I don't agree with you...
When women had no "power," the only way to get laid was to waste energy spitting game at them, waste money marrying them, or raping them...
By giving women more power, we essentially kicked them off the pedestal...Unfortunately, there are still some emotional simps out there who give women way too much attention than they deserve...
Overall, I think the world is much better for men than it ever was...As long as you don't make the mistake of getting married young, or getting married without a pre-nup....
