Devil's advocate: he argues that by living up to your own standards and values and marrying a woman, you will indeed become vulnerable, but your moral rectitude will remain untarnished, despite the vicissitudes that life - and perhaps your spouse - will put you through.
Your wife may turn out to be an evil shrew, but you don't have to reciprocate in kind. Also, you can forestall financial ruin by prenups and what have you. It's not much, but at least it's something.
Living up to one's own moral standard or this jackass's moral standard? It sounds like the latter to me, and his sense of morality is no less depraved than the feminists'. Someone who says "Be miserable because my fucked up sense of right and wrong tells you to" isn't someone that anyone should be listening to.
Also, you can forestall financial ruin by prenups and what have you.
Prenups are regularly thrown out by corrupt family courts. They apply an arbitrary "fairness" standard, which boils down to anything being less lucrative for the woman than the standard divorce rape being considered "unfair". Either that or she'll claim coercion, which can be as mild as the man refusing to marry without the prenup. Sorry if it feels like I'm ranting at you, but assuming that family courts follow the rule of law can be a life destroying mistake for a man.
Great point on the prenup, I was watching a video by a smarter MGTOW adjacent content creator named Martin Goldberg whos usually spot on with a lot of his takes, but he had a stupid take recently in a video where he was shaming men as "simps" for wanting to move to patriarchal countries to avoid western family courts, and his genius advice was to get an "ironclad prenup" to fight divorce rape. When I pointed out that prenups are thrown out in court, he just hit me with "just get a good lawyer bro".
