Why get married when Uncle Sam and his hapless minions will pay to take care of your kid. No guy could compete with that.
In the past, women were more reluctant to have sex before marriage (note that I'm not saying it didn't happen, just that they were more reluctant). Guys who wanted to get female companionship needed to get married in order to obtain it.
Now we have sex being easier to get, and family court making marriage much less attractive to guys. Meanwhile, it has become easier for a woman to be a single mom.
At my office, a pretty, intelligent young woman of twenty accidentally got pregnant. She is a white girl, from a nice middle-class, basically untroubled family that had had hopes for her, and she was devastated.
Several months later she was back at the office to show off her new baby. She couldn’t have been happier. You see, state, federal, and local programs had set her up with a nice apartment and all the financial support she and the baby could use. She was living quite a comfortable lifestyle. When we asked if she was planning to come back to work, she said, “Oh, no! I’m just going to get pregnant again as fast as possible.” She didn’t have to work, and if she had another baby or two she would truly be on easy street. Of course, none of her lovely babies will grow up with a father in the house, but she cares nothing about that. Perhaps she thinks she’ll find them a stepfather or step-babydaddy.
What possible motivation would a young woman with no strong career ambitions or real talent have to work hard and go to college when she can have a perfectly nice lifestyle? We have made a grave mistake by rewarding dysfunctional behavior like this.
Yeah, they actually are married to Uncle Sam. And of course they vote Rat in overwhelming numbers so the goodies don’t stop.
