[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not so much single motherhood.  It's absentee fathers.

I contend that so many young men have behavioral issues because they don't have a strong male role model.  [/quote]

Totally agree. Crime and poverty would diminish greatly if family structure and/or family support remained in place. [/quote]

So many young men have behavioral problems because the developed world is increasingly not a place where men are adapted to thrive. Thus they must resort to misogyny to level and or stay on the playing field. Fatherless households don’t reap the benefits of misogyny; rather they are most punished by the effects of unchecked misogyny.

Misogyny has given us the current policies that at their root believe that if given the chance most deadbeat men want to step up. They just need to be incentivized with feel good social programs which much like anti domestic violence programs just teach them how to evade in a way much less likely to end up with them behind bars. The deadbeat thinks “So I just need to go to this parenting class and the you’ll cut my court ordered child support, my arrears and I show up for a few visits and then when the coast is clear I can go back spending all of my extra cash on Tito’s and trips to Vegas.”

Instead of asking how do we combat single motherhood ask how do we “combat” declare war on deadbeat dads. I say make it prohibitively expensive for men to have children that they don’t want to actively raise. Penalize them monetarily and did they don’t pay, no questions asked throw them in prison and make them work off their debts.

Much like with drunk driving i imagine men would be much more controlled in their beastly needs to do everything to excesses. They are perfectly capable of  policing themselves when they don’t like the consequences of failing to do so.

Forcing parenthood on teens and poor people who aren't prepared for it, aren't financially stable for it, aren't emotionally mature enough for it, isn't going to do anything to improve family values.

Typical right wing response is to just punish them.  While at the same time, opposing sex ed, opposing contraceptive, opposing means of preventing pregnancies, opposing the social safety nets that would help provide stability in the event a couple did have an unexpected child and weren't prepared for it.[/quote]
