We are now not supposed to judge people as fully-fledged human beings, which is the natural outcome of a hedonistic society in which the only thing that matters is sex.
The way we used to date is that you didn’t take your clothes off until you were married. When that was the case, you had to fully appreciate the person sitting across the table from you as a fully-fledged human being with thoughts, values, and ideas. You only got to sex after marriage. Now, you get to the sex first and everything else is lost by the wayside. Some people are making the argument that marriage is bad because women are initiating most divorces due to no-fault divorce, which means it’s risky for men to get married.
My answer to that is: Not if you marry the right woman. The way you know you’re marrying the right woman is if you date in the right way. This is why it’s very important when you are dating to avoid what has become current: jumping in bed with each other and then seeing how it goes from there. Instead, it should be precisely as it was in terms of actually appreciating the other human being as a potential life partner. Here’s one reason why: Everything is going to droop and bag as you get older anyway, so you should marry somebody who shares your values.
Modern masculinity does have a problem. More men than ever are committing suicide, more men than ever are addicted to opioids, and more men than ever are not going to college. And there’s a lot of depression. The real reason for that is, men have been deprived of their traditional roles or have deprived themselves of their traditional roles. The original roles of a male were to provide for and protect a family, which meant get married, have kids, protect, defend, provide. That’s what men did. And it gave them purpose and meaning.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/the-ben-shapiro-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h4>
Then we built an entire society around the idea that this was actively bad, that there was a serious problem with doing this. And thus society has fallen apart. Feminism argued in order for men to fulfill their traditional roles, women had to be tertiary or secondary or be treated as slaves, etc. But that was an idiotic assumption. Marriage was always good for women.
The New York Times has an entire article titled: <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/09/24/magazine/caitlin-moran-interview.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Modern Masculinity Is Broken. She Knows How to Fix It.</a> It is an interview with an author who is married with a couple of kids. She is a self-described feminist. The New York Times describes her as “one of her generation’s funniest and most fearless feminist voices.” I always love when people use the word “fearless,” because it usually just means they’re repeating nostrums the Left really, really likes. That’s what makes you “fearless.”
She implies men should just ditch masculinity, writing:
<blockquote>I can walk around leafy liberal North London and see boys in dresses with nail polish who are using mixed pronouns and go, “Look at the progress here.” On the other hand, as soon as I go back to my hometown, I am not seeing boys walking around in sarongs and using mixed pronouns. In those places you would be going straight in at the deep end by starting a conversation about masculinity by going, “Maybe gender shouldn’t exist.” </blockquote>
She’s wrong. The real solution for men is to live virtuously. The real solution for women is also to live virtuously.
Why are men so depressed? Because you’ve said that the only way they can be a real man is to not be a man at all.

I have never been a Swifty, and I never will be. Taylor Swift has the maturity of a 15-year-old girl. Despite the fact that she’s about to turn 34 in December (my age), she acts like she is 15. Yet the media continue to applaud her bad behavior. As she ages, she has become more and more vicious. Swift is being used by the Left — and she is going to continue to be used by the Left.
Despite being nearly 34 years old, Taylor Swift is still vicious toward her exes. It doesn’t even matter which one of them it is. She always has some ax to grind. One of the best examples of such an ax is an ex-boyfriend from a very long time ago. In 2008, Joe Jonas (Joe of the Jonas Brothers) broke up with Swift in a 27-second call — and she still has not let it go. Jonas, who is now 31 and a fully grown adult, is now in the middle of a very messy public divorce. His soon-to-be ex and mother of his children is Sophie Turner, who acted in “Game of Thrones.” They are a real couple. They have real children. And in the middle of this divorce, they are feuding over where their children are going to live: in America, where Jonas lives, or in the U.K., where Turner is from. This has gotten nasty in the press.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/why-i-ll-never-be-a-swifty-member-exclusive-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: Candace Owens</a></h4>
Enter, Taylor Swift. Out of nowhere, Swift and Turner become besties overnight amidst Turner’s divorce. From Turner’s perspective, if you want to get back at your soon-to-be ex-husband, you might just reach back out to one of his exes who you know will engage in petty public behavior. From Swift’s perspective, if you want to get back at one of your ex-boyfriends who burned you when you were a teenager, what better way to do it than to hang out with his almost ex-wife who he is separated from and going through a messy divorce. How unbelievably petty.
The two were spotted leaving New York City’s Hotel Barrière Fouquet&#8217;s New York last week, willingly getting photographed. They openly walked out of the restaurant together. After all, Swift isn’t seen unless she wants to be seen. But this is the petty sort of behavior Swift engages in. I do not understand why people don’t say this is wrong.
<div id="attachment_627227" style="width: 522px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-627227" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-627227 size-full" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/09/Swift-Turner-nyc.png" alt="" width="512" height="343" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/09/Swift-Turner-nyc.png 512w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2023/09/Swift-Turner-nyc-300x201.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px" />© ROKA/BACKGRID</div>
This is a marriage. There are children involved. Not to mention this has been over 15 years. She should move on from her bad break-up from Joe Jonas. When your agent calls and asks if you want to hang out with Sophie Turner,  you should say no because she is in the middle of a divorce with one of your exes. The answer should be no because you are a 33-year-old woman and because Turner has children. You should say you understand why Turner is engaging in petty behavior — because her feelings are involved — but since you don’t have those same feelings, you say no because you don’t want to get involved in someone else’s divorce.

When it comes to men and being petty, there seems to be no bottom to Taylor Swift’s behavior. She recently dated Joe Alwyn for six years, and after they broke up, she coordinated with her girlfriends so they would all unfollow him on the same day on Instagram. Why? Because she has the maturity of a 15-year-old. These are middle school antics. To have all your friends en masse unfollow him on social media to prove their loyalty? That is not how a 33-year-old woman should act. Unfollowing someone on the same day to prove a point — “These are my friends, not yours!” — is bratty. That type of behavior should be beneath her. But this is why she has a legion of 15-year-old fans who will go to bat for her. (They will do it in my comments.) But she has never grown up from engaging in 15-year-old behavior. In fact, I might actually even say younger.
This friendship is one developed out of spite. And it’s yet another reason I will never be a Swifty. She is a brat who has an underdeveloped brain because she found fame when she was too young. No one will ever convince me otherwise.

Angelina Jolie opened up about how having children &#8220;saved&#8221; her from being pulled into what she called &#8220;darker&#8221; places amid her very public divorce from actor Brad Pitt and the custody battle that ensued for years afterward.
During the 48-year-old actress&#8217; interview for <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/angelina-jolie-digital-cover-interview-atelier-jolie" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vogue&#8217;s</a> digital cover story, the &#8220;Eternals&#8221; star and mom of six <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/09/27/angelina-jolie-my-kids-and-i-had-a-lot-of-healing-to-do-after-brad-pitt-split/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said focusing</a> on being a parent kept her from going &#8220;under&#8221; personally because she &#8220;wanted to live for them.&#8221; Jolie and the 59-year-old actor share six kids together: Maddox, 22, Pax, 19, Zahara, 18, Shiloh, 17, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 15.
&#8220;I was 26 when I became a mother,&#8221; Jolie said. &#8220;My entire life changed. Having children saved me and taught me to be in this world differently.&#8221;
&#8220;I think, recently, I would&#8217;ve gone under in a much darker way had I not wanted to live for them,&#8221; she added. &#8220;They&#8217;re better than me, because you want your children to be.&#8221;
&#8220;Of course I&#8217;m the mother, and hopefully that safe place for them and that stability,&#8221; the superstar actress continued. &#8220;But I&#8217;m also the one that they laugh at and I see them taking over so many different aspects of our family.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Angelina Jolie started taking less film roles “seven years ago, only taking jobs that didn’t require long shoots.&quot; Why? &quot;We had a lot of healing to do.&quot;

The &#8220;Lara Croft: Tomb Raider&#8221; star also admitted she&#8217;s struggled lately to still understand &#8220;who I am at 48. I guess I&#8217;m in transition as a person.&#8221;
&#8220;I feel a bit down these days. I don&#8217;t feel like I&#8217;ve been myself for a decade, in a way, which I don&#8217;t want to get into,&#8221; she added, noting that &#8220;seven years ago&#8221; she started &#8220;only taking jobs that didn&#8217;t require long shoots.&#8221;
&#8220;We [as a family] had a lot of healing to do,&#8221; the Hollywood star continued. &#8220;We&#8217;re still finding our footing.&#8221;
Pitt and Jolie first met on the set of their film &#8220;Mr. &amp; Mrs. Smith&#8221; while the &#8220;Fight Club&#8221; star was married to Jennifer Aniston. His divorce to the &#8220;Friends&#8221; star went through in 2005. Jolie and Pitt started dating and finally tied the knot in 2014.
In 2016, Jolie filed for divorce from the &#8220;Troy&#8221; star and the two were legally declared single in 2019. Two years later, they were finally granted joint custody of their six kids. However, one month later, the judge&#8217;s decision was thrown out and currently remains unresolved, Page Six noted.

The 48-year-old actor allegedly has agreed to pay the 39-year-old actress a total of $27,500 per month for their two kids, 9-year-old son Otis and 7-year-old daughter Daisy, according to documents obtained by the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-12558385/Jason-Sudeikis-Olivia-Wilde-finally-settle-custody-battle.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Mail</a>.
The court documents allegedly noted that, on top of the monthly child support, the &#8220;Ted Lasso&#8221; star must also cover 25% of the &#8220;Don&#8217;t Worry Darling&#8221; director&#8217;s childcare costs, the outlet noted. Sudeikis&#8217;s annual income, as of 2023, is estimated to be $10.5 million while Wilde&#8217;s is $500,000.

&#8220;The income of each party is in dispute and fluctuates,&#8221; the documents allegedly read, and it said the couple agrees &#8220;such disputes and fluctuations are not material to their agreement that Jason has an extraordinarily high income&#8230;&#8221; and the amount under child support guidelines would exceed the children&#8217;s needs, according to the Daily Mail.
&#8220;The parties agree that child support for the minor children in the amount of $27,500 per month is sufficient to maintain the needs of the minor children considering Jason&#8217;s station in life, &#8230; is consistent with each child&#8217;s best interest, and application of the guideline would be unjust or inappropriate in this case,&#8221; the document continued.

News of the settlement comes more than a year after &#8220;The Change-Up&#8221; star was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/olivia-wilde-slams-ex-jason-sudeikis-for-custody-paper-stunt-says-he-tried-to-sabotage-her" target="_blank" rel="noopener">served custody papers</a> during her presentation on stage at the CinemaCon in Las Vegas in April 2022.
In August that year, a source told <a href="https://people.com/olivia-wilde-jason-sudeikis-settle-custody-battle-child-support-7974329" target="_blank" rel="noopener">People magazine</a> that Wilde &#8220;wants to focus on what&#8217;s best for the kids. She and Jason don&#8217;t speak to each other, so they have help communicating about the custody schedule.&#8221;
The former Hollywood couple first started dating back in 2011 after meeting at a Saturday Night Live party, the outlet noted. In 2012, the two stars got engaged and two years later the pair welcomed son Otis in August.
In 2016, the &#8220;Horrible Bosses&#8221; star and Wilde welcomed daughter Daisy into the world, before news of their split broke in 2020.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hulk-hogan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hulk Hogan</a>’s daughter, Brooke Hogan, explained why she decided not to attend her father’s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/marriage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wedding</a> to yoga instructor Sky Daily.
The small, intimate ceremony took place on Friday in Florida. It was the third time tying the knot for the 70-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/wrestling" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrestling</a> legend. 
&#8220;As many of you know, I value my privacy, but unfortunately, a lot of media outlets are making assumptions as to why I did not attend my father&#8217;s third wedding,&#8221; Brooke, a singer and former reality TV star, shared on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CxoQHk_pHu3/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a>. &#8221; Instead of leaving it to speculation, I decided it&#8217;s better to shut it all down here.&#8221;
&#8220;As we all experience this with our own families, the dynamics of a family unit continuously changes over the years. With that being said, my family has experienced a LOT of change,&#8221; Brooke continued. 
The &#8220;Hogan Knows Best&#8221; star said she’s been working hard to address family drama while under public scrutiny.  &#8220;I&#8217;ve had to learn how to best navigate those changes as they come, which has been difficult, to say the least.&#8221;

&#8220;For my own journey to healing and happiness, I have chosen to create some distance between myself and my family, am focusing on people and things that heal my heart and align with my own personal beliefs, goals, and values,&#8221; Brook went on, concluding by saying, &#8220;I wish him well.&#8221;
Hogan made headlines in 2013 after suing Gawker for publishing a video of him having sex with Heather Clem, who was at the time married to radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge. The jury found Gawker liable and awarded the wrestling icon $115 million in compensatory damages and $25 million in punitive damages. The media company filed for bankruptcy and was put up for sale shortly after.
The 6-time WWE champion shared a few social media updates on his personal life leading up to the wedding. &#8220;Life just keeps on getting better and better! Jumping on another lightning bolt at 70!&#8221; he <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cv2vY_gsBF6/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> in the caption of a video that appeared to show him and Daily at a surprise birthday party. 
&#8220;70 years young and happier than I’ve ever been! Brother!&#8221; he <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cv5NL9rucJV/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> alongside a photo of the couple posing together around his milestone birthday in August. 
Hogan, whose real name is Terry Gene Bollea, married Linda Claridge in 1983 and shares daughter Brooke, 35, and son Nick with her. The couple divorced in 2007. He next married Jennifer McDaniel in early 2008 and divorced for a second time in 2022. The pro wrestler proposed to Daily in July.

I have spent a lot of time in my career defending the institution of marriage. I defend it because it is the bedrock of civilization, so it deserves defending. And I defend it because it is under constant attack, so it needs defending. One of the most troubling developments in recent years — which we’ve discussed on this show in the past — is that these attacks are increasingly waged not just from the Left but from certain noisy segments of the Right as well. Some right-wing influencers — with legions of young, mostly male fans — have decided that men should abandon marriage and family life and go their own way. These influencers — many of whom consider themselves a part of the so-called “red pill” movement — pretend to despise feminists, and yet have essentially arrived at the same conclusion as feminists: give up on the family. The two sides hate marriage almost as much as they hate each other.
One of these influencers is a woman named Pearl Davis who has garnered a relatively large following on YouTube and various social media platforms. She’s in her mid twenties, single, and childless, and yet full of opinions about modern marriage and family life — a subject she has no personal insight into whatsoever. She has spent the past few days on the internet complaining about “tradcons” like myself who, she says, promote the nuclear family despite not understanding what it’s really like. Yes, we men who actually have wives and children don’t know what it’s like to be married, but a woman who is not married and has no children does know what it’s like.
In one of her tweets she wrote: “The trad cons push marriage because they aren’t old enough to know better yet. They don’t know the reality of what they’re pushing.” This is accompanied by a picture of myself, Ben Shapiro, and Michael Knowles. We “aren’t old enough to know better” and “don’t know the reality of what we’re pushing.” Yet a woman who is younger than us, and single, does know better and does understand this reality.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&nbsp;
In other posts she goes on to say that marriage is a “terrible deal for men.” She later explains: “Would you ever sign a contract that fails 75% of the time where your business partner is paid to break the contract? Why would you encourage men to sign that contract until the terms are fixed?”
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

You may be surprised to learn that marriages fail at a rate of 75%. The figure that people like this normally use is 50%. The claim that 50% of marriages end in divorce is already spurious. More on that in a moment. But 75%? I was wondering where that number came from, so I scrolled down and saw something she reposted from an alleged lawyer who said this: “It’s not 50:50 – that only accounts for divorces. Add another 25% on the negative side for miserable men trapped in “cheaper to keep her” marriages unwilling to risk financial destruction and loss of their children. 75% chance of a devastatingly bad outcome is just a bad plan. No sane person would enter into a commercial contract on such terms.” I did ask him where he got this 75% figure and he wouldn’t say. Apparently the magic statistic fairy came and whispered it in his ear. 
For her part, Pearl later tweeted a picture of <a href="https://twitter.com/pearlythingz/status/1706092154131476883" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pierce Brosnan with his wife</a> of 20 years. She questioned whether the marriage “counts as successful” since Brosnan’s wife has put on some weight at the age of 60. Apparently even if they’re happy and have remained married for two decades, they still might fall into that 75% failure rate because they have not both remained in super model condition into their 60s.
This debate on social media brought out the rest of the marriage-skeptical crowd on the Right. A bunch of these &#8220;red pill&#8221; influencers decided to hop on an emergency Zoom call and spend two hours talking about me, and the rest of the Daily Wire crew, and our reckless promotion of society’s most fundamental institution. There’s a divorce lawyer who says that the failure rate for marriage is not 50%, not 75%, but in fact <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/iyFaZohlPic?feature=shared&amp;t=1659" target="_blank" rel="noopener">even higher</a>. A happy marriage, he says, is like <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/iyFaZohlPic?feature=shared&amp;t=1659">winning the lottery</a>. The thing about the lottery, though, is that almost everyone loses. This is a perfect summation of how this entire club views marriage. Sure it can be great, they concede — but only if you’re insanely lucky. Everyone else is screwed. It is a rather bleak view. Thankfully, it’s also nonsense. First of all, the claim that marriage isn’t “scalable” is obviously ludicrous. Marriage has served as the bedrock of human society since time immemorial. It has already happened at the scale of civilization for thousands of years.
What about the failure rate of marriages in our culture? We’ve heard 50%, we’ve heard 75%, and we just heard that they fail at a rate similar to the rate that people lose the lottery. Which would mean higher than 99%. Yet these kinds of astronomical odds are not based in anything but the doom and gloom speculations of the people inventing them. There is no evidence that having a happy marriage is as unlikely as winning the lottery, or that 75% of marriages end in misery. What about the 50% number? This at least is a familiar statistic — familiar, but bogus. One way that you know it’s bogus is that people have been claiming 50% of marriages end in divorce since I was a kid. That would mean divorce rates are static across time, but of course that isn’t the case. In fact, we know that divorce rates have gone down in recent years. So where does the 50% figure come from? Apparently, it’s a holdover from the 1980s, which is when people first started citing that statistic, and it’s not true today. It’s also not clear that it was true in the 80s either.
What is the actual divorce rate? Our best guess is based on U.S. Census data, which, according to the most recent figures, says that about 35% of American adults who have been married, have been divorced. 35% is high — way too high — but it’s not 50%, and it’s not 75%, and it’s not 99%, and it’s not lottery odds. Still, isn’t it terrifying to think that, if you get married, your chance of failure is 35% and the chance of success is only 65%, at the most? Isn’t that high enough that it should dissuade anyone from attempting it? The answer to that question is no. Here’s why.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/230925me3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show</a>
If the divorce rate is 35% — or even if it’s 50% — it does not follow that your own particular marriage has a 35 or 50% chance of failure. I’m not saying that you should be cocky or reckless or see yourself as invincible. I am saying that you shouldn’t, on the other extreme, see yourself as passive debris floating helplessly on the tide of statistical likelihoods. You are an individual, your marriage is an individual thing, and its chances of failure are not set by society at large.
Here’s an example to illustrate what I mean. The obesity rate in the United States is over 40%. Does that mean that your own chances of becoming obese are 40%? No, it does not. Your chances might be 5%, they might be practically zero, or they might be quite a bit higher than 40%. That’s because obesity is the result of behavior and choices. If you do not engage in the behavior or make the choices that lead to obesity, you will not become obese. The fact that 40% of the people around you are fat does not mean that you automatically have a 40% obesity risk.
Let’s take another example: car accidents.ar accidents. Americans get into car accidents at a certain rate. I’m not sure what the rate is, and it doesn’t matter for our purposes. What does matter is that your own individual chance of getting into a car accident is not the same as every other driver on the road. The people who compile statistics will say things like “motorists have an (X)% chance of getting into a collision.” But you are not just a generic motorist. You are an individual. You can never bring your own chance of dying in a fiery car wreck down to zero, but if you are a responsible driver then obviously your chances of getting into an accident are much lower than the chances of someone who is not responsible. All of those stupid drivers who don’t understand the basic rules of the road, and like to tweet and eat while they drive, are inflating the numbers for everyone. They are also making the roads more dangerous for everyone — because of them your chances of getting into a car accident are actually higher. But your chances are not as high as their chances. You do not share their level of risk. Because, again, you are an individual not a mere statistic.
What about marriage? It’s true that even if you do everything right, things can still fall apart if your spouse doesn’t follow that program. That happens. It’s terrible, but it happens. It’s also true that there are many, many things you can do in your marriage to make it much more secure than the average. Obvious things. You can marry someone who shares your same fundamental values. You can state from the outset that you both, in principle, don’t believe in divorce and won’t consider it as a viable option for solving any marital difficulties you may experience down the line. Have a strong and shared faith. Establish from the beginning a habit of honest communication. Make time for each other. Continue to date even — or especially — as your lives get busier and you start having kids and so on. Make a strong effort to be patient with and grateful to each other. Take care of your body and your appearance. You can do all of these things, and more.
I’m not saying that if you do all of this it will bring your divorce chance down to zero. I’m not denying that there are plenty of people out there who did it all, at least on their own end, and yet still ended up divorced. That’s not my point. My point is that the “divorce rate” doesn’t take any of this into account. The people who take none of these basic steps are lumped in with the people who do all of it, and we’re supposed to believe that both groups have an equal chance of marital failure. That is just not true.
I don’t deny that there are real, serious problems with marriage in our society. The so-called “red pill” community, and others, raise totally legitimate and important points on that end. We need drastic reform; abolish no-fault divorce; the entire family court system has to be torn down and rebuilt. The system is stacked against men in many ways that are extremely unfair and have ruined countless lives. So, let&#8217;s absolutely fight for those reforms.
But this systemic problem is not going to be solved today, or tomorrow, or next week. Abolishing no-fault divorce is just the beginning of reforming the system. Lawmakers in a small number of red states have only just started to seriously consider that idea, which is merely step one. We are a long way off from fixing the system. It took decades to get us here, it will take decades to get us out, at best. This is a long-term struggle.
The question is what are young men — young people in general — supposed to do in the meantime? This is where the “red pill” becomes more of a hazy, foggy, ambiguous pill. They have no answer. They simply shout about “reforms” that are needed, yet have nothing to say to the young men in our culture today who will be old, if not dead, by the time the system is fixed, if it’s ever fixed at all. What are these young men supposed to do right now? What kind of life would you have them lead right now?
The answer, it appears, is that an entire generation of young men — if not multiple generations — should skip marriage while we wait for the system to improve. But this is not a viable solution. It’s not a solution at all, it&#8217;s a surrender. You are asking entire generations to give up their bloodline, their legacy, their chance of finding the transcendent joy and meaning that family life can provide. You are asking them to give up on themselves, and on civilization itself. For thousands of years human beings have always understood that their most basic purpose and obligation was to form families and have children — and yet you are telling these young men to ignore this calling. And do what instead? Live for themselves, alone, wasting away in front of screens, only to die with no descendants, leaving no lasting mark on the world? Think about the kind of misery you are consigning these men to. Think about the catastrophic, probably fatal effect this would have on our country. You can’t give up on propagating the species for a few decades and then pick it back up again like nothing happened. That doesn’t work on any level — individually or societally. It is a recipe for despair and collapse.

Am I saying that young men should accept the risk, then, and get married anyway? Yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying. That doesn’t mean you should be reckless — I’ve already talked about the many practical things you can do to mitigate your own risk so that it is not a roll of the dice. You should do all of those things. Don’t go into marriage blind — but don’t run from it either. Even if you mitigate the risk to the extent possible, still there will be a risk. That’s true.
But here’s the rub: all good things come with risk. The more worthwhile it is, the worse and more disastrous it will be if you fail. If you take on more responsibility, then your life will be more consequential, and the more consequential your life is, the more cataclysmic your failures potentially become. A married man with children lives a life of greater consequence than a single man with no children. There are more people depending on him. He has a greater stake in the future. This means that if things go sideways, it will be a tragedy. If he screws up, or his wife screws up, or they both do, his life will be ruined, his children will be devastated, and the impact will reverberate down through the generations. This is what it means to live a high-impact, consequential life. These are the stakes, and yes they are quite high.
Sure, you can stave off that sort of catastrophe by staying by yourself, never going out on a limb, never taking any risks, never marrying, never having kids, never striving for anything great or meaningful. But then you are not avoiding failure and misery, you are guaranteeing it. You are ensuring that you never lose your family in a divorce by never having a family to lose in the first place, which is like ensuring that you never go bankrupt by being bankrupt to begin with. Not losing by having nothing to lose is a loss in itself. I don’t want that for anyone. It’s not a path to happiness and prosperity — for either you or society. It is a path to defeat — a preemptive and self-imposed defeat. And that is the worst kind of all.

Actress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sophie Turner</a> is suing her estranged husband, Joe Jonas, for removing their children from England amid their <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/divorce" target="_blank" rel="noopener">divorce</a> proceedings.
The “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/game-of-thrones" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Game of Thrones</a>” alum filed a lawsuit in a Manhattan court on Thursday, per <a href="https://people.com/sophie-turner-sues-joe-jonas-demands-kids-be-returned-to-england-amid-split-7972708" target="_blank" rel="noopener">People magazine,</a> demanding that the former couple’s two children, Willa and a 14-month-old identified as D, be returned to England.
The document asks for &#8220;the immediate return of children wrongfully removed or wrongfully retained&#8221; for what is being called &#8220;wrongful retention,&#8221; which began September 20. The outlet noted how Turner referred to England as their “forever home” in late 2022. 
Jonas and Turner purchased a home there in April 2023 in anticipation of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment" target="_blank" rel="noopener">actress</a> working on the miniseries “Joan,” which was filmed over this summer.
Court docs state that they agreed that the children would go on tour with Jonas since he would have more daytime hours available to spend with them, but Turner said she had “hesitation” about that “temporary arrangement.” 
Turner also alleged that their divorce came about “very suddenly” after an argument. She claims to have found out Jonas filed for the dissolution of their marriage &#8220;from the media.&#8221;
“The Father has possession of the children’s passports. He refuses to return the passports to the Mother and refuses to send the children home to England with the Mother,&#8221; the documents say. Jonas’ attorney confirmed to Turner’s team that he had the passports and would not surrender them, nor would he agree for the children to move to England.

Jonas and Turner were married in 2019. On September 6, they issued a joint statement regarding their split.
“Statement from the two of us: ‘After four wonderful years of marriage we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage,’” it said, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/sophie-turner-and-joe-jonas-post-statement-on-divorce-news-a-united-decision" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. 
“There are many speculative narratives as to why, but truly this is a united decision and we sincerely hope that everyone can respect our wishes for privacy for us and our children,&#8217;” the post concluded.
An unnamed source told People at the time that Jonas and Turner had been having marital issues for months and spent “the whole summer” living “apart.”
The source added that they “haven’t gotten along in a while, but they’re hoping to resolve this all amicably.”

Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/she-aint-worth-it-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-intervenes-in-verbal-confrontation-between-marjorie-taylor-greene-and-jamaal-bowman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez&#8217;s</a> (D-NY) office says that she has never been married — but according to a new report from The Washington Free Beacon, she has identified her fiancé as her &#8220;spouse&#8221; on several forms filed with the House Ethics Committee.
The <a href="https://freebeacon.com/democrats/aoc-cites-longtime-partner-as-spouse-but-keeps-his-finances-under-wraps-a-potential-breach-of-ethics-rules/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a>, written by investigative journalist Andrew Kerr, detailed <a href="https://disclosures-clerk.house.gov/gtimages/MT/2023/500025932.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">forms</a> pertaining to the congresswoman&#8217;s official travel in 2022 and 2023 that were submitted to the committee — in which Riley Roberts, Ocasio-Cortez&#8217;s fiancé, was listed as her &#8220;spouse.&#8221; Also submitted were the New York Rep&#8217;s financial disclosure statements — on which Roberts was also referred to as her &#8220;spouse,&#8221; but his finances were not disclosed.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
If AOC is indeed married, her spouse&#39;s finances are now subject to public disclosure.
But she did not disclose any of Roberts’s reportable stock holdings, assets, or income on her latest financial disclosure, though she did make two references to her &quot;spouse&quot; in the filing. <a href="https://t.co/USREG8xvdI">pic.twitter.com/USREG8xvdI</a>
&mdash; Andrew Kerr (@AndrewKerrNC) <a href="https://twitter.com/AndrewKerrNC/status/1701933017726370207?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 13, 2023</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The issue, Kerr explained, is fairly simple: if the pair are not married, then Roberts cannot be named her &#8220;spouse&#8221; on official travel forms. And if they are, Roberts must disclose his finances according to House rules.
The congresswoman&#8217;s office told the Free Beacon that Ocasio-Cortez and Roberts have never been legally married. However, spokeswoman Lauren Hitt appeared to brush the criticism aside – claiming that &#8220;House Ethics has commonly recognized the term spouse to extend to long-term partners.&#8221;
According to the report, that is not true — the House Ethics Committee <a href="https://ethics.house.gov/sites/ethics.house.gov/files/documents/Dec%202022%20House%20Ethics%20Manual%20website%20version.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defines marriage</a> specifically as &#8220;someone to whom you are legally married.&#8221;
According the the Free Beacon&#8217;s report, Hitt could have been referring to the Office of Congressional Ethics, which considers a long-term romantic partner to be &#8220;synonymous with a spouse&#8221; — but her actions would be governed by the committee.

But the question was still raised in the report: if Roberts was Ocasio-Cortez&#8217;s &#8220;spouse&#8221; for the purpose of overseas travel, why would he not also be her &#8220;spouse&#8221; for the purposes of financial disclosures?
With regard to their finances, as long as Ocasio-Cortez and Roberts remain unmarried, the boyfriend loophole exempts Roberts from financial disclosure requirements.
&#8220;If they were married then she would be required to disclose his finances on her 2022 financial disclosure,&#8221; Kendra Arnold, executive director of the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, told the Free Beacon. &#8220;There is no exception to this rule.&#8221;

Politics

Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) said in an interview over the weekend that he is in a relationship with a woman which come as questions have swirled over why he is not married.
The Republican presidential candidate made the remarks during an interview with Brian Kilmeade where Kilmeade pressed Scott on the matter in light of a report from Axios about concerns from major GOP donors over the matter.
The report noted that an unmarried presidential candidate has not been elected to the nation&#8217;s highest office in 139 years.
&#8220;Well, obviously, at this point I&#8217;m taken, I have a wonderful girlfriend, and we have a wonderful relationship,&#8221; Scott said. &#8220;The good news is, God has blessed me with a smart Christian woman. That&#8217;s great news.&#8221;
Scott said that his unmarried status was garnering attention because opponents view him as a political threat as he &#8220;rise[s] in the polls.&#8221; National polling has largely showed Scott&#8217;s campaign stagnating in the 2%-4% range for months.
&#8220;The headlines are there because as I rise in the polls, as people show up at my my town halls, it scares even my opponents,&#8221; Scott claimed. &#8220;Everybody wants to find a way to win this race. I&#8217;m going to focus on having that optimistic positive message deliver the backbone and staying focused on the American people who say they like me a lot, and I want to make sure they have a chance to make me their president.&#8221;
Scott said that at some point the media will meet his girlfriend.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/candace-owens">Candace Owens</a> joined the popular “<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TmejMmwPhw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Whatever</a>” podcast Thursday night and weighed in on a viral TikTok video of a single woman who bragged about being childless.
In the TikTok video, the woman talked about sleeping in on a Saturday morning before taking time to make shakshuka, a North African dish that includes eggs and tomato sauce, and explained how her lifestyle was all thanks to not having children. The video went viral online after Daily Wire podcast host Matt Walsh shared it on X, formerly Twitter.
While one of the panelists on the podcast defended the woman, saying she seemed sad about being single, Owens disagreed and said she was intentionally making motherhood look less appealing and it was all on “brand” for her.
The influencer, whose name is Julia Mazur, frequently posts videos on TikTok about her life as a single and childless 29-year-old woman.
“She’s obviously a narcissist,” Owens said in reply. “Let’s not pretend this is one video she made. It’s her brand on TikTok. It’s her brand on social media.”
Owens added that Mazur could have talked about what she did during her day without mentioning that she is childless. Owens said Mazur&#8217;s inclusion of that detail proved she was pushing a certain lifestyle choice. 
“The fact that she has to correlate it to, &#8216;and this makes me better than people that have children&#8217; is the problem,” Owens added. “&#8230; If you’re a man watching this, don’t marry this woman. She’s basically telling you she’s selfish. She’s telling you she’s a narcissist. Everything she says is about me, me, me… Even if you’re single, you don’t have to make your whole day revolve around you.”

“That particular woman that you just looked at is a selfish b**** and men should not marry her,” Owens concluded. 
At another point in the conversation, the topic turned to OnlyFans and sex work, which several of the panelists participate in. When Owens was asked her thoughts on those women’s futures, she replied that it’s true that women could make a lot of money doing sex work but it wasn’t to their long-term advantage. 
“The truth is that high-value men don’t want to date women that are sex workers… or women that are freely available on the internet for other men to see,” Owens said. She added that when everyone has access to a woman, nothing is “sacred,” giving examples of resurfaced videos of Nina Agdal saying vulgar things and Emily Ratajkowski being cheated on.
“Other men don’t want to share; they don’t want to share their wife,” Owens added.
On the same podcast appearance, Owens discussed her newly released documentary, “Convicting a Murderer,” which explored more details about the Steven Avery murder case. Owens said she set out to shatter a “deceptive media narrative” because “people believe that everything they watch is real.”
The first two episodes of “Convicting a Murderer” are exclusively available on <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/convicting-a-murderer">DailyWire+</a>.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/miley-cyrus" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Miley Cyrus</a> opened up about the moment she knew that her marriage to long-time partner actor Liam Hemsworth was over, and she said it came only months after the couple tied the knot in December 2018.

&#8220;Glastonbury was in June, which was when the decision happened that me and Liam&#8217;s commitment to being married just really came from, of course, a place of love first — because we&#8217;d been together for 10 years — but also from a place of trauma and just trying to rebuild as quickly as [we] could.&#8221;

They got engaged in 2012 and finally decided to tie the knot and make their relationship official in an intimate ceremony with only a small group of close friends and family members in December 2018 following their ten-year off-and-on relationship after first meeting on the set of their film in 2009 &#8220;The Last Song.&#8221;

“So, it seems that a lot of young ladies are getting divorced before they turn 30,” Ratajkowski said in the <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@emrata/video/7275780895607491882">video</a>. “As someone who got married at 26 [who] has been separated for a little over a year [at] 32, I have to tell you, I don’t think there’s anything better.&#8221;
&#8220;Being in your 20s is the trenches,&#8221; the “Gone Girl” actress went on. 
“There is nothing better than being in your 30s, still being hot, maybe having a little bit of your own money, figuring out what you want to do with your life [and] everything, and having tried that married fantasy and realizing that it’s maybe not all it’s cracked up to be,” she went on. “And then you’ve got your whole life still ahead of you.”
Ratajkowski said no one should be “feeling stressed” about “being divorced.&#8221;
&#8220;It’s good,” she insisted. “Congratulations.”

The model wrote in the video caption, &#8220;Personally I find it chic to be divorced by the age of 30.”
While many Instagram users agreed with her take, there was some pushback. 
“Emily Ratajkowski (who has a personal net worth of at least 8 million dollars) is glamorizing divorce and says marriage is a ‘fantasy’&#8230;Completely out of touch and delusional,” podcast host Josh Lekach wrote on X. “Sadly, women look up to her.”
Ratajkowski previously discussed her feelings on her divorce. 
“I feel all the emotions,” she <a href="https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/features/a41616069/emily-ratajkowski-podcast-interview-november-2022/">told</a> Harper&#8217;s Bazaar in November 2022. “I feel anger, sadness. I feel excitement. I feel joy. I feel levity. Every day is different. The only good thing I know is that I’m feeling all those things, which is nice because it makes me believe that I’ll be okay.”
While speaking to the publication, Ratajkowski said her mother divorced in her early 30s before she met the model’s father. 
“She always romanticized that time in her life,” the “Entourage” actress explained. “So I’ve expected this decade to be the best decade, even if I didn’t see it going this way.”
