I am a mans rights supporter and most of this makes sense to me. It did not
get into the legal aspects of marriage and thats probably a goog thing
because then I would have issues with it.
Well, what sort of Talk is this? Jenna you are a Researcher? what sort
research gives you the authority to address people with terms like ”
Ba*t*rds”. The irony is the assembly laughs. I wonder how they feel if
their son or a daughter is being addressed with words like these. Is this
the walk of life at TEd or have they become so insensitive to words like
these. And the description calls this funny.
Jenna is completely phony and obviously biased. Actually recent studies
show that men who demur from marriage live longer and are much happier.
Modern marriage is a business contract from which he enters into a
potentially lifetime agreement of indentured servitude, where if the
marriage ends, in all likelihood he will be financially destroyed, lose his
kids and be forced with the threat of prison to hand over half or more than
half his salary in alimony and child support as well as lose a significant
portion of his assets including whatever stocks and retirement savings he
accumulates. Incourt the current laws are so blatantly anti-male most
outcomes of divorce basically end in extreme punitive rulings against the
soon to be ex husband thus punishing him for the divorce whether he wanted
on or not. Essentially more often than not, divorce is a punishment for
him and an economic windfall for her.
In divorce, not even his emotional investment in the marriage or the kids
is considered relevant. And often during the divorce he discovers how
little if any rights he has and what few he has casts him in the role of a
criminal who has to be supervised on child visitation day.
Divorce is over 50% and over 70& of them are initiated by women and 60% of
the reasons why women initiate divorce is boredom, greed for his assets,
influence from media, wanting to be with another person intimately, and so
on. For men marriage is a losing gamble where he takes on 100% of the risks
and receives only a small and diminishing particle of short-term
satisfaction.
Think of it this way. Some men really like the anticipation of something
adventurous like parachuting. Suppose you go up with your friends
parachuting one day and when the plane reaches its proper altitude and
you’ve got your chute on your back and right before you take the jump, a
trustworthy friend informs you that your chute has 60% chance of not
opening after you leave the plane. Though there still exists a 40% chance
that it will, would you rather discover this fact before or after you jump?
Oh, and unlike the women who are jumping you don’t get a backup chute.
If you are a rationally thinking man, would you accept those odds?
Would you still jump?
And given the known percentages of divorce, like parachuting with bad odds
against you.
Would you still get married?
Would you sign a contract whose conditions in all probability holds you
100% liable should the contract end and the other signing party can end it
anytime she wants for any reason without liability to her?
Marriage is sold to men on an emotional level and with the promise of tax
benefits that’s only available if he works certain high paying jobs, but
truthfully anyone studying the current tax code realizes he’ll pay more in
insurances and taxes married over the long run and more after the likely
inevitability of divorce.
Realistically the conditions for modern marriage offer no real incentives
for men who rationally think it out.
Sad and angry people complaining. Jeez.. Your preconceptions are a scam,
not marriage. Marry a human or stay sad.
Interesting & humorous
Being with the same person for too long gets dull no matter what you do to
“spice things up” Explains why so many spouses cheat. Humans aren’t meant
to be monogamous. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool.
Always love these TED talks.
The modern concept of marriage is one of the dumbest ideas humans have ever
invented. It’s a shame anyone actually falls for the giant ball of BS that
is “marriage”.
That was pretty good, I don’t understand why there are so many thumbs down.
Why get married when you can just have a harem?
Any man who is idiotic enough to get married in this day and age DESERVES
the financial ass raping he’s gonna get in divorce court in the form of
alimony and child support.
Marriage is a scam. There is no benefit for men in it. Plus women these
days are not even virgin before getting married and live a slutty lifestyle.
Why buy a cow that has been milked by others for free.
It was highly sarcastic but not as highly informative. It’s not a bad idea
trying to be optimistic about marriage, but when encouraging others to look
for their other half, what does this say to the minority who, as of now,
aren’t guaranteed the choice?
lol all these sour people
What next.. standup comics on the TED stage! This was barely good enough
for a TEDx talk…
Marriage is a scam!
I thought it was pretty funny…but I agree this maybe isn’t what TED is
about
This was so stupid! What a waste of my time 🙁
