Keep in mind that it takes two to tango, if women were not out there on the hunt, the married men would have no one to cheat with. Just a thought.
I actually have a theory about this. Trad men love to rant and rail against the "modern woman." But what is, exactly, this thing called "modern woman?" Essentially, she's a whore. Essentially she's sɛҳuąƖly promiscuous. Her promiscuity leads to independence from men, financially and otherwise, because no one wants to marry her. This independence makes her smart, clever, and savvy.
Now this kind of woman has always been around. There's nothing modern about her.
I think what trad men refer to as "modern woman" would be better qualified under the title, "problem of modernity."
Back in the day, Catholic men were perfectly happy to live in a society where there were enough whores to go around to satisfy their lusts, and plenty of virgins around to marry.
The problem modernity presents is that there are almost no virgins left. Almost all women are whores. This is an acute and painful problem for trad guys. Hence the reactionism against women. The problem with modernity is mathematical. The ratio of virgin to whore is all wrong.
But that also is God's punishment for Catholic philandering, no?
