The herd isnt the problem
Take it apart for relationships and make it about jobs
You are “the one”
Looks matter, but looks is not what gets you laid
You and the herd
The limits on your mind
The stockholm codependent approval seeking syndrome
What are your chances of hitting a homerun?
I tend to believe that just about all natural human tendencies and desires need to be tempered with some form of external influence. My glass half empty opinion of humanity it we have the ability to be honorable and noble, but only a rare few people are born with that drive while most of us focus on what’s in it for us. As restricting as many of the rules from the “good old days” were, they served a purpose in protecting young people from impulsive and sometimes downright dangerous behavior, and those restrictions are all but gone now. The few remaining are hardly enforced, and most young people are encouraged to “discover themselves” in whatever manner they deem appropriate, without having the age or wisdom to have a clue of what appropriate is.
And now I’m sounding like a grouchy old guy yelling at kids to get off my lawn. Again…

You point out interesting changes in the role of women. Their domestic labor is no longer as important since washing machines, dishwashers and frozen lasagna help out a great deal. And the pill has changed their reproductive role towards a more voluntary one, divorcing sex from necessarily getting pregnant.
Yes, many women have grabbed the old male role of working outside the house. But I must point out–and I know you’re aware–that women always worked for most periods of history and contributed greatly to the economy…it just tended to be at home.
