How Men Became The Prize (And Women Handed It Over) How Men Became The Prize (And Women Handed It Over) — The Angryman takes the men are the prize debate all the way back to where the confusion started, because you cannot understand why men are the prize today without understanding when women were. This is the full history lesson: the age of courting, when a man had to come to her father's house, meet the family, date with a chaperone in the room, earn the father's blessing before he could even propose, and stay engaged for months or years before the wedding. That entire machine existed because the woman was the prize — her purity, her family, her social standing were worth the process. The Angryman walks through betrothals, arranged marriages, the Titanic example, and the forgotten truth that poor people did not even get married back then — they shacked up, and their kids carried the stigma, because marriage was a business built on standards. Then the flip: what men traditionally wanted from women they can no longer get exclusively, because it is given away for free — but what women traditionally wanted from men, the living wage, the education, the upstanding citizen, they still expect in full. That is the whole answer: the checklist survived on one side and collapsed on the other, and that is how men became the prize. Finishing schools were still teaching young ladies etiquette into the 50s and 60s — watch The Five Heartbeats — so this is not ancient history; it is a standard women walked away from while trying to keep the reputation it paid for. And the chivalry demand on top? You do not get the treatment of a lady without the standards of one. The Angryman holds one standard for everybody, and this video is history's receipt. Watch to the end and answer the pinned question.
