I am so sad to witness time and time again ~ the decline of the nuclear family as we used to know it ~
A marriage meant something solid, commitment was respected, a man took pride in his family and his word, ethics were what we all were striving for... to be better people and evolve as a society.
It seems now, that almost every man feels that committing to one woman for life is some sort of punishment, despite the fact that that woman gave his children life.
Ironic that they seem to feel as if it lowers their status to be honorable.
The more powerful the men seem to be ~ the less honest and reliable they become.
The more narcissistic, and demanding they are, the easier it seems to intimidate and dominate the people they choose to honor with their presence.
They lie, they cheat, they feel entitled to do as they wish, regardless of the consequences.
Because the men own the 'money game' they dominate the women into denial, a type of submission.
The women accept this behavior.
Perhaps out of fear, insecurity, or maybe just laziness, the women are observed to be passive aggressive to get their needs met and use manipulative tactics to maneuver their lifestyles and keep their children as safe as possible.
Now it seems, to be married is something to survive itself, rather than it being the safe place to fall.
in response to arnold schwartznegger fathering a child with a staff member the day after the president of the french treasury was accused of sexual abuse of staff. Also including the recent discovery of catholic priests as pediphiles. Oh and we can't forget as well , Tiger Wood's dozen mistresses and the fanfare of charlie sheen's celebration of using and disposing of women. Not to mention my own experiences in a patriarchal and misogynistic hollywood society.
