Thats the hilarity of it all. Atheists and so called enlightened people destroyed the Christian church promising an age of rationalism and what we got instead is a secular religion that is even more hardened then Christianity.
It should be added the Church of Rome had done
a lot to destroy itself - from good old simony and corruption, to modern issues like coverups of paedophillia of priests.
Jokes like:
"How do you call a dating app for priests? Kinder."
"How do you call a priest moved between parishes? Sex tourism."
Didn't appear out of the blue.
Homosexuality becoming socially acceptable also removed a large incentive for young gays to join.
What we are experiencing is essentially the female psyche writ large, we are living in a female frame. Society used to be ordered on a male frame, which values things such as justice, fairness (of opportunity), tribalism, and a general trend of liberty over security.
Women are basically wired to be in a constant state of semi-panic when it comes to their security. This is normal; the vast majority of human evolution occurred during a time when a woman's entire reality could be erased by a conquering tribe in a matter of hours. They have a pathological need for security for themselves and their child. Feminized men share the same mindset, they are firmly in the female frame. You occasionally get some women who subscribe to the male frame, but they are increasingly rare nowadays.
Women basically want a 100% guarantee that there is a safety net for them and their children. They need looking after financially. It in written in their genetic make-up. When you extrapolate this onto society, you get the current clown world we live in today. There is no hierarchy, everyone is equal and a de facto sisterhood of care is applied to all manner of degenerate and unorthodox groups. Emotions trump reason. Rape is the highest crime of all. And men need to be endlessly and completely subdued; they cannot risk giving men power over them and their children ever again. It's primal fear.
Daddy government is more reliable than men. I don't need to perform for daddy government; no matter how ugly, fat, or unappealing I am, daddy government will give me and my children money and feminized society won't judge me for my poor choices. This is evidence that for society to function, it needs to be founded on a male frame. We need to build a patriarchy from the ashes. There can be no female emancipation and "women's lib" without what we are seeing today play out.
I supposed this is an aspect of both evolutionary psychology and how reproductive strategies are shaped by physiology.
Men can successfully reproduce by doing the deed and moving on. In fact, from an evolutionary perspective, moving on to impregnate more and more separate females means you win big in the game of natural selection; the more genetically unrelated and diverse offspring you produce, the more widely your genes are present in subsequent generations, the more successful you are.
And men can reproduce in parallel with multiple females independently of each other, while for females the exact opposite is the case, as they can't carry several pregnancies at the same time, and can carry only so many pregnancies during their reproductive years. A man can have thousands of children, a woman can not.
Women however can only successfully reproduce by having a steady and reliable caretaker / provider, both during the pregnancy and at least during the early (several) years of offspring's life, at least until the child is grown enough to be (semi-)independent. A pregnant woman is not going to chase a mammoth down, nor can she leave the newborn child to go hunt or gather.
This reality of reproductive necessity creates a strong incentive, if not imperative, to secure a provider by any means necessary. In modern society, said society at large has been roped into this, and yes, a society
is more convenient as the female needs to take care of male for him to want to stay with her instead of leaving if the relationship proves more trouble then it's worth. Social support is just one way street however, nanny state won't pack it's things and leave without even paying alimony.
The side effect of this however is, as is always the case, gaming the system by females who don't need to work (I mean both work for a living and work to make a relationship with a man work out) and support themselves at expense of the society.
