The Greeks and Romans did not have morality as part of their religion. The “religion” of the Greeks and Romans includes stuff like this:

Zeus takes the form of a swan, and rapes/seduces Leda, the wife of King Tyndareus of Sparta. She bears two children from this, Helen and Polydeuces. Later, at a feast, Zeus is asked to declare which goddess is fairest, among Hera, Athena and Aphrodite. Zeus apparently perceives that he might be in some trouble whatever his answer is, so he asks a Trojan prince, Paris, to judge between them. Paris looks at the three goddesses and declares that he can’t decide with their clothes on. So, the three goddesses get naked before him, and also make promises to Paris if he chooses them. Hera offers to make him king of Europe and Asia. Athena offers her wisdom and skill in war. Aphrodite offers him the world’s most beautiful woman. Paris takes up Aphrodite’s offer. The world’s most beautiful woman is Helen, the half-bird girl, who is now married to Menelaus, King of Sparta. Paris goes to Sparta and (with Aphrodite’s assistance) “rapes” (seduces) Helen, who goes off to Troy with Paris. This begins the nine-year Trojan War, in which Troy is reduced to ashes, and its citizens slaughtered. Aeneas, prince of Troy, escapes the burning city, wanders the Mediterranean for a while, and eventually ends up in Italy, where he founds the city of Rome.

From this, you can get an idea of why Christianity replaced this pagan gobbledygook in the fourth century.

Because the Greek/Roman religion was so inadequate for an advanced civilization, the morality of Greece and Rome was often found among the philosophers, which did not have much connection to religion. However, in the Christian tradition, the morality of the society is integrated into the teachings of the Church. As Church involvement has declined, this has left many young women today, and also their mothers, without much guidance.

A “Sex Goddess” is not a slut. Nope. A Good Girl can be a sex goddess.

You are going to be doing something together for the next forty years, so you might as well do it right.

Those babies aren’t going to make themselves.

I describe what I mean by a Sex Goddess in the Good Wife Level 5:

Since we are talking about the Good Wife Level 5 here, of course her sex life is the stuff of legend. She is not horny all the time, does not have an “insatiable sexual appetite,” and is not interested in sex with men (or women) other than her husband. Kinky and deviant things she regards as a sign of dysfunction, for people who, for some reason, can’t enjoy things the normal way. She is normally quite modest, and careful not to attract the attention of other men with suggestive dress or coquettish behavior. Other men notice anyway, and regard her with a kind of respectful admiration. Sex is not always such a big affair, because that would become silly. But, from time to time, she and her husband enjoy a long session of lovemaking, where she will have a dozen or more orgasms over the course of an hour or longer — she can never keep count. And since she has a bangin’ hot body (for her age), this is quite a lot of fun for her husband, who hardly has any interest in other women, who he knows could hardly be any better and very likely much worse. With the help of “wife goggles,” her husband considers his wife very sexy well into her forties and even fifties. Her husband too, knowing that sex is a shared endeavor and that he has to keep up his end of the deal, keeps himself in shape and polishes his lovemaking skills. If you asked the Good Wife Level 5 what she attributes her bedroom success to, she would insist it is her husband’s extraordinary ability and inherent natural sexiness, since he does the work and she mostly just rolls her eyes back and goes along for the ride. If you asked the husband, he would certainly give credit to his wife, since he is not doing anything else than any other man might do, but he is getting much better results. The Good Wife Level 5 read on the internet somewhere that 75% of women report that they rarely or never achieve orgasm during vaginal intercourse, but she regards this as ridiculous and inconceivable. She might get interested in sex as a realm of exploration and study, just as she is interested in all the other aspects of her life. She has her favorite parts of the Kama Sutra. She might get involved in Tantric sex practices, and not in a dilettantish way either. This would require the participation of her husband, who would also join her on this journey, as any man would who is not a damn fool.

This is a series originally written for men — men who, over and over, do stupid things that they should not do. Thus, they need to be talked to in plain language. I am presenting it here for women, particularly younger women, who still have something left to save. Mostly, it is pretty obvious stuff, that women can agree with. But, alas, like men, women today do the same stupid stuff over and over, which they should not do. For example:

Prescription antidepressants are bad for you. If you need evidence that you are a fucked up mess, you have it right there. So, don’t get to that point in the first place.

Don’t complain about your health. (a common means of manipulation, attention-whoring, and excusing indolence)

Don’t make fake rape claims. If you were really raped for real, you might just want to shut up about it. Also included: don’t make fake domestic violence claims. If you have really experienced real domestic violence, it is probably because you chose that kind of guy on purpose to begin with, which was obvious to everyone around you.

Don’t be messy. Also, don’t be a whore.

“Strong and Independent Woman” = noisy pain in the ass who is unfit for a relationship.

You could go on and on and on. It would be nice if a few girls today didn’t end up a shitshow at 30.

When a nation is torn apart by war, it can be rebuilt. Foundations can be re-poured and made with stronger concrete; buildings and bridges can be reconstructed using modern materials and updated practices; and infrastructures can be improved upon and modernized—things can be made better and stronger than they were in the past due to technological advancements and the know-how provided by men.

But what about the people? Sadly, the ravages of war will be etched into their minds until death. The passage of time will certainly ease old wounds, but ultimately, people can’t be rebuilt, they must be replaced. Only a new generation can come along to provide a fresh start and relieve the pain that was once endured. And even then, history will always be there to remind everyone of the past.

It’s no different than a war being waged against feminist indoctrination and “equality.” There are no buildings, bridges, and monuments to rebuild or resurrect. But there are millions of battle hardened women with cum-drenched souls, mental disorders, and everlasting baggage. If every woman in America stood up today and said she wanted to end the war and return to traditionalism, it wouldn’t change a thing. You would still have the same amount of women worthy of commitment, marriage, and bearing your children as you do right at this moment: practically zero. [editor’s note: The good ones are gone by 26.)

A new generation of women would have to be brought up in order to see an improvement, but who would be the mothers and role models for this new crop of females? Who would we entrust to raise respectable young girls who would grow into traditional women with good values? The same degenerate losers we have at our disposal right now? The same women we deliberately avoid impregnating in the first place?

They would be the ones to pull it all together and steer the ship back on course? I don’t fucking think so. The foundations and infrastructures between the sexes are far too fractured and fragmented for things to ever be what they once were—never mind being improved upon or strengthened. This is a war that isn’t even close to being over, and we’re losing.

It’s not going to get better, it’s just that simple—this is it. Women are not going to magically become friendly, feminine, chaste and well-mannered just because that’s what men want them to be. Mental illnesses are not going to miraculously disappear with a pill or therapy. The carnage from all of the drugs, alcohol, and promiscuity is a permanent fixture on the American dating landscape—it’s not a bug, it’s a feature. This is not some passing storm that one can just ride out and there are no clear blue skies just beyond the horizon. And I wouldn’t count on this forecast changing anytime during our lifetimes, either, if I were you.

Additionally, we have to accept that women are fine with this—they like the storm. They have their beta male raincoats and their government sponsored umbrellas: they’re drier than a Jewish girl’s pussy when she’s surrounded by men who don’t make good money. They’re high, they’re dry, and they don’t have anything to worry about. And why would they?

No matter how bad life gets for a woman, no matter how much of a fuck-up she becomes and no matter how much destruction she leaves in her wake—some dickhead will be there ready and willing (and enthusiastically) to break her fall. This is why they don’t take their jobs seriously; it’s why they don’t take their finances seriously; it’s why they don’t take anything seriously—because they know if things start to get the least bit difficult, men will always be be there to apply tourniquets to the most hemorrhaging areas of their lives. And the worst part is: they’ll never appreciate or be grateful for any of it.

That’s not easy to accept, especially since men have no such luxury: it’s either make it or break it, sink or swim. No matter which direction you turn, the guns of failure are aimed directly at your temple, and, in many cases, it’s women with their dirty little fingers comfortably nestled on the triggers, patiently waiting for the opportune moment to squeeze.

The modern woman is not going to take care of you. She’s not going to pick you up when you fall and she’s not going to be there for you when you fail. A supportive, decent woman is something your grandfathers and, perhaps, your fathers got to enjoy. But for you? Nope, you’re on your own, buddy. It’s on you, as a man, to step it up and get to where you want to be.

Women aren’t taught to appreciate your efforts and sacrifices. Your success as a man will always be reduced to “privilege,” luck, or some other make believe advantage or benefit that you wish like hell you truly had. Women either hate you for your success or want to use you because of it—loving you for it never enters the equation. This is the default setting on the modern female, and there’s no way to reprogram the bitch.

And that is what you are up against. You’re surrounded by a very sick group of battle-worn women, and it’s from this pool of women that you’re supposed to—somehow—find someone decent and respectable with whom you can build a solid relationship and start a family. The odds of finding a good one aren’t in your favor, and the majority of us aren’t going to make it.

Despite this unfortunate reality, we still have lives to live. We still have our biological needs and those must be met one way or another. For better or worse, these are the women we have at our disposal. So, it’s in our best interests to be proactive in our defenses, and to ensure our future and well-being stay firmly in tact. We do this by sniffing out red flags and knowing when it’s best to just walk—or run, if necessary—away. It is my goal to provide this knowledge to the very best of my ability.

Basically, if you want a good marriage and family, you better actually do something that produces that result — and from a young age, like 16. If you spent all your time and energy doing everything that is contrary to that result, it might not happen.

Unfortunately, women can’t figure this out for themselves, until after the age of 30, when it is too late for most of them. That is why older women like Suzanne Venker have to explain it.

Lori Alexander, of The Transformed Wife, wondered why today’s Christians don’t support getting married young. In the past, women got married around age 16-25, with the peak and ideal window around age 18-20.

It wasn’t that long ago — the 1950s and 1960s — when the age of first marriage was about the lowest in US history.

Even today, millions of women (about 14% of all married women) marry their high school sweethearts, typically around age 18-20. Commonly, these relationships begin when the girl is 15-17. And, they often involve “dating.”

In Mexico, and elsewhere in Spain and Latin America, a girl was considered ready for courtship at age 15. This was celebrated as the quinceanera.

In the US, “Sweet Sixteen” was a similar celebration, and 16 was a typical age of “debut” among the upper classes.

Apparently, it is OK if a 16yo girl and 17yo boy become a couple and get married a year or two later. But, it is not OK if a 21yo man and a 16yo girl become interested in each other, perhaps not even “dating,” but an actual courtship, and they actually get married. Anything but that! If that same 21yo man gets married to another 21yo man, well, that’s OK, even among some Christians. Every kind of degeneracy is tolerated and celebrated, but not that.

“But,” seems a common complaint, “a girl that age is not mature enough to make a commitment of marriage.” Unless, apparently, she marries a boy of the same age who is equally clueless. Then, it’s OK. But, if she were to court with a man of 25, who is probably more capable of supporting a wife and children, and not so clueless, somehow that’s a problem.

In the 1850 data above, the peak of the curve (the mode) is about 19 for women, and about 24 for men.

The real Laura Ingalls began courting the real Almanzo Wilder when she was 15, and he was 25. They married when she was 18, in the year 1885.

Nevertheless, it is true that women of that age have bad judgement. That is why, in the past, the process was inevitably guided by the parents, who would make an effort to ensure that their daughters met the right sort of men. Of course their permission was required for marriage.

Some of this comes from the Feminist types, who are worried that, once they get tired of “learning about what kind of men they want,” during the ages 15-30, there won’t be any men left to save their hoe ass. Sensible men don’t want to wait around for a decade until their future wives get tired of having sex with other men. They would be looking for younger women without all this sordid history, who have more than a few months left in their prime childbearing years of ages 16-32, who have some remaining pair bonding capability, who haven’t been poisoned by feminist/Leftist filth in college, who aren’t already married to their careers, and who don’t have such a nasty fucking attitude. They might seek out sixteen year olds who they might marry at age 18.

Even today, about 60% of college students are virgins when they enter college. Avoiding premarital sex is not so hard when you only have to avoid it until age 20.

I estimate that about 20% of American women make good wives. Another 20% or so could have made good wives, but things didn’t work out. The median age of marriage today is about 28, but a woman who gets married at age 28 is often in a relationship with the man she will marry by age 26, or earlier. I think most of the 20% of women that make Good Wives are gone by 26. Of the 20% that could have made good wives, but didn’t; by age 26, most of them have been too far corrupted.

These numbers, admittedly, leave out the Fuglies, some of whom might make good wives to equally Fugly men. No woman should be Fugly, and wouldn’t be, if she ate well and got some exercise. Oh well.

So, by age 26, the good women are gone. They are no longer single. A few are, but they are the stragglers. So, who is left?

About 25% of non-Hispanic White children today are born to Single Moms. Let’s say that means that about 25% of non-Hispanic White women become Single Moms. Probably, they are not married by 28 either. If half of women are married by then, but none of the Single Moms, that means about half of single women over 26 are Single Moms. If 20% of women are confirmed sluts, and these don’t get married by 26 (before their Epiphany Phase), then 40% of the women who are left after age 26 are Sluts. Plus, all the other wreckage and leftovers. When the good ones are gone, it seems like all the women who are left Are Like That.

Marriage and Civilization (2014), by William Tucker, is a worthwhile book for many reasons. Among them is a mention of something that I have not heard anywhere else — the “Family Wage” agreement.

The “family wage” emerged in the late 19th century to allow women to withdraw from the workforce.

To unregulated capitalism, men, women, and children were interchangeable. … by expanding the workforce, all could be paid lower wages. … The response was a series of reforms that attempted to limit the role of women and children in the workplace. … All this came to a crescendo in the Family Wage Movement of the early twentieth century, led by a coalition of the Catholic Church, the labor unions, the social welfare movement, and even some Socialist political parties. The core principle was that the head of the household should be able to make a “living wage” that would support his family without his wife and children having to work. As John A. Ryan, a leading American Catholic reformer, wrote in A Living Wage, published in 1906: “The welfare of the whole family, and that of society likewise, renders it imperative that the wife and mother should not engage in any labor except in the household.”

Marvelously, the “Family Wage” achieved three major reforms at one stroke: 1) it raised men’s wages by limiting the size of the workforce; 2) it strengthened families by freeing women to concentrate on child-rearing; 3) it equalized incomes across society. ...

Although never actually formalized by statute, the Family Wage system became an informal contract in European and American society through the first half of the twentieth century. The general principle was that married women should not work. (p. 149-150)

Of course, this began to deteriorate in the 1960s.

Perhaps the most critical blow to the monogamous culture of the 1950s came with the demise of the “family wage,” the system adopted informally in America and Western Europe at the start of the twentieth century. The goal of the family wage was to strengthen families and distribute income more evenly across society by limiting everyone to one wage-earner per family. In practice, this became a simple rule: unmarried, divorced, or widowed women could work but married women were expected to stay at home with their children. This was regarded by middle-class reformers as a triumph for lower-class women who would now be able to create a protected domain in the home just as their middle-class counterparts had already done.

Unfortunately, the family wage was a disadvantage to one specific group — highly educated, professionally ambitious women. They would spend four years at college gaining useful skills and then be forced to “retire” as housewives. (p. 217)

Allyson Rowe, who looked in danger of becoming a professional “Season of Singleness” coach in the manner of Wendy Griffith or Mandy Hale, has recently joined the New Wives club. Now go make some babies.

I guess there is a genre of young mostly Christian women making videos about how to be a better wife, and they are all at least an 8/10. Some of their advice is a little floppy, but if you start with the idea of “what can I do for my husband and family” it is almost impossible to go wrong.

As I have said before, being a stay-at-home wife without children is what I have called a “woman of leisure.” Husbands don’t require so much attention that they should occupy very much time. Often a new house will benefit from a round of serious decorating, in preparation for children later when there won’t be time to shop for sofas, plant daffodils or paint the bathroom. Learn how to cook. Get in the habit of working out every day. Learn about nutrition, and homeschooling.
