Girls’ Steep Decline In Desire For Marriage Is The Destabilizing Consequence Of Feminization
Young girls used to dream of the day they would don a white dress, clutch a bouquet, and walk down the aisle to wed the love of their life. New data, however, suggests those dreams are scarcer than they were 30 years ago.
A new Pew Research Center analysis of survey data from the University of Michigan found that high schoolers are more reluctant to desire marriage now than they were 30 years ago. Twelfth-grade girls, specifically, are significantly less likely than their male peers to say they want to get married sometime in the future — 61 percent compared to the boys’ 74 percent.
Leftism, technology, and the destruction of young men and women
Two polls show that our young people are in deep trouble. Men are emotionally isolated, while women are so filled with hatred for the world in which they find themselves that they want to run away from America altogether. This is what happens when leftism infects women, leaving men to the computer’s cold embrace.

Women Are Wonderful, Men Can Be Useful
Chris Williamson: “It’s very hard to try and put forward something that doesn’t sound like putting the brakes on women. And I don’t think that’s what either of us …”
Here is the problem in a nutshell. We must never say No to a woman, no matter the social atrophy and misery she and her sisters are causing. Carlson, in turn, gives the only permissible response: “Are women happier than they were?”
A conversation about men’s lives quickly becomes a conversation about what women want.
European Christian pacifists face truth: Peace requires strength
For centuries, many European Christians have proudly declared that following Jesus means rejecting violence. But as Russia’s brutal war against Ukraine drags into its fourth year, even lifelong pacifists are beginning to ask whether peace can survive without the means to defend it.
Christianity Today reports on a moral and theological shift taking place among Europe’s faithful.
Memories of the Way We Were
Conservative commentary on how Western liberalism has lost its way tends to be almost exclusively focused on the changes that half a century of Left-liberal ‘progress’ have wrought. But it is surely equally important to be clear about what is felt to have been lost in the process. Here are my own.
To be clear, these are the recollections and impressions of someone growing up in 1950s and 60s England. They are not a depiction of some prelapsarian ideal world. People today who would identify as socially conservative would, I think, feel an affinity with much but by no means all of it.
The problem with greed: Our economic system benefits only those at the very top – but it’s not too late for change
The 21st century – if you hadn’t noticed – has been a pretty rocky ride. We’ve already been through several economic crashes, a global pandemic and an affordability crisis, not to mention wars in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Nor is the political landscape much cause for joy: of the democracies around in the 1990s, more than 25 have slid back to dictatorship or authoritarian semi-democracy, while China and Russia are once again ruled by autocrats. The United States every day looks more like the Roman Republic near its end, run by a President openly seeking Caesar’s perpetual dictatorship with even less deference to the Senate.
Judge, Discriminate, and Hold Prejudices
Theodore Dalrymple is one of my favorite living writers. He makes complex notions seem obvious and self-evident while employing a sporadic dry wit. His is reliably enjoyable reading that feels like a guilty pleasure.
He has a fascinating history as an English psychologist working in some of Britain’s slums and its prisons. He encounters the modern philosophies through the people who live them, who have really internalized the concept that their crimes were the fault of anything except their own will: their bad upbringing, their parents, their anxiety, their addictions, their ancestry, and so on.
