[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah this article isn't just pushing getting married young but a specific version of marriage as well.

And I think it is likely to backfire. Portraying marrying young as being part of the right wing stuff isn't going to be attractive to many young women.

I'm someone who married young but this rhetoric was a bit skin crawling. [/quote]

Yep. And it is also a tell that he doesn’t actually care about the well-being of families and children. The RW commenters who actually genuinely believe that family and kids are beneficial advocate for family friendly policies that help everyone. I think they realize that not only are these policies good for them and their communities, but that the whole point is to make family life seem like an attractive option to younger people - and moral browbeating doesn’t really get you there even if you are religious.

Yes, actually family friendly policies like maternity AND paternity leave, sick leave, PreK, etc.

Yelling at people to get married will do diddly squat.[/quote]
