Another unintended consequence is that children are growing up fatherless.

I’m sure being some sort of low level marketing or HR worker will fulfill these women more than having a loving family

When you state “successful women” you mean financially successful. That’s a whole different thing to being successful as a woman.

Well, they asked for it. I have no sympathy for those "little princesses".

When women say they are not interested in dating, it should be assumed that they are not interested in marriage and children either. These women have options and have decided on the career route. Not every woman has the end goal of marriage and children.

Note the use of "successful" in this context.

A "successful" woman (in this context) functionally means: A woman who has acquired resources and/or status that otherwise wouldn't have been possible without civilization.

Put another way: A "successful" woman is one who has succeeded in male achievements thanks to the restricted (and protected) market of today's modern (male built) society.

Put simply: A "successful" woman is a biological (and most often psychological) failure. (Outliers/exceptions notwithstanding.)

Now in fairness, MOST humans in general are relative failures. But they serve to contribute to the infrastructure that supports the successful ones.

But I still get a kick out of how we use "successful" for women (and humans in general), as if we can conclude anything about an individual's ultimate success when they are at roughly a 1/3 into their lives.

Most women who are "successful" in the short to medium-term are ultimately "unsuccessful" when tallying the net total of their entire life.

But again, I understand. We are generally using education and wealth (and by extension, career/status) as the metric for "success." Seems quite silly to me, but fair enough. After all, what the hell do I know.

They made their beds. Now they better sleep in them.

I wonder if these women are so "successful" because qualified men are passed over in education and work to artificially advance women. Seems to me that there is too much favoritism and pushing to advance women at the expense of good men, in both education and work.

If women just went out and tried to find a good man and make a meaningful connection there wouldn't be this problem.

[michaelpotter]

He's not villainizing women, just describing a social phenomenon.

[nicevideo]

Women can start investing in 🐕 and 🐈 food. 🤷‍♂️

[thepointlesswords]

Women can be successful. But women should be aware of these things and be humble.

[Spiral.Dynamics]

I’m gonna need you to produce the statistics that show women are earning more.

[anneflynn]

There are plenty of "unsuccessful " women out there too.

[ruso]

They are not outperforming men making money in important spaces, infrastructures that keeps society working, all the things that you see when you walk the streets where ingeniered by men, built by men and are being maintained by men, so they just earning inflated money

[TinRapper]

Compound with the other side of the problem: men don’t care how successful a woman is for dating

[nsaad]

Well, tbh that just means as men we should have a steady supply of easy sex until we find actual wife material. You have to adapt to the times, understand the game and play it the best you can. That's life, honestly.

[darbyl]

If you don't manage the "consequences", you get what you get, as always. Making more money just gives you more options, and not everyone wants a traditional family. Men need to manage the new norms, as well. You can't force others into your ideal lifestyle, but you can look for those that agree with it.

[CommentsProbablyDeleted]

A successful Woman is a wife, a mother, grandmother. A successful person has a career, a boss, a company, employees, titles and letters behind their name.
They're seldom in the same package.

Nobody needs to feel awfully sorry for financially successful women, they have ample choice to live a simpler life, if they want to. The unintended consequence is totally for the majority of men, who wake up from their pampered existence to find themselves lonely, miserable, friendless, mentally unfit for life and love, and not even their own fathers will help them. Because we live in the final pangs of patriarchy. The capatalist system shows its true core, it is all about increasing the money for the capitalists, totally genderless and raceless, just wealth. Even AI can do the computations at the financial markets. Do we appreciate human connections at all, equal, considerate, uplifting, and caring human relations? That is the question.
