65 yr old Boomer, Grandpa Bishop tells me at work on Fri.:
"Males are the problem today, they're not righteous enough. Every male should join Military/Mormon Mission/Peace Corp so they can get married and be worthy, etc"
I ask him: "what if the young men do any of the three, come back and the women they desire to marry are unaccountable wenches and communist whores?" He balks and tells me "only extremist women would be impossible to wed, still men's responsibility for virtue, etc."
Next question I ask: "do you think women's going to college or Sexual Revolution plays a role in whether marriage rates are falling?" Again, he refuses to acknowledge relevancy. "I interview women every day anon, there's plenty of young, virtuous people getting married"...
Maddens him when I say: "If males are accountable to the sum of society's failures, then which men are accountable for the degradation of femininity and the leftwing radicalization happening to women? Satan?"
This is the folly of the puritan's plight in 2020. Every rhetorical blade has a snake for a handle. To acknowledge men are responsible for women adopting intersectionality, renouncing the rites of marriage, childbirth, etc. requires a group of men to shoulder the blame.
Millenials are stereotyped for their vapid critiques of civilization, but no one disputes their conviction to hold the narcissistic Boomers to their sins. Until their last breath, this feud between generations will result in spite, nothing will be learned.
Not all boomers are unaware of the "dating problem" and are seeking to help. I know of a local group who wants to put together in-person clubs for literal arranged marriages for their Millenial Mormon sons/daughters. Desperate to salvage their children's love lives and youth.
What is most disturbing about Grandpa Boomer Bishop's strategy to act as though nothing has changed in 40 years since he married, is insistence to absolve young women of their nature, their actions, and project virtues onto their character w/out merit.
Specifically I talk about this w/ Mormon Nerd in GOONHOOD, how young men are cucked by abstract civility and traditonal responsibilities while women are free to be plundered by propaganda and enjoy modernity to its fullest w/out adopting role of the housewife, which is why
so many young women of Deseret are vapid, floppy-hat wearing Instagram whores. Devoid of any cultural responsibility, there's no incentive to settle or to not sell their fertility to the highest bidder. IG monetizes their biology, feeds them unending attention.
Which then dredges up a poignant point that the boomers completely miss: younger generations treat social media as a status system, not as a communication system. The social ramifications of which are still largely unknown to us. However, I can say with inside knowledge that the
local Instagram model community" here is a microcosm of uber-hypergamy in the 21st century. Without a certain amount of followers or social influence, you're instantly unsuitable for the very "online" life these IG charlatans lead. And because fertility & beauty determine how
high up on the chain you are, it intensifies the social pressure for other women here to adapt to this nu-hypergamy and accept these conditions as legitimate for dating. Women are far more susceptible to peer pressure and propaganda than men.
Combine this all with the fact that since the 60s, women have been "released" from their role as homemaker, housewife, child-rearer to pursue a worthless life of gratification while men are still held accountable to keep the power stations from exploding, water purified, etc.
Even amongst the Mormons, most women here aren't traditional: they want to get married for the status, meet familial expectations with a "designer home" while still wanting to pursue a career. Best of both worlds. They have no skills to their marriage and want a material life.
While they crave this unrealistic expectation of marriage, their sister is getting railed across the country pursuing a Masters in sociology, coming home for Thanksgiving with a dead look in her eyes...if she comes home at all.
I am reminded another reason why I wrote Goonhood and will continue to write these types of books.
