I've always thought that starting a family would be inevitable because that's what happened with my parents and their parents etc. But given current events (and honestly events that happened before my mom popped me out), trying to start a normal family free from the leftists' tentacles is near impossible. It seems that the only way to start (and maintain) a nuclear family right now in the US is to:
- Play along with leftist propaganda and play to the whims of your lefty wife else she takes more than the kids.
- Become a tradcuck, convert to christianity, move to the rural part of a red state. And both options still leave you vulnerable to the state courts if she wants to divorce for any reason.
Personally, I still want to entertain the idea of a wife and kids. Maybe it's just human nature that I am in denial and MGTOW is the way to go for generations to come. It also doesn't help that I'm currently stuck in Commiefornia where lockdowns are still a thing and everyone I know drank the Democratic kool-aid. So my irl options are limited. I also don't want to use online dating as pretty sure 99% that I am going to match someone who will be a lefty believer. I'm curious what this sub thinks on this topic as it seems that there is mix of MGTOWs and those who are married and have kids.
Trying to start a traditional family in 2021 is like playing Russian Roulette with every bullet loaded. It is only a question of when will you lose not if you will lose.
Society has incentivized women getting a divorce. They have more to gain by being married for a little while and then getting goodies for atleast 18 years via divorcing. Trying to keep a young family together in the west is a fool's errand these days.
Some people here will try to sell on churches as a good option but that is just not true. Christian girls these days are a meme. I went to a catholic college many years back and even then they were mainly degenerate sluts as far as the eye can see. Girls there counted themselves as virgins because they would only do anal... Converting to Christianity just to tradcuck is just not viable.
Importing a woman from Eastern Europe or Asia is not a viable solution either. As soon as you bring the woman to the west she will go turbo hypergamy after making friends here with leftist sluts and she will become immersed in the degenerate Hollywood culture.
Also why the fuck do you want to try to raise kids in the woke rainbow hellhole that is the West? Odds are likely by the time your potential kid turns 18 the state will have indocrinated them into being a marxist or a tranny. Home schooling can help for a while but it is a gamble if they can somehow resist the mainstream media bombardment that is only going to worsen from now on.
It is after considering all of these horrendous factors why I decided to be a MGTOW.
