Mozart’s opera Don Giovanni is considered one of the best operas of all time. At one point, the peasant girl Zerlina is seduced by the licentious nobleman Don Giovanni, but they are interrupted before proceeding. Her (unconsummated) infidelity discovered, she goes to her fiance and begs him to forgive her. Specifically, she requests for himContinue reading “All Women Are Like That (1787 edition)”

“Sluts” and “whores” are often words used interchangeably, but to my mind they have rather different meanings. A “slut” is a woman who is promiscuous for fun. Specifically, I would identify a “slut” as a woman who exceeds a sexual partner count of 15-20 or so where it appears that she becomes incapable of aContinue reading “Sluts and Whores”

Tolstoy wrote that arranged marriage was common in Russia before 1800 or so. Typically, the larger the estate, and the more at stake, the less things would be left to a young man or woman’s “feeeelingz.” Mr. Darcy, in Pride and Prejudice, has an effective arranged marriage with Anne de Bourgh, the heir of aContinue reading “What Arranged Marriage Looks Like”

Conservatives are often called the “brakes on the runaway Progressive train.” They slow down the process of degeneracy caused by Cultural Marxism, but don’t do much to repair it, or reverse the process. Usually, “conservatives” regard whatever the norms of their youth were as “traditional.” When “dating” (premarital sex in monogamous relationships) became popular inContinue reading “The Slippery Slope”

I was once in a long conversation with a friend, who was the sole earner in a family of five (three daughters!) with a stay-at-home wife. This ranged over many topics, and was one of my early learning experiences regarding husband/wife relations. Basically, he had a consistent problem (in my view, and I think heContinue reading “Control The Money”

If courtship is difficult to imagine today, arranged marriage is so totally alien to us that it rarely even crosses people’s minds as a possibility. But — listen up, Disney Princess girls — it was the way actual princesses got married for centuries. I mention this in respect to the difficulties of constructing a TraditionalContinue reading “Maybe We Should Have Arranged Marriages?”

In the era of Courtship (before 1920), young women generally lived at their father’s house until they were married. This produced a desirable wife — young, virginal, innocent, well-trained, well-cared-for, horny as heck and anxious for a home and husband of her own. But, a young man who lived at his father’s house was notContinue reading “Men Before Marriage”

I have been enjoying this summary by Sigma Frame about the state of “courtship models” today. But, as I have said, I do not want to repeat this analysis, which has been very well done by others, nor particularly add to it, since I think we have mostly done enough by this point, and whatContinue reading “Characteristics of Courtship”

It is said that “you can’t turn a hoe [slut, whore] into a housewife.” Today, we have statistics on that. Indeed, socialpathology.blogspot.com has had quite a lot of insightful material on precisely this topic.

Unfortunately, some statistics on marriage are hard to interpret. For example, if everyone got married at age 26, then the “percentage of people age 20-30 who are married” would be 50%. This is a better site for understanding when people get married, or got married in 2010-2015, the period of data collection. Percentage of PeopleContinue reading “Age of Marriage, 2015”
