Sexodus?!?

I am slowly making my way through the article but I wanted to comment on the sentence in the first part of the article. Unfortunately, I can't copy and paste so I am going to summarize the quote. It was the one that stated women no longer believe in monogamy so men don't find them interesting to start a relationship with because they might end up stuck caring for someone else's child. ...

Yeah, that part really set the tone for the whole article. It made me go "huh?". Like you, I don't know that there is any evidence that women are less faithful now than they were at one time.

I can tell you that I've read studies on female infidelity (actual psychology studies and not this ranting drivel) that suggest when women stray, their motive is either they're not getting the emotional intimacy or feeling the love in the relationship or the relationship itself is falling apart and they're searching for someone to rebound with. Either way, a man who takes care of his marriage should feel fairly secure.

Women also get a raw deal from a faithless husband as well. My bookkeeper wound up being a single mother of three children when her husband ran off and gave them no support (this was about a generation ago). While men might fear not being the father of their own children, a woman fears a faithless husband may run off with the younger rival and leave her entirely with the burden of raising their children.

This is my long winded way of saying men shouldn't be any more reluctant to trust their partner or get married than women are. Both have something to lose if they turn out to have chosen a partner of bad character. Sure, be careful who you trust, as in all things in life, but you have to trust someone or you wind up living alone.
