No. He isn't. Its the Ayn Rands, Anne Landers, the Doctor Laura's who rule the world. Losing their yuouthful beauty, and their power over their men, or men in general, they fight back with all that have. Its not their fault any more than it is a man's fault to after 7 years, seek a mistress. He probably wanted to since the day after their first child was born and after the love canal got stretched, the pleasure was gone. Oh sure, you can dress up, use puppets, etc, but nature's way is nature's way. Men in North America are emasculated. They have been reduced to mere shadows of their former selves. Women asked for their freedom. To be free from staying home and looking after the kids, and keeping house. They wanted to have freedom. Can you blame them? Society now must cope, with marital units in disarray. Mixed up scenarios where both work, and strangers raise the kids. And as it goes, as soon as couples have 2 incomes, society demands it. Buying a houses require it. Thats the capitalist way. What the market will bear. Out there somewhere, is a land, where life is good. Where people don't struggle just to keep themselves in slavery, where people aren't afraid to touch. Where people can accept they way they are and are not filled with remorse, and bitterness, because of it. Somewhere. Out there. But not here.
