Because the common men, especially the high performing common men, were talking the 60-80% will just stop working. They’ll go and build another society that “gets it.” As we’re speaking, Chinas reforming the family courts cos everyone’s “lying flat” and Russia is cheerleading pro-orthodoxy to fix their own sexual issues. Divorce is illegal in the Philippines. I believe that’s what the student loans are really about. They’re a way to keep something similar from happening in the US.Thanks to their connections and good looks, they go on to become managers and directors at powerful companies, or they go into politics. The cycle continues as they accumulate wealth and power and pass it on to their sons. Why would they want anything to change? Why do they care what the bottom 90% of men get? They are living the good life.
Imagine that though - the US has basically en-serfed (is that a word?) its male population so women can go have sex and break up families whenever they feel like.
As for the meta-consequences of this. I believe we are in the infancy of this coming to pass. SNAP, section 8, all of it is being cut. Productivity is down and I can tell the pace of life is just slower in the 20s than it was in 10s. It’s definitely slower than the 00s. No men working = no section 8, SNAP, WIC etc.
