I appreciate your thoughts on the matter.

The numbers reflect several issues, but the most important point here is that the welfare state undermines the traditional family and civil society by redistributing resources from successful patterns of behavior and lifestyles to non-successful ones.

The welfare state also undermines the very values and virtues that created the wealth that made the welfare state possible in the first place. Again, by punishing virtue and by rewarding vice.

As such, the welfare state is dysfunctional in the long run. It is not evolutionarily stable, so to speak.

Do not make the mistake. Do not adopt our model.

As to anger and frustration:

Well, I got annoyed by what I saw as the perpetuation of the myth that individual men more or less treated women horrible in the past.

That, in my view, is an oversimplification. The majority of men were just trying to make it. To support their families. They were way too busy to go around oppressing women all the time.

By the way. I will be writing about the welfare state on my blog. You are more than welcome to comment there. I use the disqus system too. (In fact that is how I found this post)

Well.

In theory it is possible that you know more about Denmark and state feminism in Denmark than I do. I Live here. I am Danish. So the odds are against it.

Pay cannot explain the numbers. The numbers stem from the fact that the welfare state milks men to support single mothers and their illegitimate children.

Self education never harmed anyone. I meant no offense by suggesting it.

Still, I apologize. I read the link and your life history is impressive.

No, of course you did not.

You were plenty busy focusing on how bad men have treated women.

For you information men generally have not treated women badly. Not now. Not historically.

If you want to believe the feminist dogma there is not much I can do about it, but for you own sake educate yourself.

Nor can the numbers be explained away by workforce participation. The numbers are corrected for that already. By the way, in Denmark men and women participate almost equally in the workforce.

The reason for the difference is that men die young working while women live to become old and thus dependent on the state.

Open your eyes my friend. Things are not what they seem.

Yes, women receive more from men than the reverse:

"Women's lower average net contribution and longer life span means that an average female can expect to receive 2.4 mill. dkr ( ~400.000 $ ) more from the public than she pays. On the other hand the average male can expect to pay 0.8 mill. dkr ( ~133.333 $ ) more than he receives from the public."

This is from an official government report by the Danish government. At the same time men privately spend twice as much on women as the opposite.

So yeah. You are right. Men do spend a lot to help and protect women.

Quoting you: "When it comes to the psychology of men, no one truly understands it as well as women"

You gotta be kidding right?
