Housewife 'would be paid £30,000'.

Housewives would be paid more than the average worker if they received the going rate for their household chores, a survey has suggested. The website said a housewife would earn almost £30,000 a year if she was employed to do all the same errands. The average annual UK wage is £23,700, according to official figures.

Ask Dr. Helen: Single Men in Never-Neverland:

Yep, it’s just that freewheeling marketplace or an avoidance of deep attachments or whatever that is keeping men from taking marriage seriously, settling down and having kids. But I don’t think that’s the whole story. What Hymowitz misses is that men are on a marriage strike, not necessarily because they are perpetual adolescents or avoiding deep attachments to others but because the reward for being an adult in our society is so low, especially for men.

It’s really simple Psychology 101 (or Economics 101) — make something negative enough and people will avoid it, make it positive, and more people will engage in that particular behavior.

Nowadays, for many men, the negatives of marriage for men often outweigh the positives. Therefore, they engage in it less often. Not because they are bad, not because they are perpetual adolescents, but because they have weighed the pros and cons of marriage in a rational manner and found the institution to be lacking for them.

A direct link between the Neocons and the marriage strike:

The article is correct. I see this at my university. Nearly all of the males have the maturity of a 5 year old. To them, it's all "ME, ME, ME, ME, ME, ME." (The only males who actually act like adults are myself and others involved in progressive leftist politics and causes.)

The marriage strike is a temper tantrum from a 5 year old. Women rightfully stand up for their rights, and American males go, "Wah, wah, wah, I'm not going to play anymore until you submit yourself to a patriarchal marriage." What is needed is for these American males' moms or kindergarten teachers to put them into the corner until they learn how to play fair and respect women. After all, if American males want to act like 5 year olds, they should be treated that way.
