Summary: A wonderful, wonderful book
Comment: This book is as true as the day it was first published. Men truly need women, as the author writes, to "socialize and civilize" them. Without the influence of women, men are left to their own devices, and become slaves to their passions, which generally results in what would be termed "anti-social" behavior. "Radical feminism" is not good for this country, or any other. Rather than trying to make the sexes "equal", we should appreciate the differences. The author notes it is these differences that make society "work". This book is a great little gem, and definitely worth your time.

Summary: Thoughtful and Concise
Comment: George Gilder's Men and Marriage thoughtfully explores how single adult males differ from married adult males in a number of different ways, from income to mental illness. While denial of nature has been in vogue over the last 25 years or so when one gets enmeshed in the age-old "nature vs nurture" debate, GG shows how it is relevant and how both genders benefit from marriage in practical and intangible ways. Marriage socializes and/or tames men and as a result their energies are channeled in a more productive manner; everyone benefits. Thought provoking and highly recommended!

Summary: Single men may go crazy if they don't get married
Comment: Single men are criminal barbarians if they don't get married. Single men don't pay the bills and don't hold down their low paying jobs. Offended yet? Gilder does have evidence to back up what he has to say, although as single man, I can't say that all the pathologies that he says I might have, apply to me. Isolation that men gravitate towards does cause loneliness and a sense that your out of the life force's loop, so to speak. And isolation leads to depression, which may lead to suicide. He says that men are happier married, although to him them talk about their wives and kids, you'd never know. If a man gets divorced, will he be worse off than when we was just single? Gilder doesn't delve into this question much. But it's nice to see someone defending marraige, which is a rarity these days. Most of the time I hear that's it's hard work or that it's tough or you shouldn't get married if you're not sure you're compatible. I even hear this from traditional Christian media that believe in marraige but doesn't sell it too well when they emphasize the problems of marraige all the time. So if anyone is happily married, I would never know. But I think marraige may become a thing of the past since more and more people are living together in unstable relationships that eventually end, often producing children as well. It is hard to get married if no one in society wants to get married anymore. He also points out that male sexuality is based on meaningless pleasure than leads to no where and does not lead him into becoming a husband and father which would give him a meaningful role in life. A man has to be pushed into this by society, for his own good, even though initially he sees this as oppressive. Society no longer does that enough to goad men into marraige. The meaningless hedonism continues. Gilder believes that the traditional sex roles uphold the the foundations of society and are not to be tampered with.
