American Men Boycotting Marriage: Pseudotraditionalist FNC Hosts Say To Man Up
Found this on YouTube. I'll let some of the viewer comments do the speaking from here:

"50% of women are obese, 50% of women are single moms, 52% of marriages end in divorce, 70% of divorces filed by women, The average woman has a partner count in the double digits. Women get child custody 90%, they get a free house and car courtesy of the husband. She can call 911 and lie about abuse and ruin your life, the church preachers take her side and don't hold her accountable. Lifetime alimony and child support. A Real Man doesn't take that deal. A real man goes his own way"

"I think this video shows just how closely feminism and traditionalism are tied together. Kind of hard for feminism to claim they are fighting the patriarchy when patriarchal values, such as these traditionalists are spouting, are just as readily heard coming from the mouths of feminists themselves. They are two sides of the same coin."
"The reality is, there is nothing in the wedding vows that is binding for women anymore. Women offer nothing in modern vows... but modern vows for men still offers his wealth and property. Furthermore, any and all expectations and/or obligations on a wife are severed upon divorce, while a man's obligations (to provide) remain intact, and government enforced. In effect, when a couple divorces, the woman is released from the marriage, the man isn't"

"You derive deep satisfaction for taking responsibilities for others".
"No. I am responsible for my actions TO other people. I am not responsible FOR other people. This man has a broken sense of priorities and obviously doesn't understand the value of allowing people free choice. That a human is born with a Y chromosome does not obligate him to live or deal with the choices of another simply because they weren't. Equality means equality for everyone."

"These guys will understand when their wives divorce them and they have to start paying alimony and not see their kids and pay child support under threat of incarceration."

"Its' not just child support, it's that child support is not tied to what the child needs but to what the man makes. They can take huge sums of money from a man. Of course a man should support his child but it's not up to him to support the woman who dumped him."

"I finished undergrad back in 94. Grad school in 96. Every woman I met, tried to get to know wanted either perfection, or guys who thought everything was a joke. Time rolled by...the decades wore on. I used to get very depressed about this. As I crested into my forties. All of my college friends divorced and financially raped. Guys who are still married it's a cheating spouse. A loveless marriage. Everything that is wrong is "his" fault. Man, I dodged a bullet. I really did. Glad I never married."
