i didnt say all men, i said a lot.
men have an idealised idea of family, this is engrained in them from hundreds of years ago, and however much the original feminism has changed a womans life, it hasnt changed how men act, because thats the way the modern feminists get the power and the ability to demonise men.
i know i am romantic, i had an idealised idea of my life, luckily rowan fitted it perfectly. theres the romance thats sold, in chick flicks, (where if you notice men are there as either eye candy, or she will change him for the better) and then theres the expectation that is put upon men by society.
the expectations are different in each country and each state. but they all hold a similar thread. man must provide. whether its child care, or going out to work and she stays home. the expectation is there. and if a man dares to break that cycle, well he is called a dead beat, or lazy.
(now i am saying this as a man, and as what i see every day. this is from my viewpoint as a male.) and when men decide not to marry not to get involved with western women, the men are called wimps, or losers, or closet gays, just because they dont follow the party line.
in the industrial revolution, everyone worked in appaling conditions, men and woman and children, then came the corn laws, where it became illegal to make women and children work more than x amount of hours, notice they never said a thing about the men. it was expected of the men to work, 18 hours a day. and so it has continued. any father or man is expected to work, until death. thats societies role for men.
now that some men are rebelling, saying its not fair. we are being treated as little more than slaves.
men havent had chance but its slowly growing now the mens movements, men are saying you wanted equality you got it, but now you are more equal than me, where is this golden age you said would happen. but men are still programmed by the very organisations that wanted equality for men, to be a wage slave.
(whats her's is her's and whats mine is hers as well). the burden of proof has become one sided. so yes men are romantic, as they have an ideal life planned, but reality frequently screws men. and they have that goal to aim for, but the goal posts keep changing. so by the time men get there they dont want him and it begins again. Most men know this.
as i said not all but a lot have this romantic idea in their minds. some are stupid. but who is really to blame for the disenfranchisement of men, men, or the people who only look upon them as walking wallets and sperm donors.

Voltaire said: "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."
H.L.Mencken wrote:"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.â€
