I don't see the poison drops really playing a part. Yes, women are told they don't need a man, but how many women who are at 30 or above, were just avoiding relationships? Very very few. If you meet a woman in her 30's or 40's who hasn't been married, it's usually not because she was a workaholic or thought she didn't need a man; she dated, had long term relationships and for whatever reason they ended so now she's single. Very few women do the sleep around but don't get attached thing for a long period of time. So it's not really feminism affecting how women think, it may be more to do with why relationships today are less solid today. For eg, I have a friend who is 35, educated and single. She wants to get married soon and have kids. I've seen her cry over this. But she isn't single because she was doing the whole "I dont need a man" thing; she married in her 20's, her husband turned out to have a porn addiction, she got divorced, had a couple short relationships that didn't work, and so now she's single. Now, she's desperate to find a husband, she has traveled to a few states to meet men she met online, but if she doesn't feel a connection or whatever, she stops seeing the guy. She had a relationship recently but it ended due to religion. So she's desperate to find a husband but isn't just looking to find ANY dude. She's still picky. And this describes most of the women in this age range I've met who want to get married soon. They're desperate but not, if that makes sense. Actually I know one girl, out of many, who would probably settle for what she doesn't really want just to have kids. But she is the anomaly from what I've met, and she admits she has daddy issues.
You still have not mentioned your age. She got married meaning she said "I do" and said "in sickness and poor health." Bails because of a "porn addiction." Likely, she was not working out, likely she was not fulfilling his desires and needs. Clearly, she did not keep her word cause she left. See, this is not what I am seeing. I am seeing women suddenly become desperate for marriage, for children, and men are disposable. The Link broke or is not working but, you may google it.Quebec man court ordered to pay for 3/4 children despite DNA evidence proving 1) they are not his and 2) she is a hoe.
Thosewho say, "cannot say that" are pushing censorship but, the problem is that, more and more men are raising children that are not his. Its pretty fucked up. The issue amongst genders is so prevalent today it is sickening but, women are taught that, they can do no wrong. They can run up a financial monstrosity of debt and some schmuck will clean up her mess. This is why men may date someone in their late twenties or early thirties who has never evolved and matured into a woman. She will still be lacking developmental character traits you normally develop. Society is setup to provide a safety net in the event they cannot support themselves. The narrative is still, "you don't need a man" and "I am a independent woman" yet, how few are actually in that driver seat? Probably more now then ever before yet, the actual amount with good mental health, fitness, income, debt free, ambitious, won the genetic lottery, works out etc. is miniscule at best.

Maybe women are getting too picky, because the internet has opened up more "imaginary" dating options; I say "imaginary" because 6's getting attention from more attractive guys, typically doesn't lead to anything more than hump and dump. Typically, guys date up lookswise, women date down lookswise. Maybe we are losing the ability to communicate, due to social media, text messages etc, hence lasting relationships are tougher to maintain. Maybe since women can earn more now, they are more picky, but then again, if they're improving themselves more than they were decades ago, men should be too.
6s males are not getting the same attention as a female 6. What we have is, women swimming in a dating pool much larger then her attractiveness should allow. What follows is a woman riding the cock carousel until her looks and physical form wain. Now, she wants to settle down, start a family, get married, and a man is disposable. This is why we have sexodus. As I stated above, likely, these men have a avoidant attachment style starting from early childhood. Factors begin with parenting but, they also include personal experience and a variety of others. If they spent their life being rejected by women, this would only amplify their being avoidant, and here we have sexodus or exodus.
For us, we date, we do PU, we experience interactions, and we do not take rejection or blowouts to heart. Most of us are likely anxious in attachment theory or possibly avoidant. I suspect some are secure although, those are usually the ones in long term relationships most often. The studies suggest that secures can have relations with both avoidant and anxious people. Secures make up 50% of the dating pool, 25% avoidant and 25% anxious. Now imagine, someone anxious dating someone else avoidant?

I say all this joe, because you may be mistaking women in your own dating life, as simply the type who wants to trap you, or just get married to anyone stable. It's rarely like this. I remember you stated a woman told you on the first date she wants to have kids, and you took that as a sign she was trying to trap you. It prob wasn't. If she knows she wants to have kids one day, and has probably had to end relationships after a few months when the guy said he didn't want kids, she may just be getting that out of the way early. I have another friend who was with a dude for a year I think and they ended when she found out he never wants to have kids, because she loves kids and wants to have them one day. So now she makes sure to ask men on first dates if they want kids, to know whether to proceed with dating them or not waste their time.
She made the pass immediately after talking about wanting kids like right now. This created anxiety for me. I was content to fool around a bit but, I was not going to have sex with her and we rarely talk anymore. I was completely disinterested from that point on. If you just met a girl through PU who states, "I want children." She follows up with "I am X years old. My body is telling me to start having children," would this not send off bells and whistles in your mind? I did not have a condom on me (I don't carry them in my wallet). I was not going to take one from her. Long story short, it was a experience I took as far as I wanted to and forgot about shortly after. If a woman said she wants children
one day and
to get married one day, that is fine but, first hangout? We were suppose to go to a cafe and she suggested going back to her place for a movie. A Christmas Story was on but, we watched none of it

Dating and relationships have changed, but how much of it is really due to feminism? The way we communicate has changed. The way we meet people has changed. The way we see the world has changed. Yes, maybe decades ago an ugly guy could get an ugly girl because her options were limited. But if the ugly girl is able to adapt and hence expect BETTER today, why aren't these guys adapting and becoming BETTER.
Many links I posted are feminism accusing PU as rape culture. Men want to get laid. Instead of PU being readily available and on every counter at a convenience store, we have cosmo magazine for females, and nothing for the men. The many articles that talk about dating are some factual science geek in a lab jacket but, very few to no quality information.
To answer your question; some men are adapting, and becoming better. PU for me has helped increase opportunities for me. There are many others who have improved in their dating life and now have choices. Others in PU are capitalizing on a niche market in order to exploit the socially awkward and inept. I think most guys in PU are awkward and lacking social equity and therefore, easily susceptible to exploitation. We saw the recent day game sham. I suspect more will be outed over the years. Not much has changed in regards to passive and dating roles but, the access has improved and regardless of Jeffy Allan's program, women do better at online dating. Passive dating role is typically what women resort too. I believe I mentioned all of the above women throughout the holiday having online dated at one time or another.
