Interesting article, though nothing surprising.

Anyone heard of this Bennett? His book sounds interesting: http://tntradebooks.com/bookofman/
Sent this response to the girl who emailed it to me. Thought I'd break it down in terms she might understand.
Thanks to feminism the best men have no incentive to settle down. High status men's dating options grow as they grow older. They can date younger women for as long as they like. There's no reason to get married anymore and there's no particular benefit; in the US you make a 2:1 odds that you may lose half your assets - without any upside.
Lower status men are left behind and retreat into video games as better men monopolise all the desirable women. As women become more accomplished, their potential dating pool shrinks since they generally want to date up, or at least date men they can respect in some way. This arrangement can be made to work for the well-off, but not the middle classes and down. Divorce and single parent families are the biggest drivers of the current US homelessness epidemic.
This means more boys raised without male role models, meaning the problem grows from this generation to the next. It's a bleak future.
