As a conservative, I have witnessed the left’s relentless attack on traditional relationships while simultaneously promoting dysfunctional alternatives. One glaring contradiction is their hostility toward age-gap marriages—where successful men marry younger women—while they celebrate casual hookups, polyamory, and gender nonconformity. This reveals the left’s true motives: they do not care about the well-being of women but instead seek to destabilize the nuclear family and erode the foundation of Western civilization.
The Attack on Age-Gap Marriages
Modern progressives shame men who seek commitment and marriage with younger women, branding them as predators or misogynists. However, history shows that age-gap marriages have been common across cultures, often leading to stable families and high fertility rates. Instead of acknowledging this reality, the left promotes a culture that discourages commitment and prioritizes individualism over family.
By discouraging successful men from marrying younger women, leftists push women toward careerism and delayed motherhood. This feminist propaganda convinces young women to prioritize their careers over starting families, often resulting in loneliness, failed relationships, and declining birth rates.
Feminist Lies and the Career Trap
Feminist ideology tells women that career success is more fulfilling than being a wife and mother. Yet, when these women reach their 30s and realize they want marriage and children, they often struggle to find a high-value partner. Meanwhile, men in their prime earning years may choose younger women, leaving many older career-focused women disillusioned and alone. Instead of addressing these consequences, the left doubles down on their rhetoric, gaslighting women into believing that their dissatisfaction stems from patriarchy rather than from the choices they were encouraged to make.
The Left’s Hypocrisy: Promoting Dysfunctional Relationships
While demonizing traditional marriages, the left actively promotes dysfunctional relationships. Hookup culture, driven by apps like Tinder, has replaced courtship and commitment with meaningless encounters that leave both men and women unfulfilled. Polyamory, once seen as fringe, is now celebrated as progressive, despite its well-documented instability and harmful effects on children raised in such environments.
Gender ideology further destabilizes relationships by encouraging people to reject biological reality. The left pushes the idea that gender is fluid, creating confusion and chaos in personal relationships. Instead of fostering stable, long-term commitments, these ideologies promote instability, self-centeredness, and a rejection of family values.
The Conservative Alternative: Marriage, Commitment, and Stability
The solution to this crisis is a return to traditional values. Marriage between a strong, successful man and a young, fertile woman provides the best foundation for raising children and maintaining a stable society. Conservative principles emphasize the importance of commitment, duty, and family over fleeting pleasure and individualism.
It is time for men and women to reject the left’s lies and embrace the truth: strong families, built on traditional marriages, are the key to a prosperous and fulfilling life.
