RUSH: How about this headline: \u201cWhy Are Marriage Rates Down?\u201d Did you know that, Brian? Fewer people getting married? Why do you think it is? Mr. Snerdley, if you were to be told \u2013 and I\u2019m telling you now — that marriage rates in America are down, why do you think that would be? There\u2019s no wrong answer here. I\u2019m just curious. What\u2019s the first thing that pops \u2013 (interruption) What? Yeah, but why aren\u2019t the Millennials getting married?<\/p>\n

Well, I\u2019ll tell you. According to this study (chuckling) — this is going to destroy the Feminazis — the reason people are not getting married, according to this study in the Journal of Marriage and Family, is a lack of economically-attractive men.<\/p>\n

\u201cMarriage rates have steadily declined over the past few decades, and now researchers from Cornell University are offering up a possible explanation: there just aren\u2019t as many economically-attractive men for unmarried women to meet as there used to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, let me share something with you. Way back in the 1960s when I was a kid, and many of you who have been lifers will remember the story or elements of it, that I did not want to go to college. I knew what I wanted to do. It was radio. Anything I did I wanted to further that. I looked at college as a four-year halt, as a four-year obstacle in the road. I didn\u2019t want any part of it.<\/p>\n

\"\"My father was devastated. He came from the Great Depression. The only way out was with a college degree. If you didn\u2019t have one, in his lifetime, if you didn\u2019t have a college degree, you had no prayer of ever amounting to anything. So he spent countless hours and years trying to impress upon us — my mother, too — the importance of going to college. And I remember one night he sat me down and he told me all the things that would happen to me, all the bad things that would happen if I didn\u2019t go to college.<\/p>\n

Now, I don\u2019t remember all of them. But a couple of them were, you will not be able to maintain the economic standard of living you have become accustomed to. You\u2019re not going to be able to get a job that pays you enough. You\u2019re not going to maintain your current social circle of friends. They\u2019re going to go way above and beyond you and they\u2019re not going to have any interest or anything in common with you once you become adults because you didn\u2019t go to college and they did.<\/p>\n

And then he said — you\u2019ve got to remember this is all generational stuff — then he said to me, “Son, you\u2019re never going to find a woman to marry you. No woman wants to marry a man that can\u2019t support her.” Remember, this is the \u201960s — and he grew up, he was born in 1918, and in that era women didn\u2019t work. They were housewives and any number of things. They didn\u2019t work en masse. But that was the generational belief system.<\/p>\n

Of course, I\u2019m listening to all of this as a teenage know-it-all thinking none of it is going to apply to me. I remember saying, \u201cIf that\u2019s all I\u2019m going to be to some woman, I don\u2019t want to get married under those circumstances. What do you mean?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, son, I\u2019m just telling you the way of the world. There isn\u2019t a woman worth her salt who is going to marry somebody who can\u2019t support her.\u201d He said, “Son, women marry up.”<\/p>\n

I said, “What\u2019s wrong with me marrying up? What happens if I find a woman that\u2019s wealthy?”<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s not going to happen, son, not to you.” (laughing) Anyway, look how timeless. Look how timeless. Now we have researchers from Cornell University saying that marriage rates are down because women can\u2019t find men who can support them. I\u2019m not saying it. Cornell University reports it\u2019s “the lack of economically attractive men.” What does that mean? It means women want to marry somebody that has more than they do, that earns more than they do or at least has the potential. That\u2019s what this says.<\/p>\n

Snerdley says, \u201cHow can this be?\u201d Now only that, how can it be with feminism? Do you realize what a failure feminism is? Now, it\u2019s only a failure if you think marriage is a worthwhile institution. If you think marriage is not worth it, then this would be no big deal to you. But all the women in the workforce explains it. The point is people don\u2019t change.<\/p>\n

So what has changed? Women in the workforce. They don\u2019t want to be — there are exceptions to everything — they don\u2019t want to be the bread winner. They\u2019ve got to raise the kids. They\u2019ve got to give birth. At some point they all do this. Feminism, this is one of the first things that came back to bite them in the butt. They go to all these women, starting in the late \u201960s, early \u201970s, \u201cYou don\u2019t need a man. You don\u2019t need to be in a relationship. You can have it all. Single mother, you can have your baby, but you don\u2019t need to be married.\u201d<\/p>\n

So women bought into it. And then the biological timebomb started ticking and many of them in their 30s quit work to have babies when the place of employment wouldn\u2019t allow a nursery or a playpen in the office. And then when they quit work to have the baby, maternity leave, you know the percentage that did not go back to work? Men do not have this flexibility.<\/p>\n

Women have always had the real power in relationships. And they\u2019ve always had so much flexibility. So now I think the value of this story is to show how things really, in terms of just the way men and women are made, created, things don\u2019t change. You have women in the workforce and they\u2019re earning money, but they still have the same attitude about marriage.<\/p>\n

This Cornell University thing, it isn\u2019t me. I could have told you this without Cornell University and the survey research. I could have told you this, because I\u2019m one of the few remaining adults in American society and American culture. Now, previous studies\u2019 authors \u201cexamined data collected on recent marriages between 2007-2012 and 2013-2017, gathered as part of the American Community Survey\u2019s cumulative 5-year marriage statistics.<\/p>\n

\u201cResearchers found that these estimated potential \u2018dream\u2019 husbands had an average income about 58% higher than the actual unmarried men currently available.\u201d So they went out and asked women, \u201cWhat\u2019s your dream husband? If you\u2019re going to get married, what\u2019s it going to take? What\u2019s your dream husband?\u201d And they found that the dream husband had an average income 58% higher than the actual unmarried men currently available to unmarried women. So their demands, their requests, women\u2019s set of circumstances, demands, requirements for a husband, 58% higher than reality.<\/p>\n

Now, one of the reasons for this, what do you think is? Well, let me point you in a direction. How many men are not going to college today versus — as a percentage — versus years ago? It\u2019s a lot, folks. A lot of men are not going to college, which, among other things, is where people meet. But they\u2019re not going to college for specific reasons. The colleges have been chickified and men are the targets.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Women\u2019s studies creates hate for men. Men have been labeled predators and you can\u2019t trust them with their own kids. And men don\u2019t want to put up with it. They don\u2019t want to subject themselves to that. So fewer of them are going to college, which is resulting in this discrepancy between the definition of a “dream man” and what is available.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a quote from the survey. “Most American women hope to marry but current shortages of marriageable men\u2013men with a stable job and a good income\u2013make this increasingly difficult, especially in the current gig economy of unstable low-paying service jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Folks, don\u2019t get mad at me over any of this. I can\u2019t be held responsible for being the only adult and telling you the way it is. You can get mad at me all you want, but you\u2019re going to be wasting your energy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
