i really think men would be more incentivized to contribute to society if they at least felt that they had a reasonable expectation of getting a virgin wife. i'm not advocating for some sort of state-mandated solution, just for a return to the societal standards that were in place for most of history. it's immensely frustrating that women nowadays are expected and encouraged to spend their most beautiful and fertile years hopping from man to man, whether it's hookups or (((serial monogamy))), instead of marrying young and becoming loyal wives and beloved mothers.   yes, it's demoralizing and humiliating to put in all this work and perform all these grand romantic gestures for women that have already given themselves in the most intimate and vulnerable ways to other men. just my broscience take i guess but i think guys kinda recognize this on a subconscious level and it's a big reason why so many men are "checking out"
