Funny thing is you describe my ex to a T. So how is that the opposite? Seems the same to me.
It is all from what angle you want to look at it. Except for my older sister, none of the women I described are *****es, and yet, they want to be strong and independent. Nothing wrong with that, but that is not always going to work with the guys in their lives.
Actually, I think the younger guys are coming to grips with the new reality of stronger women, who are not inclined to be deferential towards men, who have their idea of how their life, and their family, and their husband should be, and are not going to compromise their own sense of how it all should be. Until they go to LOS...5555!!!
But, really, Paul, why do you think the fertility rate among farangs in Western countries and Europe is not enough to keep the human race from dying out, if it was up to us? A rate of 2.0 means that for every two people, two children are born. Two replacing two results in no growth or decline(actually a slight decline, because of normal death rates among young people, 2.11 is the minimum rate to sustain a culture). Historically, no culture has survived once the downward spiral begins, and the fertility rate drops as low as 1.9. Barring a miracle, Western culture, as we know it, is doomed,
In France, a typical Western country, the farang reproduction rate is 1.8, which would means that the white race is dying off there, and is doomed to disappear. While the Muslim rate is 8.1, which means it is quadrupling in every generation! And will be the majority in 40 yrs.
In Germany, the non-Muslim fertility rate is 1.3. In Spain, it is 1.1. Across the entire European Union, it is 1.38.
The Netherlands will be a country with a Muslim majority is 16 years. Belgium is close behind them. Germany and France will have Muslim majorities by 2050.
The white US and Canadian fertility rate is 1.6. Not enough to sustain the existing culture. With a higher Latino birthrate, the average US birthrate is 2.11. That is the bare minimum to sustain a culture. Barely enough, but only thanks to the macho Latino culture, where the guys are still more in charge.
And what is the difference between the thriving Muslim culture and the dying Western culture? The biggest single difference I can think of is the place of women in society. I think the Muslim approach is a bit extreme. But it works! I think the farang approach is maybe not the best for our society. But, if that is the way the women want it, then so be it! Because in our times, they get their way.
It is women's right to claim their independence and power(or whatever label you put on it). And it is great for the Muslims. And it's great for all the TGs, who are snagging farang hubbies(including you!). And maybe even me some day! 555....
