[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We need to consider the explosion of single parent families - most of which are headed by women. Props to the women for taking care of their kids but an absent father is a real deficit for a lot of kids. [/quote]

Correlation, or causation? A lot of the men who fathered these children are not fit to parent. I wonder (feelings only, no proof) if many are better off being raised by women than being exposed to their biological fathers. I guess a few generations ago, the man would have been required to marry the woman he impregnated, or face severe social censure. And that can lead to wretched abusive situations of everyone feeling trapped and taking it out on everyone else.

Relatedly, I wonder how much the general insufficiency of men contributes to the falling birth rate. As men have rejected the strictures of society and the responsibilities that come with it, women are opting out too. They've have seen how many men will blithely walk away from their responsibilities, and are avoiding that whole thing, either by becoming single parents by choice, or forgoing children altogether. I know so many women who have made their peace with being single and childless, not because they couldn't get a man, but because they didn't want to be saddled with the men they could get.

Want more babies? Make more good men.

Or, MAGA version, eliminate women's options. [/quote]
