I am stealing that last meme! There's a component of sacrifice to intimacy and true love that neither men or women seem to have much anymore. They seem to drift from one meaningless entanglement to the next. I think part of this is because for the man marriage is the sacrifice: he has now pledged his resources and hopefully his sexual fidelity to one female from here on out. For the woman meanwhile childbirth is the sacrifice: she's risking her life, her body, and her means of attracting future mates in having and raising children, who hopefully her husband is the father of. Both sides have become completely unmoored and disconnected from this historical basis of union. When something is free, of course, you are the product...

I thought this YouTube video entitled Women Can't Win No Matter What explained the dilemma:
