So i have been in a funk about my life. I have been thinking about that Gottlieb article. And again, i am a pragmatic person. I know the world can be like that.
I know that it is a white mans world.
But to be honest, it makes me wish more then any thing that i was a lesbian. The article is basically saying that because i am female, i need to date down in order to have a partner. I cant expect to have an equal in terms of looks, intelligence, health or age. And i cant expect to have an equal because i am female.
I get it. I totally do. Its how the world is. I am 40 now. I should have been savier in picking a better partner when i was in my 20s. I should have been more self preserving in general. . Why wasnt i brought up that way? I never negotiated for myself or capitilized on my strengths when i was younger. I believes in family and love and i feel my parents did a bad job not educating me about the ways of the world.
But i dont understand why all these white men complain about their lot in life. Why the need for a Jordan Peterson (i am not adverse to him, just saying is all), when they have mating priviledge in addition to every other privilege? My son will be a white man. So this priviledge will make it easier for my own offspring.. And possibly me, if he takes care of me in my old age. So maybe its better i dont oppose it. But still. Its there. And thats basically the juxt of that article.
BTW i was reading about how less men are college educated now. An article was using this to infer the decline of men and calling for change ...but a college education has become a pretty big waste of money in the states. Often times Men can earn a good living without a college degree. They get trained in a skill set in a job with a union and benefits and overtime. I had to go to school which left me out of the work force for years and build debt to obtain a job that does not pay nearly as much as a blue collar job. Point i am making is that a female would be making minimum wage without some sort of fancy degree. Thus, the article is BS. And education, should not be an argument to deny privilege
