The Millennial Conundrum of Marriage & Children

When Musk warns that white American males are becoming extinct due to their lack of procreation, I wonder if he ever searched for the – Why? 

Millennials are not getting married.  Millennials are not having children.  Why?   In a recent discussion with a group of male millennials this became a topic rife with sadness.   The number one reason was that millennial women are control freaks.  A control freak personality is characterized by an intense, often anxious need to manage and dictate situations and people, stemming from a fear of losing control, leading to perfectionism, micromanagement, criticism, and difficulty delegating or admitting fault.

When this behavior is directed by women against men its effect is a limp sexual desire.  Over time, it can be catastrophic for a man’s simple ego affecting his drive, his work, his self-esteem and his ability to function.  And yet, somehow millennial women are oblivious.  Not recognizing the effect their own indulgence in control has on others.  As though women have forgotten that earthly instinct of being a woman.  Becoming a hybrid.

That this control comes across as a form of passive/aggressive de-masculinization that ultimately leaves the men feeling constantly inadequate as the end result.  The men of this generation that are married, carry this same weight with a great emotional sadness that is difficult to hear as a mother.  But the discussion opened a very private window into the evolution of feminism.

Only 44% of millennials are married.  90% of millennial divorces are initiated by the women.  Disrespect is the main reason young men tend to disassociate from their wives.   Gratitude, joy, balance, appreciation, and honor are values that appear to be waning in young women as they navigate relationships.  When a man feels disrespected – he withdraws.  Instead of recognizing the reasoning, these women initiate divorce thinking it was the man’s job to do it all.  The scales tip and the relationship is doomed.

Caught between wanting to stay home and have children while their own lack of disassociation feelings toward motherhood the young women are in a constant flux.  And lashing out as though this is the man’s fault seems to be their common habit.

The dynamic of ‘work’ vs feminism vs feminine has been rewritten – not by men but by women.  Gloria Steinem, the Mother of feminism is 91 and remained married for just 3 years before her husband, David Bale (Christian Bale’s father) died at 62.  She had no children.  Steinem’s mother spent a good portion of her life in and out of sanitariums.  Her father was Jewish and left the family when Gloria was ten.  Somehow, Gloria translated her mother’s mental instability to the system and claimed she suffered from injustices that were both social and political in nature.  Leading to her activism as a feminist.

After a brief adventure in India, in the late 1950’s Steinem returned to America and became director of the Independent Research Institute.  A CIA operation during the era of Allen Dulles.  MK Ultra.  Operation Mockingbird.  And Communism.

Those who succumbed to her ideals of women = man created a tectonic shift that has since grasped many souls into its claws.  Millennial women are confused.  Believing work defines your individual success in life instead of family, patience, love and unity.  As a direct result, young men are left disillusioned.  The church has done little to rebalance – invoking extremes of submission and piety.  The brunt of which is depopulation of white America and fatherless black children.

In effect, what Steinem’s philosophy led to is a vacuum of atheism and narcissism.  The Me Movement.  And psychologists were greedily hungry to encourage women’s independence from the constraints of ‘marriage’, ‘religion’, and ‘compassion’.  They called it freedom.  And those freedom flyers raised their sons and daughters to be the same gender.  If not physically, then psychologically.  Leading to a generation of lonely unmarried childless men who truly sought the 50’s version of marriage and family.  Until they were castrated.

The Church fought Steinem with apocalyptic marriage identities of cavemen men and uneducated doting groveling wives.  Redefining the church from that of teachers to authoritarians.  And the system crashed. 

Sending young men into spirals of depression, and young women further into their narcissism.    

For American Gen Zers, the outlook is even more grim.  As a result of the education system, growing up in day care, and addicted to social media and phones, IQ score averages have declined for this generation.  Certainly, The Pandemic didn’t help as proficiency scores have plummeted across the US.  Students who can’t read are pushed thru the system.  Math scores are 3 years or more behind.  And nothing is being done to remedy the situation.

Nutrition is also a huge component.  Toxic, highly processed food, not breast feeding, and inactivity has created a dirge effect on western civilizations programmed by corrupt politicians and medical institutions which has resulted in altered brain functioning as a result.   That altered brain is more addictive.  Hence the drug epidemic. 

A typical daycare meal consists of mac and cheese and tater tots.  While snacks include Cheerios, canned pears, processed peanut butter with added sugar on Wonder Bread…  Why?  Because the more additives in a food, the less nutritious the food – the less it costs… which is also why people on food stamps gravitate to junk. A cycle that has gone from bad to worse.

Millennials are much more conscientious regarding their food intake than their peers.  Meaning their offspring would have a better chance of advancement in breaking the diminutive brain cycle if they could just rebalance the role of women as ‘control freaks’!

VOTER Shaming -Manipulating Minds

Mort Zuckerman of the New York Daily News Tabloid has announced that anyone who votes for Trump is a clueless, brainless zombie. Attacking voters is becoming the mainstay of Hillary’s campaign. An interesting way – indeed…

Zuckerman is a Hillary fan and runs a ‘tabloid’, so I guess that pretty much sums up his identity.

Madelaine Albright has announced that, “there is a special place in Hell for those women who do not vote for Hillary”! Ouch! Again, attack the voters? Belittle the voters? Condemn them to an eternity in Hell?

I don’t think those kind of attacks are going to muster support for our esteemed Hillary and might actually have the reverse effect – as in narcissistic overload.

While attacks are the mainstay of politics with Republicans attacking each other, name calling, whipping up frenzied rhetoric, refocusing on their alternate party candidate, etc… attacking the voters is most definitely a new agenda that the Hillary’s have captured and patented.

Gloria Steinem added to the obtuse tactic by attempting to shame women who were voting for Sanders just to get the ‘boys’ to notice them.

While both Cruz and Rubio have been implicated in voter shaming by purportedly sending out mailers to individuals and calling out their voting record and publicizing their neighbor’s voting history, the tactic is considerably different. It is encouraging voters to vote – as opposed to damning them to Hell and calling them names. While Rubio’s and Cruz’s ethics have been challenged by this, Hillary’s are for some reason acceptable.

Voter shaming report cards were routinely used by the Democrats in 2012. In fact, Democrats have the dubious honor of creating the tactic. MoveOn.org (a Soros organization) discovered that the letter shaming tactic motivated people who wanted to fit in and do the right thing. As a result they saw it worked famously and may have been instrumental in killing Romney’s presidential run. An interesting note is that the mailers specifically targeted ‘Progressives’, as in Hillary is a “Progressive Democrat” – a label she still cannot define.

The shaming letter is rooted in the concept that people are sheep and follow whatever the Jones’ do, say and act. While the impact isn’t just to vote, the strategy is to create an awareness of a particular candidate in an otherwise unaware person. It presumes the person’s head is empty and therefore can be filled with the ideologies of the letter creator. And while the tactic may be good in that it derives results, we suddenly find that it’s creator, the Democrats, are crying foul!  Launching attack ads, media views, and headlines against the letter shaming is so incredibly hypocritical it is comical.

Given their tactic has been hijacked, the Dems are now resorting to inflaming libelous tactics. Zuckerman, Albright and Steinem have taken the concept to the extreme, calling voters names, condemning them to Hell, etc… That’s a lot more personal. It is offensive! And it imposes on the attacker a rather cynical and dubious nature that creates more than a cringe effect, instead it creates a reaction of anger. The motivation is to make voters feel so badly about themselves and so afraid they are stupid, they will hide and not vote at all for fear of being labeled a scurrilous zombie.

In psychology, what happens when a person is being shamed and mocked?

They and their friends and supporters dig their heels in that much more resolutely! They become united. It creates a protectionist behavior toward the person being shamed, and a revilement toward the shamer.  The effect, the shamed gets more attention and the shamer is vilified.  When politicians shame each other, while we may cringe and hate it, they are all on board and so to some extent we have to accept it.  It is different.

But as voters, we do NOT have to accept shaming! A united front is much more powerful than one rooted in fear!
