Growing trend of hating men backfires as anti-marriage culture leaves single women losing out
A Fox News opinion piece argues that growing online hostility towards men, sometimes summarised as "hating men," is contributing to declining marriage rates in ways that ultimately disadvantage single women. The columnist contends that anti-marriage rhetoric, often amplified on social media, discourages young women from pursuing traditional partnerships, leaving many without the financial and social stability that marriage can provide.
The piece draws on two contrasting viral stories about womanhood: model Emily Ratajkowski's candid comments on birth, divorce and single motherhood, and the continued public fascination with Hannah Neeleman, known as Ballerina Farm, a mother who has embraced a traditional homemaking lifestyle. The article uses these cases to illustrate what it frames as a wider cultural divide over marriage and family, suggesting that rejecting marriage as a goal may carry unintended costs for women's long-term wellbeing.
