Where are all the Good Men Gone?

"Where are all the good men gone?" You may have heard a woman ask?

To answer this is actually very simple. Men are built, physically to out perform women in every career or profession. Not because they are necessarily mentally more adept, women are actually on average smarter, but for one simple reason: women are built to carry children in the womb, which takes time, resources, and an emotional toll. This also stops a woman from being able to work without taking considerable breaks, while she is giving birth. Men are created for the work force, women are created for nurturing in the home, especially while their children are young.

To eliminate this advantage of men, women needed to be artificially altered via birth control, or access to abortion. This allows women, to some degree, to deny their biology and suppress their inbuilt mothering instincts to compete with men in various professions creating the illusion of equality in some fields. Because of woman's higher average intelligence[i] and better ability at dealing with groups of people, they'll even surpass men in certain fields, for a time. Though many will eventually give this up to have a family. This whole cycle has terrible effects on women, but I will talk about that another time.

What I want to address is how this has very bad effects on men. Birth control and the pill help women feel more sexually free, hence men get greater access to sexual partners without having to commit, build a home and raise children. Men need a load, they need responsibility to flourish, it is how we were created, to work and provide, men are often lost without this responsibility. The fact that when they have sex this is supposed to create a child is supposed to motivate men, and the society around them, to force them to aim up and not be boys anymore.

Easy access to sex ruins men. Denial of biological reality harms women. You end up with a society like ours where women ask, "Where are all the good men gone?"

Someone may object, “But Matt, most men get very little access to women, and some men get much more access to women.” This is a direct result of the deregulation of the sexual marketplace caused by easy access to sex. In such a deregulated market there will always be winners and losers, and some men will lose out badly. Other will win badly, but this will corrupt their and their expectations of women. So, this result does not disprove my thesis, it backs it up. The fact that most men cannot be assured that they will find a faithful and dedicated wife and sexual partner for life, is part of this larger issue. It is a flow on effect.

Some men will overcome this, and will become good men, who take a wife and live righteously. But as humans are driven by incentives, the less incentive there is to be good, the less men will be good. And society will decline till it hits a cliff.

Many aspects of our modern society need to be rejected to return to more balance between men and women. Men as providers and women as nurturers. As long as men have an easy out, many won't bother to be good, and many will be corrupted by the situation.
