Eggs are Expensive, Sperm is Cheap: 50 Politically Incorrect Thoughts for Men - Paperback

by Greg Krehbiel (Author)

The current cultural assumptions about love, sex, dating and marriage are not only absurd, but a danger to society and to individuals. We've taken the most successful institution known to man, tinkered with it, played with it, and toyed with it until it's barely functional. Marriage simply isn't such a great deal these days, which is why many people are opting out. Especially young men. And if you look at the stats on divorce and the way men are treated in the family courts, you can hardly blame them. This little book says the problem lies with all the modern assumptions we've tagged on to marriage. Marriage is (or at least it was) the structure that took the complicated mess of human nature and created a legal and social framework that used our natural impulses and desires to create a stable society. Marriage is what keeps human cultures from devolving into chaos. As western society has gotten further and further from a reality-based perspective on the sexes, marriage has been on the rocks. Some say there's even a marriage strike. These 50 politically incorrect thoughts call young men to abandon the modern approach and look at love, marriage and sex from a different point of view. It's a call to be counter-cultural in a way the hippies couldn't have imagined. Please note: this is not a scholarly work. If you're looking for studies and footnotes, look elsewhere. This book isn't intended to prove anything. It simply offers a different perspective.
