Ethan's Top Five Stupidest
Things He Had To Read While Researching His Book:
1. "Try to navigate
the shoals of modern romance, and you'll only Titanic yourself with
too much thinking." --Nate Penn, The Code
2. Absent "the sudden
desire on the part of Western women to begin having the same-sized families
as their grandmothers, the future belongs to the Third World. Only the
mass reconversion of Western women to an idea that they seem to have
given up--that the good life lies in bearing and raising children and
sending them out into the world to continue the family and nation--can
prevent the Death of the West." --Patrick Buchanan, The Death of
the West
3. "Getting married
is a little like inheriting the family business. Now it's up to you
to figure out what to sell, how to sell it, and how much to charge."
--Foundations: The Newsletter for Newly Married Couples
4. "Bonding social
capital constitutes a kind of sociological superglue, whereas bridging
social capital provides a sociological WD-40." --Robert Putnam, Bowling
Alone
5. "It is woman's refusal
of sexual importunings, coupled with hints or promises of later gratification,
that is generally a necessary condition of transforming a man's lust
into love . . . . Why would a man court a woman for marriage when she
may be sexually enjoyed and regularly, without it?" --Leon Kass, The
End of Courtship
