Steph Curry is an NBA player who has earned over a billion dollars in salary. Unfortunately, he made a terrible choice of wife. His wife, Ayesha Curry, recently went on the far-left feminist “Call Her Daddy” podcast, and essentially complained about the life that he provides for her. I just thought it was the most interesting thing to see how modern young women think of men who provide.

Her bio is here, it seems like she has no earned degrees or private sectory work experience beyond being an entertainer. And I’m pretty sure that any success she has at that is going to be due to her husband’s fame!

Here’s the video:

So, I think Ayesha’s interview shows a major reason why marriage to a modern young woman is a terrible deal for a successful Christian man. Why? Because everything that Christian men do that is awesome and difficult seems to be seen as an entitlement by modern young women. It doesn’t get you any consideration as a man that you are good at these things especially when women are getting helped along in school and at work to earn the same as a man, sometimes with much less effort. Whereas the previous generation would give a man respect and gratitude for slogging through STEM degrees, waking up early, saving money, remaining chaste and sober, etc., modern young women tend to dismiss it all. In addition, modern women are overwhelmingly leftist, and see a man’s moral and spiritual leadership as liabilities. So those skills actually count against a man.

And I know why, too. I once was dating a woman who had an unused degree in business administration. She graduated in 5 years, but she never ever used the degree for business administration. In fact, she turned down jobs that I found her in FT100 companies that were for business administration. She just wanted to do easy jobs, have huge gaps in her resume, and have fun. But the interesting part is that when I showed her the preparations that I had made to be a good provider – graduate degree, 6-figure portfolio, provisional patent, publications, etc. – she was dismissive and disrespectful. And I’ll never forget what she said about my investment portfolio. She said “I hope that you’ll consider my advice when you’re buying and selling securities, because I learned a lot about that in school”. She was 20K in debt and had been carrying that debt unpaid for 7 years after graduation. Never bought a stock or an option or a mutual fund in her life. Her money was being spent on fun, thrills and travel! That’s what this Ayesha interview reminded me of.

So, I think it’s just something for young men to think about. When you are deciding whether to date and get married, you have to think about whether the hard things that you have done are going to get you any respect and gratitude. Especially if you have some sort of plan for your family! Over the course of dating during my 20s and 30s, I had a non-stop line of Christian women with student loan debt and low-earning easy jobs telling me how they didn’t know how to cook, didn’t want to clean, didn’t want to homeschool the kids, didn’t want to have more than 2 kids, didn’t want to do campus ministry, didn’t want to learn science or economics, and so on. They just felt entitled to everything that I would provide, but they weren’t willing to do anything that I wanted the marriage to achieve for the Boss. They were quite confident that marriage was about making the woman happy, not God. Men are just “servant leaders”. Their achievements in the real world don’t qualify them to lead.

And the worst part of this was the responses of pastors, parents, and Christian leaders. Instead of reining in the entitlement of young Christian women, they would instead say things like “you need to lower your standards” and “why don’t you let your 30-year-old girlfriend go to EUROPE for a couple of years, and just wait for her to come back”. I’m sure that these Christian parents, pastors and leaders thought that they were whipping men into shape, but the end result is that men just decline the bad deal that’s being offered to them. We can do ministry and early retirement instead. And that’s better for the Boss than a marriage that is just going to be led by a woman’s feelings.

Country breakfast

Anyway, Crowder did mention something called “country breakfast” and I looked it up, and here’s what it is:

Now, Ayesha didn’t cook this. This Christian grandmother of 15 grandkids makes it. It looks amazing! American breakfast is one of my 3 favorite foods. (I also love Indian food and Thai food). But do you think that any modern young woman can cook something like that? That’s ground sausage in the top left, and STEAK STRIPS at 7 o’clock. Two kinds of potatoes and two kinds of eggs and two kinds of cheese and two kinds of pig!

It’s no wonder that men 100 years ago were chasing traditional women for marriage. But you can’t get anything like that today! Today, you’re more likely to have your pick of aging feminists who have nothing to offer. That’s not a good deal for a man. We have other things that we can do that will be better for the Boss.
