The State Of Love In America: It's Not Looking Good
Female hypergamy is the clear culprit; the fantasy that the grass is always greener on another man's lawn.  Data from match apps indicates that the average woman will only "swipe right" on 6% of all men in any given dating pool.  Meanwhile, the average man will swipe right on around 60% of women.    
This means that the majority of American women suffer from delusions of grandeur and refuse to settle for men that are equal to them in terms of looks and career.

How America Has Destroyed Its Democracy, Part One: 'Democracy Is Most Vile'
This is going to be a three-part series defining the following: One, what our Founders (and others of their time) thought about democracy; two, how and why they thought it would fail; three, the kind of government and society they really wanted; and four, the role that feminism has played in destroying American democracy. The Founders didn’t foresee the fourth point, but they weren’t prophets and couldn’t predict everything. They knew history, though, and women have never done to any society what feminists have done to America. There is really no historical parallel. I’ll discuss that later.
