That cost is for society to once again put pressure on the philandering male to support his wife and children.
To be a father, protector and provider so that the mother can be the nurturer and sustainer of the home.
But randy males and liberated females want nothing to do with "your tired old morality". Commitment and Fidelity are terms to be avoided at all costs.
So we end up with feral children, STDs and lonely old people. Multiple "hookups" never provide the joy & satisfaction of a loving, committed marriage, so people tried the LBGQRSTXYZ route which is a dead end - figuratively, for society and often literally.
“So we end up with feral children, STDs and lonely old people”-—
I’m alone and old,but far from lonely.
My building has a good amount of older people that are alone——but far from lonely.
Life is very good for us.
