I think that's somewhat accurate, but somewhat too harsh as well. I don't think the damage women have been doing to themselves is irreversible. I also think it's unfair to paint them all as non-stop partying, whoring around, doing drugs, drinking followed by a decade of a career ladder. That type definitely exists, but it's not most women, nor is it even most leftist women. Plus, we can always take a look at Bridget Phetasy, who has had her fair share of problems, and is doing pretty OK right now. But you're correct that they lose out on that uber appeal they have due youth (on average), and finding a husband will be harder - but not at all impossible, look at the sheer number of single men out there. I also don't think it stops pair-bonding with an individual man - rather it enhances the process, because it forces an "Oh. I'm settling down now. There's shit I need to do, and I realize why I need to do it." It reminds me of the saying "There's no zealot like a convert." But she can't get that time back, and there's baggage because of it. I'd also hazard that among men, there's a somewhat similar phenemonon - it's just not tied to youth and appearance as much, in fact, at this point I'm like "Bring on my 40s! Shit, I get treated better by women, overall, the older I get."
I'm not as sure as you are on pair-bonding - because I see you're using it in a biological way, and I'm basically not familiar with that at all. But I see some of the things you mention as a positive - coming to the right conclusions in a long, poor, roundabout manner. I think the more conscientious women get in the situation we're discussing, the better it is. It's the same reason I have little patience for immature women regardless of any potential emotional attachment - they tend to remain immature, even throughout adulthood and have high expectations of others and very little expectations of themselves. Once they realize that they should have higher expectations for themselves and act moderately in accordance with that, they become a lot more attractive in general, at least to my thinking. Before that, they've basically got a huge penalty to their ability to be a girlfriend or spouse.
I think probably you have too negative a view overall of that specific type of woman - and for me, well, I probably have a bit too positive a view, so maybe in this case, the answer really is somewhere in the middle. Or potentially we're talking about different groups of women. I just haven't met or known many women, or women who had friends like that - and I live in a major city. But I've known more than enough who blindly parrot leftist talking points, believe deeply in leftist ideals that consistently let them off the hook for poor behavior, poor actions, and so on - they don't need to have taken 28 dicks by the time they're 25 for that to be the case. I see them more as the type who posts stuff on FB, or Twitter, look how happy, and successful they are - this Lauren Southern video comes to mind, except maybe 15-25% worse off than she implies.
The ones you're describing are really far off the rails - and maybe they'll come to it later or not, but I'm not so sure. The number of partners you describe, the drug use, and so on almost to me says "This isn't just leftism." Leftism can definitely lead you there, but there have been women like that on the right, or who at least would say they're on the right while not exactly being the most shining examples of the right. I only point this out to say that since things are so polarized, let's not overlook that there are things out there that contribute to this that aren't necessarily related to political ideology.
That said, if we can find more common ground rather than your examples of say, a 44 year old former feminist who had guys snorting coke off her ass since she was 16, and tone that down a bit to what I feel is more realistic, then I think there's plenty of people on the right, and men in general who will be there for them. I feel there are feminists, and there are DAMNED feminists. The latter always double downs. The prior is far less invested in it and more interested in the results - and when those results don't pan out, repeatedly, they look for something that does get them the results they want. But yeah, society is always going to have some outcasts, and after the outcasts, it's going to have those who made poor choices, then compounded them with even more poor choices. That type, regardless of gender, I don't think is going to find endings too happy.
Ironically, I feel women need their own version of Jordan Peterson. As Eric Weinstein put it, he solves the world Uncle crisis: The older, mature family member who can tell you how it really is, unlike your parents (usually), because of the parental relationship. Gives you your first beer, instead of telling you that women are special and amazing individuals who should be praised he can warn you that they're just people, they've got their ups and downs and share some stories. Women have nothing like that. They've got fucking feminism, which is like the toxic opposite of that. I've seen younger women who've gotten advice from older women about their romantic relationships - and the gist is generally that the younger women don't know how good they have it, not just for reasons of youthful appearance. And of course, the occasional advice trying to shun them away from poor romantic choices (i.e: immature men, men who are not looking for relationships but think they are, and so on). Feminism man. Hell of a drug.
