That's not the only other option, though. You just convinced yourself it is as a cope. Millions of families live a content traditional existence but you can't because it's just impossible for you only? You're making generalized excuses for your personal failures. The first step is acknowledging that unless you're too far gone.

Every useful quality of life metric shows that men are happier and live longer if they are married to women while the reverse is true for women, but I think women are happier in old age if they had children because the support of family is comforting. Households are indisputably better with both mom and dad.

No one needs eachother more than the other. There's a reason why the social conventions of partnerships exist and it is absolutely integral that those partnerships are supported by emotional constructions like love and mutual respect. Society doesn't stay sane for long without them.

Both men and women failures- MGTOW, TRP and "single flirty forty and femcel" types, are not winning. They didn't crack the code or hack the system to find a better way. They're the most easily worn down by propaganda and not evolutionarily fit to continue. Making your personal failures about gender war is just cope.
