I guess I'm still unclear about the first part of my question then.
What discrimination of men and women? I think we have to backtrack a bit here, what planet?
These are some of the opening remarks of this article: > It is usually the young father’s criminal behavior, the spells of incarceration that so often follow, a pattern of intimate violence, his chronic infidelity, and an inability to leave drugs and alcohol alone that cause relationships to falter and die.” > Over the past half-century, the number of men per capita behind bars has more than quadrupled. and this is t…

Damn. This is the first I’m hearing I wasn’t allowed to have a job AND play PS5. I’ll have to rectify this at once. What are the rising standards though? Not beating your wife?
>What are the rising standards though? If you're on a dating app, that's one impression of the dating pool, so it's no wonder some dudes take the 6'0"+, $100k+, abs or gtfo lists seriously And if you are wondering why they are being heavily influenced by that, gestures to article
> Those who sit at or near the apex of the social ladder (who decide what behaviors are prestigious) have decided that family stability is unimportant. The author unironically writes this after pointing out that research shows that affluent families the share of families with biological parents has only dropped to 85% from 95% while the share for poor families has dropped to 30% from 95%. The idea that the social ape…
Specifically, it says the ruling class no longer publicly supports traditional family structures, despite continuing to follow them for themselves.
Nobody these days would have anything bad to say about single mothers, or unmarried couples. But when you look at the behaviour of the top 20 percent in socioeconomic status? They're all forming married two-parent households.
(The book covers a load of other topics and supports its observations a lot more than my short HN post, naturally)

Could it simply be over-regulated in the housing generation aspect, but under-regulated in the housing distribution aspect?
These are (strongly?) correlated though, right? Over-regulating distribution should reduce generation because builders can’t depend as much on pricing signals.
> Amy, a white thirty-year-old mother of three, ages six, five, and three, had a boyfriend who worked steadily but insisted on spending on selfish pursuits. This is what eventually broke the young couple up. ‘He wouldn’t spend money for the kids’ food. I had to send my kids across the street to my mom’s to feed them and stuff. That’s what I got fed up with. I shouldn’t have to live like that…I said it’s time for him…
Your translation is dishonest and dumb. Having three kids doesn't mean they were from three different guys.
> “Chanel, a white thirty-three-year-old with three children, ages fifteen, nine, and three, broke up with her youngest child’s father just after we met her for the first time. When we ask about him later, she says dismissively, ‘He’s not around no more. I got rid of him…He was only here to sleep—didn’t want to pay no bills, didn’t want to do nothing. When he was here all he did was fight and argue and drink. I had t…

The problem is that god is dead; we killed him and as far as I know, there is no way to bring him back.
What is so great about religion as a reason to live? I want to live because life is fun some of the time and death is boring. Isn't that what Nietzsche was saying about "God is dead"? Did either of us read the book itself?
It is good you found out. I found my contentment is similar, but for me it was a journey and it took most of my adult life to understand it. Some people do not agree with your assessment nor can they understand it at all. It is nice to have a simple “what is life for” explained in “because god said so” or short stories of sheppards and people living a simple life.
Regarding Nietzsche it took more than 2 millennia of western philosophy to get to him. For people that never were exposed to philosophy his works are as comprehensible as the Heisenberg uncertainty.

Chronic pain (pvps) has a 1-2% incidence rate, and can be treated in many cases. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5503923/ Options for women include childbearing, which bears risk of severe medical complications and death; hormonal birth control, which is mood-altering, causes weight gain, unsatisfactory sex; IUDs with risk of chronic pain; and condoms which always seem to magically slip off.
1-2% of having permanent pain between my legs sounds like an ENORMOUS amount
Man I hate when people use the phrase “broken home” unironically. My parents divorced when I was young and I can assure the writer that both of my homes were always whole. Do you know what breaks a home? Two people who no longer want to live together being forced to cohabitate because of regressive notions of the what makes an effective family. Definitely preferred swapping weekends with each parent to having to list…
Luckily I got a step dad later on who stepped right up. I wouldn't be who I am today without him, he's awesome.
