It's true, a society's women are the reflection of the men. When men are of good character, the women there also are, because men of good character discourage bad behavior in women and encourage good, traditional ones.

"Cads" like pre-Christian Roosh may have had a lot of swagger that got women excited, but in the end, by bedding those women, he was rewarding women for slutty behavior, and in turn, those women rewarded him for his caddishness. It's a brutal feedback loop, a loop that historically it has been the men who broke.

But if we are to speak of the relationship of a woman to that of a man, we must also speak of the relationship of a man to Christ, for as women are brides to men, men are in a similar position with respect to Christ. It is Christ who breaks men out of that loop, and the Christian men that break women out of that loop in turn.

Ultimately, this, as everything else, points to Christ.

The problem is the solution to this, though, as women are by definition the gatekeepers of sex and it is they who do the rewarding. The ebb and flow of relationships is a dance. With dance partners, yes, there is a balance and a co-responsibility. But where the idealism overdoes it is when we act like we didn't inherit a pig pen, and thus somehow we are going to change the pig pen? Nope, not gonna happen. And I don't deny that it was technically "men's fault" for allowing this to happen - indeed the price of freedom and virtue and everything else is eternal vigilance, holding the line.

Let's cut the crap (you all know I love saying that here): we Johnny-come-latelys at the forum, whenever we came around the bend, complained about the situation because it was ruined by the time we entered it. I'm within a few years of Roosh's age, let's say, so I know this very specifically and can relate. There are various reasons why any of our trajectories may have worked, got sidetracked, or led us to this point, but I didn't womanize or anything close to it for decades and was around "the church" my whole life. I may have, for whatever reason, even denied someone suitable access to my life, again, I may have missed the mark. But it's not like I was swatting away women left and right even though I had many attractive qualities as a man and potential husband. It just wasn't in the society's cards, women's minds, their parents minds, etc in many (not all) cases.

That leads me to the point of this post, which is that the solution is collapse of the materialist system that hooked women on consumerism and lies, and put career and political garbage in front of being a wife and a mother. While what much of what we say about biology is true here, surely we can't say that women should not be expected to have any agency whatsoever. So this blaming men stuff is quite lame, even though they are to blame. We all are to blame.

If luxury, food, drink, protection, etc. aren't taken for granted, you will see fatties and tattoos vanish. You'll see a lot of other things too, good and bad - but if you know anything about human biology and inclination, things are forced to balance. The world can be harsh, but most are forced to "come to their senses". And thought not all will, many will.

Acts 9:18
And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.

Something akin to scales fell off of the Apostle Paul's eyes when Jesus called him. Spiritual blindness is a real thing, and it's amazing how you see the world in a completely different way when Jesus gives you the ability to see spiritual truths.

The truth is the male is the leader and the woman was the helper, but a lot of men are mad at women for being whores while simultaneously convincing them to engage in whorish activities and also sleeping with multiple women. Women will emulate what a man does, but the concept of being a man of God has almost been wiped out in Western culture, only to be replaced with a cult of self-worship-- aka the cult of feeling one is worthy of praise because one has improved himself. Women in the west largely have no incentive to be virtuous when their men are telling them to whore it up, don't be a prude, and just essentially develop a complicated gameplan to get sex from them. Where are the men telling women to save themselves and abstain and live a Godly life?

Oh yes. Remember growing up to Madonna's "Material Girl," or "Like a Prayer," and her influence on young girls' fashion. She dressed like the town's tart.

@Roosh:

I truly believed that marriage was “slavery” because it “shackled” me to a woman who would merely divorce me for no reason. That may very well be the case with secular marriages in which you choose a spouse based on emotional compatibility and how “happy” they make you feel, but that’s not what Christian marriages are built on.

Unfortunately, this idea of marriage as slavery or a type of shackled lifestyle was indirectly communicated to female children too, but through the message of becoming an independent and self-sufficient female. Take that situation and couple it with the university campus indoctrination; and depending on the generation of females attending university the indoctrination differed.

A personal observation: often times religious individuals visited campus and aggressively preached on how women need to be submissive to men. Due to the tone and audience the point was to steer discord, and to not glorify God or welcome individuals into Christianity.

Yes. The husband is the head of the family. Yes. The husband is the spiritual leader. Husband submits to Christ, and wife submits to husband.
As a wife one way I submit to Christ is by submitting to my husband. It is my responsibility as a wife to support my husband in strengthening his relationship with Christ.

As Christian husband and wife our salvation is found in our commitment to our marriage (until death do us part) under the guidance and acceptance of Jesus Christ as the truth and the way.

He's right about men's role in correcting the problem, it will just be painful for alot of men because they will go unmarried and childless through this life. Only thing that will stop this cycle and rein in women is good men refusing to wife up sluts. No hymen, no diamond! Its as simple as that. Let the whores die childless so they dont pass on their genes and bad behavior to their progeny.

It would be better if men stop giving attention and compliment to fallen/unwholesome women in the first place too. I know in my younger years, there were female friends who got jealous of women who got all the attention from men just because their look. Then they started to think whether they have to mainly focusing on their appearance alone and take part in attention-seeking game just to get noticed by men. And that's usually when young girls start to become messed up.

In the end, I know it's a two-way streets. Both men and women must take personal responsibility.
