I know it’s because they’re morons, but it always amazes me how incels/mras/reactionary types always go on about how modernity and feminism has made evil, bitch modern women uniquely greedy and gold digging. If you honestly think the wimminfolk are focused on money now, how can you think that it would be better for non-rich guys back in the days when a woman and her family would have to seriously weigh whether or not a prospective husband would be able to support her and the children, because in most cases her own earning ability would be slim to nil. And yes, remember, this is back in the Good ol Days, when families had way more say in whether a suitor is accepted or not. It’s not like they’d do all the work of “guarding their girls’, virtue” to just plop her off with a broke social burnout; they would search for someone who’s be advantageous to the family (including financially), and they’d absolutely expect their daughter to do the same
‘i hate how women are just after your money these days because of feminism! we should go back to the days before feminism where they would die if they weren’t’
I’m not quite sure this is exactly how their logic works though. it seems to me it’s more like they hate the choice that women have now
in their minds, in the old days, a lot of women would still have to marry poor men. not all families had the standing or freedom to be choosy. and incel types seem to think there is a natural order of things: ugly women should marry ugly men, poor women should marry poor men etc. (plus the obvious Nazi opinions about race) and women having too much choice now (eg makeup allows ugly women to trick hot men, women making their own money lets them be independent) throws that out of the balance.
they seem to usually think women are naturally/biologically greedy anyway because of evopsych bullshit, so they don’t tend to think modern women are necessarily worse in that regard. instead, they think that women having more choices now has pushed their natural greediness into overdrive, so now even poor/ugly women have the nerve to think that they deserve guys ‘out of their league’ – which in their opinion is the reason they have nothing.
incels already see themselves as the poor pitiful dregs of society, they definitely do want to return to the days when ‘women would die if they weren’t after money’ bc they think a) being a shallow resource/gene seeker is biologically how women default are anyway and b) it would balance out and the women at the very bottom of society like them would be forced to settle with them or die
of course this isn’t how any of that works or has ever worked. they have extremely stupid ideas about what ‘bottom of society’ even means for starters. but that’s how they reconcile the logic mismatch u describe
