And how would traditional gender roles solve the lonely death problem?

Probably depends on how “traditional” they’re talking about. Treating women as property whose marriages are arranged by their parents would probably help some otherwise lonely men. If it weren’t for the pesky progressive left to oppose that.

The number of women asking me to arrange a marriage for them is non trivial. There is a reason it was done that way and it had nothing to do with women being property.

The midwits think they will get a state appointed waifu.

And that said state appointed waifu wouldn't poison them. All forcing me and my peers to be someone's wife would do is cause a drastic increase in 'accidental' deaths involving mixed household cleaners or improperly prepared food. Teehee, don't blame us, after all, you said yourselves we're too stupid to be trusted!

You'd have to go full Taliban/Gilead and cut off education/take the decades to brainwash the girls. It'd take a few generations before (most of) the women would comply, so none of the men arguing for it now would even benefit.

Which is why I'm convinced it's all an edgy LARP - the right wing version of 18 and 19 year old undergraduate anti-capitalists who can't tell you what capitalism actually IS. (I'm anti-capitalist myself but they make my side look bad...)
