In ways small and large every day, you realize what's happened to Texas is that there are no more Hanks. There's not really any Boomhauers anymore either. Just Bills and Dales. -OS
People like you are why the last Elder Scrolls game was released in 2011.

Men are currently being judged by two entirely contradictory benchmarks. Many modern women want "buffet-style" equality - they pick the parts of tradition they like and the parts of modernism they want, leaving the man to carry the rest.
1. โThe Traditional Provider: He is still expected to pay for the dates, buy the house, bear the primary financial burden, and act as the physical protector.
2. โThe Modern Househusband: Simultaneously, he is expected to do half the cooking, cleaning, and child-rearing, while abandoning any expectation that she fulfill a traditional domestic role.
3. โThe Result: The man is stretched to his absolute limit, expected to be a ruthless earner outside and a soft, domestic equal inside, while the woman gets to redefine her role however she sees fit.
This is the one that haunts me. The 95.5 guy will likely blaze his own path and do something outside of a structure. The guy who pushed up 4 points between midterm and final looks like the biggest loser in the world at the midterm but is actually above average.
This is the death of society. The median citizen looted, buried, and shamed, because THEY DIDN'T LIE, while everything rots from the head as incompetent liars fill the upper ranks.
Society dies with Mister 59.
