    Men generally grow from relationships, women do not. Women do not grow from relationships due to their cognitive wiring, and their innate narcissism, solipsism, and selfishness.

    Kohlberg’s stages of moral development:

    https://surviveandthriveboston.com/index.php/the-moral-development-of-women-amid-the-ongoing-abortion-debate/

    “In Carol Gilligan’s famous paper in the 1977 Harvard Education Review titled In a Different Voice: Women’s Conceptions of Self and of Morality, she writes, “Kohlberg’s stages begin with an obedience and punishment orientation sequence (Stage One), and go from there in invariant order to instrumental hedonism (Stage Two), interpersonal concordance (Stage Three), law and order (Stage Four), social contract (Stage Five), and universal ethical principles (Stage Six),” (Gilligan 489).”

    “The crux of Gilligan’s thesis in her paper was that Kohlberg had concluded, based on his research and scoring system, that women became stuck at interpersonal concordance in Stage Three and did not progress passed that stage to attain the same understanding of abstract ethical principles, such as the sense of “justice” men obtain, say, as they head off to war.

    “In 1969, Kohlberg and Kramer identified Stage Three as the characteristic mode of women’s moral judgements claiming that, since women’s lives were inter-personally based, this stage was not only functional for them but also adequate for resolving the moral conflicts that they faced. Turiel (1973) reported that while girls reached Stage Three sooner than did boys, their judgements tended to remain at that stage while the boys’ development continued further along Kohlberg’s scale,” (Gilligan 489).

    The reason Kohlberg and his contemporaries claimed women progressed to Stage Three quickly and then remained there was because the qualities that make a “good woman,” “tact, gentleness, awareness of the feelings of others, strong need for security, and easy expression of tender feelings” were moral attributes of interpersonal concordance, or the kind of outside reassurance teenagers seek from forming social cliques as they come of age.  So the “care” and “concern” expressed by a morally “good” woman was, for a man, a juvenile sense of moral development. Thus, it can be concluded that based on Kohlberg’s theory, women never achieve the independent thought of an adult."

    If Kohlberg is correct about women’s moral and cognitive development, which he is, the claim could be made that they don’t grow from relationships.

    In case any of you are deluded into believing women love men, the following video experiment should put that delusion to rest. In it, a man holds out a rose to various women walking by, NONE of them take the rose. He then holds out dollar bills to women walking by. EVERY SINGLE WOMAN walking by takes the money. This experiment tells you a lot about the mindset of women and what they REALLY value. Here is the link:

    Whatever the things are that being single can’t teach you that are outlined in this podcast, ultimately they don’t matter.

    To men I say this: don’t get married and stay free. Marriage is prison and misery for men, and divorce destroys him financially when the woman robs him in divorce court.
