Anglerfish are a deep-sea animal that uses its bioluminescent lure to capture prey and court mates. Along the way, as the males lack a phallus, they bite onto the larger female Anglerfish, which then fuses the male's tissues into the female's to efficiently enable the flow of sperm to fertilize the female's eggs & produce offspring. Subsequently, the males die out and become lifeless appendages of the female that just donate what remaining sperm they have.
I hate the word "marriage" - not the concept of marriage (I do hope to get married/have kids one day), but I disdain the very sterile sound of marriage. There is no love of life present within this word; it is not a celebration of the sexes, of sexuality, of femininity and masculinity, but a renunciation of youth, passion, and life.
How revolting! Why would someone want to get married in this day and age, when it means the renunciation of life itself, just to be a sperm/financial bank? Where is the passion, growth, and love of life that many of different ages have found? No wonder so many parade the idea of being childfree and unmarried.
We need to regenerate communities once more - we need warriors, masters, rulers, heroes, intrigue, danger, oracles, life, to be truly alive and fulfilled. In ages past, when hunting for a mammoth made you a celebrity/hero in your group, nowadays, the means to have such valor are limited. When the world is so safe, how can one become a warrior who overcomes the enemy? What hierarchies are there to climb and prove yourself with? While some may point to the new potentials in the modern age, like being a content creator, gay scientist, and more, does reaching a million views on a video have the same impact as a near-death experience with your friends at Troy or the journey one finds themselves in crossing the Gobi desert and seeing Chinese civilization in all its glory?
Apologize if I've rambled on too long now, yet I believe the culprit behind this disenchantment is the state & bureaucracy, ever-growing agents that pry themself into every little issue its people protest about. In the establishment of this feminine safety-oriented culture, we've enabled the state, a purely quantitative force, to shove itself into every issue, leaving practically no wiggle room for its citizens to organize themselves, limiting the means for boys to transmutate themselves into men (Schools in a way can be a model for the anatomy of the state; it's led by unhappy women who penalize boys for being aggressive and operating in a way that is outside its influence. You must follow this schedule, go over here during this hour, play for 15-30 minutes, then return to your classroom and follow the assigned work that I've given you). You are bred to be an anglerfish; go collect your coins from work for years on end, then die one day.
The ideal citizens are those who are the most obedient towards it, women. This'd eventually lead to the emasculation of men, yet not their feminization. So far I've only critiqued the consequences of modernity on men, but what about women? They too are not allowed to be feminine; while certainly the force for de-feminization isn't as strong as emmasculation, women are expected to take up a masculine mantle, go into a masculine workforce, & try to play the same intrasexual competitive games men do with each other to rise their corporate hierarchy. In consequence, many women have attempted to feminize the workplace by the addition of HR, practically a nano-nanny-state that creeps into every vulgar thing done there.
Inevitabley there would be no place for men or women to take up their traditional hierarchies that have been designed for their sexes (I'm not a reactionary - while I wouldn't mind changes towards gender relations, I am wholeheartedly against its practical dismantling). No longer are there to be male & female archetypes, just androgenous & equally meaningless data points for the state to quantify.
