If it was not for the "freed" women who have no man to temper their constant need to seek happiness in buying new things, the retail landscape would be 10% of what it is today. Men buy clothes to be dressed, the fallen women buy clothes to change colors every day. A man has two or three shoes for years, a woman has bought 50 shoes or more during the same time.

The "freed" woman can't afford to have children. The "freed" woman can't afford to stay home and raise a family. The "freed" woman raises freed daughters who multiply the spending. The husband has to be away from the family working all his life, while the freed woman and the daughters spend all the money. If the man gets a divorce the freed woman gets his money.
What man is his right mind would want to be married today?

The "freed" woman drives a totally unnecessary part of the economy.

Maybe.

Times have changed and people are WEIRD. Not that I'm Worldly by any means, but just go people watch sometime at the mall or something. Disgusting people, you'd think they just escaped prison with their tattoos and piercings.

better to marry than to burn. However, women married in the past because they had to. Now, it is just one option among many in a lifestyle. People used to have kids to help them on farms, or at work, to bring in money, to assist them in old age. Now, this is not necessary, in fact the parents are supporting adult children. So marriage, children, have become nothing more than a lifestyle option, which fewer and fewer are selecting in europe and the US. Proof of this is the falling fertility rate among white and black women in the US. Hispanic women seem to be fertile at above replacement rates for some reason. One in 6 adults between the ages of 18 and 49 has genital herpes due to promiscuity. You can verify this at CDC.gov.
I think the situation will get worse, unfortunately.

The "freed" woman doesn't spend the money made by the husband. The "freed" woman has a career of her own and likely makes a salary that rivals that of many men.

Why would a man want to marry a "freed" woman?

So he does not have to shoulder all the financial burden of supporting a family because his "freed" woman makes a salary that allows him to work less and play more.

His "freed" woman does not want many children, keeping the family small and his expenses down.

The "freed" woman often takes care of the family budget, relieving her husband of the financial worries.

Who does a "freed" woman marry? A "freed" man.

If I wasn't a traditional Catholic, I wouldn't want to be married, and I wouldn't have married.

Those kind of women -- you can have them.

I read a thread about (non-Catholic) men talking about their women problems (modern women) and that convinced me.

The woman's needs fuel the man being away from home, doing lots of working. Either the woman is at work, which causes its own problems, or she is at home with too much time on her hands. Woman compare diamond sizes, cars, house features, etc. and other things they've gotten their husbands to do for them. The husband tries to give her some of these "upgrades" to keep up with the joneses, and to keep his wife happy. But now he has to work even harder to earn a lot of money, which causes him to be home even less. Eventually, the end game is that the wife ends up falling for a co-worker, neighbor, stranger she met online, etc. because she doesn't get to see much of her husband. At the end of this, the husband ends up getting divorced and losing a large portion of his wealth. What a raw deal!

The worldly (American, average worldling) culture is totally against the idea of marriage. Unless you can find a woman who isn't part of this, and who believes marriage is for life, FORGET IT!

If you're going to be non-religious, just living for this world, DON'T GET MARRIED. The woman you marry will also be living for this world, and there's nothing in the current American culture to encourage long, successful marriages.

Doesn't matter how pretty you think she is.

This is also true.

We're talking about the kind of man who has a "man cave", who is basically a big kid, playing with his video games (especially online ones), his TV shows, movies, various hobbies (Magic the Gathering, Dungeons & Dragons, cosplay, Anime, My Little Pony, other nerdy pursuits) like a child on Summer vacation.

Yes, there are many men like this today. They didn't do as well in school as their wives, they don't handle the finances, they aren't the "responsible one", and their career (such as it is) is often inferior to the wife's career.

Yep. What's the remedy to the "freed" person? Assuming the roles God intended.

Indeed. However a properly-ordered person should never ever marry a "freed" person believing that said person will convert.

An excessive desire to purchase material things to satisfy happiness sounds like a spiritual problem that is not contingent on being a woman. It's absurd to assert that problem is more prevalent in women- it's an untenable generalization.

When both parents have full-time jobs, that situation deprives them of the time needed to provide their own children with an upbringing that both would agree is proper and appropriate for each individual child's strengths & shortcomings.

The common use of "day care" as a remedy for rearing children on working days, when both their parents' are absent, creates the risk of an inconsistent upbringing, potentially subjecting their children to a revolving door of notoriously poorly paid "day-care providers".

How many of those can provide an upbringing that's compatible with traditional Catholicism, hmmm?

Looking toward the bottom line, day care generates recurring expenses that would not otherwise be incurred on behalf of their children (don't overlook costs to family-owned commuting vehicles: not only fuel, but also replacement parts, e.g., tires, and depreciation). Day care also creates extra challenges in commuting to each parent's work-place, and a recurring loss of time that can't be used for other necessary tasks.

The situation can become unpleasantly problematic if both spouses work for hourly wages instead of professionalish salaries. E.g.: the tourism industry here is especially unforgiving about its time-clocks.
