1. It finally strikes me that it’s pointless to have children or to get married. All the women in my social class earn more than me, or have been so hopelessly damaged by abortion & multiple relationships (usually both) that it’s a useless enterprise.

Have faith. There are a few aspiring traditional mothers out there who aren't stupid.

If you think a single girl in Britain has made it to 30 as a virgin then you are slightly deluded. “Traditional” is a misnomer. It has been in collapse for about 500 years. It always depended on external sanctions, which were largely shot away by 1850, nevermind 2018.

Then don't marry a 30 year old whose ova are mostly degraded if they've not been used up already. Marry a younger woman, from a family that's taught her that she needs to marry earlier if she wants to maximise her chances of a decent family life. (1/2)

1. British women become sexually active at 14 (low class). Middle classes at 16-17. The idea that a family “instructs” a girl is alien to British modernity, and doesn’t happen outside bizarre religious sects. Young women have 0 interest or incentive to marry an older man.

2. They have their pick of attractive younger men in their sexual prime, and they’re also expected to be educated and to have completed that before (+career) marrying. That puts the age range of marriage up to, at earliest, 27.

I am interested in the aetiology and genesis of this pattern of behaviour (which is indeed empirically attested), specifically in the British context. What kind of pressures cause and sustain such behaviour? Do you have any literature (by you or others) on that?

I think any book on the sociology of sex in Britain published recently would cover it. It’s the pattern for the entire Western (&. Westernised world) pretty much. Cause? Education of women, collapse of the family/religion, birth control, feminism, women entering workforce.

I’ll look into it, though I am weary of academic sociology because of its progressive bent. Those are the material factors, yes; but where does the pressure to become promiscuous come for these girls? Their mothers? Their peers? The media? All of the above? (Most likely)

I personally know about a dozen British girls of my age who are just so depressed by this entire lifestyle and yet can’t stop themselves from it. From the initial reluctant acquiescence in their late teens to dependence and despair fewer than 10 y later. Quite scary to observe!

Women say they don’t like it to sympathetic men who they’re not sleeping with. However, it works in their favour since it gives them access to high status men in their prime years. Mixed picture. If they really didn’t like it they could ge married. But, yes, it damages them.
