The New York Times has a strange question about half the population.
“Where did you go, man?” ask Rachel Drucker from the New York Times Modern Love Column. “Please come back.” Drucker is a divorced 54-year-old “intellectual property expert” with about 40 years of dating experience, according to her admission. It is a rare form of experience that loses value as it accumulates. (Related: There’s another gender gap no one has talked about – and that could just be the fate of a Democrat)
On a date after the last and last cancellation, Drucker observes “.The prominent absence of men – at least of the men who sat in what looked like a date. “She laments “collective change” in men’s behavior. It was wider. culture. The slow disappearance of existence. ”
This is Mount Everest of unintended New York Times operational humor. Pure hilarious

Let’s take Drucker to her words and assume that she is not just experiencing a natural reduction in male attention associated with aging. Why do men go on passive dates?
“I remember when some of the heterosexual male culture appeared to women to show something to women – status, success, desirability,” writes Drucker. “Women were once valuable meanings to other men as well. It wasn’t necessarily healthy, but it meant that men had to come in and put in some effort.”
Drucker makes a poor detective. Women have worked very hard to devalue themselves as women. Women have threw themselves into the workplace, the military and higher education. Women were to have all the privileges that men enjoyed (the responsibility of the cult). At the height of #MeToo, men were warned that simply opening the door for women could be a chivalrous little bit of a woman’s independence. Do you wonder if men are eager to “put some effort”?
Drucker casually says, “It looks like so many men are making a mistake in the connection. It’s a permanent thing. Maybe. Check in emojis. See where it goes, where it goes, where it goes.” We call it a situation. But that’s avoidance.
“Status” is one of the more disgusting neophyticisms born out of modern courtship. It shows widespread women’s complaints about new sexual norms. There is a tried and true solution to negotiate the desires of conflicting men/female: marriage between two individuals at a relatively young age is ready to commit to each other for life.
Drucker does not consider such a solution. Her lament is not for the nuclear family, but for a one-night traditional late 20th century practice. “There were times when, not too long ago, even the stands for the night could end up with tangled limbs and shared breakfast,” she writes. “When the act of staying overnight doesn’t announce a relationship, it’s just a willingness to be human for a few more hours. Now even such scripted contacts feel rarely.
This is ironic.
The New York Times have led a massive mainstream media campaign for the past 40 years to disgrace, persecute men and promote women’s dominance.

Ah, “I’ve had a cake and am shocked and upset to see that I don’t have it anymore.” The “sexual revolution” of the 1960s promised an endless joy. It brought about the reality that most of both sexes were more dissatisfied than ever and hostile to each other. (Related: Gen Z influencers have plans to save young men from themselves)
However, Drucker has different hypotheses about this problem. “I told you, maybe the world is something your role offers, performs, protects, and never feels,” she thinks. If masculinity is gradually decreasing “toxicity” and genders are gradually becoming more equal, then men should not do so Feeling More than ever?
She continues, “I listened when a woman spoke – I really heard it.”
Without a doubt, many husbands still listen with caution when they ask what sandwiches their wife prefers. But Drucker gave her work. She and others of her likeness could endure to hear a little more of their own.
