair who style it? Total pain in the ass.

Marx's whole goal was supposedly about restored "dignity" to all.

Modern Marxists love to use the more gullible or motivated of us as manipulable tools to that end. They don't care if those people are miserable in their entire finite life on this earth, just so that a future people can theoretically grasp this brass ring of "dignity for all", they will degrade countless millions in reality, for their entire material existence.

In one hand you hold actual misery, in the other an academic theory and a hope, where you don't understand how "dignity" will emerge from mass degradation and dehumanization for "The Cause".

So, glad Marxists are trying to make this choice for us.

I have no idea how young people are supposed to meet each other anymore. People's friend circles are very small now. They don't do social clubs. They don't go to church. Feminists have made approaching women at the gym, the grocery store, the run club or other places like that, "creepy." A significant majority of women, when polled, say, "Don't ever approach a woman in the gym."

So what's left? The bar scene? Hookup apps? Those are meat markets for sex, and a lot of women aren't on them. College? Lots of college girls think that's the time to go wild and don't want to settle down so young. So they're not looking for a husband or serious boyfriend.

Apparently not even half of women, conservative, moderate, or liberal, are completely satisfied?

Seems low, but then what is “completely satisfied” when talking about life anyhow?

70 Based on human biology we should be encouraging young women to marry and have kids at the time we instead encourage them to go to college and get a worthless degree.

We live long enough now there is plenty of time to get into the work force after your kids have started school and still climb the corporate ladder.

Yes it means delayed career progression, but it is much easier to raise kids at 20 then 40 and much safer to give birth to them. The reason you can drink all night and be fine the next day in your early 20s is so you can deal with kids keeping you up all night...

But distilled somewhat, when you remove the base instincts (acquisition of things, food, sex) that people will follow regardless of what "matters", it comes down to what is worth protecting or fighting for.

Well guess what if you don't do thing a lot you won't be good at them. So the guy that approaches you smoothly has probably done it 100s of times and he's not looking for something long term. The guy that doesn't quite know what to say? He probably doesn't have 3 other dates already lined up...

Isn't it funny how we all worked to build this culture that was inclusive of gay and queer people because we didn't want anyone to be ashamed of who they are... and now those same people think heterosexual people should be ashamed of who they are? I guess it just goes to show that privilege isn't all it's cracked up to be 😕

Holy shit that’s stupid. Thank you for making us all dumber for knowing this ridiculous concept exists.

Unstable Women and pathetic men like consensus. The corporate trusts that run the west have been pumping out queer theory. Now the evil asshats who caused the situation made up a word for the weaker women wishing they were part of the fake consensus despite their perfectly unmolested breeding instinct.

115 Yeah, there are definitely practical advantages to eroding the family for Communists. But, at bottom, they hate the family for the same reason they hate religion.

Communists worship themselves as gods, and the State is their church.

And there are two things that people naturally have a higher loyalty to than the State: their faith and their families.

So when the Communist looks upon the god in the mirror, he sees those loyalties as heresy, and gets in a smiting mood.

All practical considerations aside, their hatred of the family stems from the insult to their vanity.

132 112 Short hair on a broad is relative to how much dick she is getting.

1) Long or longish hair- getting a lotta dick and loves the dick.

2) Medium length to ear level hair - getting a little dick but she still likes the dick.

3) Sgt. Carter USMC High and Tight - hates the dick and is getting none or a lesbian.

Progresses from 1 to 3 as the broad advances with age, usually.

137 basically Jasmine Crockett and her supporters have told Talarico that if he doesn't get down on the floor and lick their shoes, none of them are showing up to vote in November. Without them, he can't even crack 30% in the general. So he's crawling on his belly, doing and saying anything they want to try to make them happy.

I've been assuming the GOP loses the House by a small margin (5-10 seats, max) for more than a year.

Just how turnout differentials work. Out of power parties tend to perform better. Not even Obama's people could figure out how to reverse it, and Obama's people were hailed as political geniuses especially their use of micro-targeting ads on Facebook (which Facebook helped with).

However, it won't mean anything. Impeachment will go nowhere (they couldn't get Trump after 1/6, and they're not going to get him now for whatever bullshit they bring up). DHS is fully funded through 2028. DOJ doesn't take orders from Congress.

Exactly, and there's no magic way out of it. What is fueling the anger right now is that there were quite a few underhanded things the Dem Party did with funding, etc, during the primary to make sure Talarico won and Jasmine lost - and Jasmine's supporters know about it and are pissed off about it.

Related, Jasmine herself has been complaining that the entier election process is "Rayciss!" But she can't quite grasp that when a party turns the entire process into, as you say, a racialist enterprise, then pretty much every election HAS to be "racist", by definition. And she's isn't really mad about the "racism", she's just mad that she lost out.

The argument is that black people were ripped off of generational wealth. They would be enjoying trust funds, real estate, other legacies that would have placed them in a higher socioeconomic class at birth.

This doesn't hold up on inspection. Generational wealth is shown to be gone by the third generation -- look at the Vanderbilts. By the time Gloria was born, the original family fortune was divided and depleted. Virtually nothing left for her kid, Anderson Cooper.

198 You were talking about black turnout going down a particular percentage after black candidates lose but I had trouble verifying this. Couldn't find a reliable study. What happens when white candidates lose to blacks, does white turnout go down? What about how "winnable" the race is? Is that a determining factor?

Posted by: ... at July 24, 2026 03:05 PM (Nyq9f)

I don't know about other states, but this has been particularly true in Texas, and it's directly the fault of the Democrat Party. They have spent the last 30 - 40 years building up the black vote as the most important and monolithic voting block in their coalition, backed up by organizers, local politicians, and even preachers. They have told them over and over "Your community will get benefits, your politicians will get representation!, you will reap the financial rewards!" (In many cases, literal cash payouts in poorer areas)

So when an election comes around and they're told "ok none of your people this time, just suck it up and go along" they say WAIT ONE DAMN MINUTE THIS AIN'T WHAT WE WERE SOLD! And they register their displeasure by not showing up.

What I am, though, is a realist. I'm 45, well employed, funny, and medium looking. In the NoVa area. Every trying to get to the 'dating' part is dangerous up here. Most women are very left just for starters. Add in that if you talk to the wrong girl out in the wild and you're looking at shrieks of harassment. Bars are out - no thanks. Work is out - dangerous and complicated. So apps?

I think it's absolutely worth the time, effort, and money required. But the pool is remarkably small and fraught with peril.

Hence the looking for work in other parts of the country.

They kind of were, but the mechanism is not what they think it is. Circa 1960 data was released indicating that by 1985 blacks would be as middle class and successful as whites. That set off alarm bells at the DNC so they had Kennedy shot, cranked up race agitation, and ultimately LBJ put the government in the business of paying women to be single mothers.

We have 5 Republicans with obvious histories of anti-Trump behavior (including Ernst, who tried to torpedo the Hegseth nomination) who are out at the end of this Congress. That's 48, at best, GOP Senators to vote for a full recess, and that includes Murkowski who is just a Democrat.

On average, women will conform to the culture around them. Bringing one of those traditional women here will, more likely than not, turn her into a postmodern woman.

So, you can be a "passport bro" -- and stay *there*. Be an expat. But that means giving up on America, which I still believe is the best hope for a future with human liberty and dignity, let alone prosperity. If the U.S. falls to Islamunist tyranny, its power will be used to spread it everywhere, and no place will be safe.

But if staying means Darwinian failure, it's a sensible alternative, I guess. The more women who make themselves unmarriageable, the more men who will fail to find a mate, and there's no easy answer to that. You'd have to change the culture itself -- and if you made progress, then you'd presumably get the Charlie Kirk treatment.

The little girl replied, “But Jonah was swallowed by a whale.”

Slightly irritated, the teacher repeated,

“No, that's impossible. A whale simply could not swallow a human being.”

The little girl thought for a moment and then said,

“When I get to heaven, I'll ask Jonah.”

The teacher smiled and replied, “And what if Jonah went to hell?”

Without missing a beat, the little girl answered,
“Then you can ask him."

Posted by: FenelonSpoke at July 24, 2026 02:54 PM (xPsv

A very small percentage of white Americans owned slaves. There is no law that was created by America to enact slavery. America didn't invent slavery, it is over 50,000 years old. Some of the oldest cave drawings depict slavery. America and England are the first 2 countries in the entire world to abolish slavery. 400,000 white men died to end slavery in America, none of those guys ever even had slaves. When Columbus arrived in North America, most native Americans were slaves. Slavery was the norm in Europe and Asia for centuries. Black Africans hold the record for most slaves owned throughout history.

The reparations argument is used by dumb people to incite dumb people.

The third human was probably a slave. The fourth human probably probably joined with the third to create the second army.

Human nature keeps rolling on.

258 should pay reparations to people who were never slaves."

Forced labor has been part of the human story since... forever. Still is in most of the world, too.

259 Communists realized the "workers' were just too satisfied in western capitalist societies to support communism.

So they set about changing that.

The American Marxist cultural revolution of the '60s and '70s failed because they couldn't seize the means of PHYSICAL production.

They then "retooled and seized upon" Herbert Marcuse's strategy of taking over all the institutions beginning with the academy.

Now they've succeeded because they have effectively seized the means of KNOWLEDGE, INFORMATION, and COMMUNICATIONS production.

264 Slavery is the Poisonous Legacy of Colonialism. Can we be held responsible for the British, Dutch, French and Spanish introducing it? They're the ones who should be paying reparations.

Please read some history. There's been slaves since there's been humans. And it's still going on in many places.

265 102 I don't understand why people who never owned slaves nor did their parents, grandparents and possibly great grandparents should pay reparations to people who were never slaves. What is the percentage of people who think this is a good idea?

Surely, Sunny Hostin agrees now that she learned she's from a family of slave holders.

Btw, if Irish, sometime somewhere you had family members that were slaves.

Saw no claws or Digmes.

My sister in law is 1st gen Portuguese. Brother stayed married to her until death. Neither I, nor my two sisters were able to keep that vow. Advantage: Portugal...

Western Slavery of the 16th through 19th centuries.
Slavery existed in Africa, as tribes enslaved other tribes and sold them to the Western and Muslim slavers.
China had slaves.
Muslims had and have slaves.
Natives in the Americas had slaves.
Slavery was the rule, not the exception, for most of humanity's existence.
