Men and Marriage: The Feminist Revolution and the Redefinition of Manhood
![Jese Leos](https://library.deedeebook.com/author/geoffrey-blair.jpg)
In his seminal work, "Men and Marriage," George Gilder argues that the feminist revolution has led to a profound redefinition of manhood. He traces the history of marriage from its traditional patriarchal form to its modern egalitarian form, and he argues that this change has had a devastating impact on men. Gilder believes that the feminist revolution has undermined men's authority and purpose, and that it has led to a rise in divorce rates, fatherlessness, and male violence.
The Traditional Patriarchal Family
In traditional patriarchal societies, men were the head of the household, and they had absolute authority over their wives and children. Men were responsible for providing for their families, and they were expected to be strong, stoic, and unemotional. Women were subordinate to men, and they were expected to be chaste, obedient, and nurturing.

Gilder argues that the traditional patriarchal family was a natural and healthy institution. He believes that it provided men with a clear sense of purpose and authority, and that it helped to promote social stability. He also argues that the traditional patriarchal family was beneficial for women, as it provided them with protection and security.
The Feminist Revolution
The feminist revolution began in the late 19th century, and it gradually gained momentum throughout the 20th century. The feminist revolution was a movement for women's rights, and it sought to achieve equality between men and women in all spheres of life.
The feminist revolution has had a profound impact on marriage. It has led to the decline of the traditional patriarchal family, and it has resulted in a more egalitarian form of marriage. In egalitarian marriages, both men and women share power and responsibility. They are both expected to contribute to the household income, and they are both expected to share in the childcare.
The Impact of the Feminist Revolution on Men
Gilder argues that the feminist revolution has had a devastating impact on men. He believes that it has undermined men's authority and purpose, and that it has led to a rise in divorce rates, fatherlessness, and male violence.
Gilder argues that the decline of the traditional patriarchal family has left men without a clear sense of purpose. He believes that men are no longer sure what is expected of them, and that this has led to a sense of alienation and purposelessness. He also argues that the rise of egalitarian marriage has undermined men's authority within the family, and that this has led to a decline in respect for men.
Gilder believes that the feminist revolution has also contributed to the rise in divorce rates. He argues that the decline of the traditional patriarchal family has made it easier for couples to divorce, and that the rise of egalitarian marriage has made it more difficult for couples to stay together.
Gilder also argues that the feminist revolution has contributed to the rise in fatherlessness. He argues that the decline of the traditional patriarchal family has made it easier for men to abandon their families, and that the rise of egalitarian marriage has made it more difficult for men to maintain a close relationship with their children.
Finally, Gilder argues that the feminist revolution has contributed to the rise in male violence. He argues that the decline of the traditional patriarchal family has left men with a sense of frustration and anger, and that this has led to an increase in violence against women.
Gilder's Solution
Gilder believes that the only way to reverse the negative impact of the feminist revolution on men is to return to the traditional patriarchal family. He argues that this will provide men with a clear sense of purpose and authority, and that it will help to promote social stability. He also argues that the return to the traditional patriarchal family will be beneficial for women, as it will provide them with protection and security.
Gilder's solution is a controversial one, and it is unlikely to be accepted by many feminists. However, it is a thought-provoking argument that deserves serious consideration.
