I do feel sorry for the men, because, given the increased social and economic power women have these days, the men tend to get fucked. Not true 30 years ago, maybe, but from what I see it is pretty damn true now. If a married man says "you know what, no, I don't accept these assumptions" they get trounced socially for being a bad provider for wife and family - which women just don't face if they suddenly cry "I have more meaningful things to do with my life than work!" If a woman stops keeping up her end of the "bargain" (keeping herself up to present adequate arm-candy, slacking of on her sex/affection duties, etc.) and men complain, they are guilty of objectifying their women (who frankly often objectified themselves by accepting that role). If men try to dump a whore like a whore, they are malfeasors, usually pecuniarily punished, and the bimbo they take up with is a home-wrecker, rather than being admitted to simply be better at the job.
That's, of course, a broad characature, but there's a hell of a lot more truth to it than there should be. The incredible sapping of will and self-respect I've seen in a lot of "family men" in this business just depresses me. Too many guys end up seeing themselves as cash cows supporting women and children and a lifestyle they don't particularly get to enjoy. And they are fucking trapped, slaves to the expectations of their families (and, in all honesty, of themselves, though the results when they wake up try to get out of it are often catastrophic).
