THE INCREASE IN MALE SUICIDE IS EVIDENCE OF WOMEN’S ABANDONMENT OF THE EXCHANGE OF MARRIAGE AND FAMILY. SO WHY NOT ABANDON THE EXCHANGE OF LIMITING OUR ENSLAVEMENT IN EXCHANGE FOR MARRIAGE?

There is no reason to remove women from domesticated slavery if the consequence is their abandonment of the compromise of marriage, early calorie transfer, and late return. If we are to live late and uncared for seeking suicide in ever greater numbers so that women can expand their insatiable nesting urge, including the consumption of our millennia of accumulated genetic, cultural, institutional, normative, informational, and material capital, then there is no value in our release of them from slavery into the market for production.

In other words, it is either marriage and family before individual, so that we equally benefit from the intertemporal demands of our biology, or we might as well just return women to domestic slavery.

It’s not complicated. Marriage and reproductive constraint is a compromise. Break the exchange and we do not retain the redistributive benefits of female participation in the market men have made, but instead, we return to that prior era where the market is the domain of men, and women are once again herded for our purposes like all other animals.

None of us gets what we want. We get only the best that is possible.

Everyone in every civilization thinks their norms are a force of gravity. But the only force of gravity in human existence is ability to organize to use violence to obtain what we desire over that which others desire – in where there is no right, there is only what is possible. There is no property there is only possession.

So we can either return to a world of voluntary exchanges from the extraction of resources from our most productive males, or we can return to the world in which our least productive males use violence to enslave and make use of that which they choose to.

Civilizations are very fragile things.

Men are not very smart – certainly not smarter than traditions they do not understand. And women seek to avoid that understanding in order to fulfill their urges, regardless of the cost to men.

Civilization consists of forcing trades.

if you abandon those trades, we return to uncivilized behavior: force.
