I was thinking the same thing while I typed.
The problem is the college and masters thing.
Also the incredible immaturity level at 18 today compared to 100 years ago.
I can attest to the DEVASTATING mental issue a 16 year old deals with when they have sex while not married.
Your brain is not as equipped as your body for sex at that age.
Furious jealousy and wanting to control the girl and NEVER lose the girl you just had this other-worldly experience with can drive you mad at that age.
Lust and the Addiction to the endorphins released during sex are misinterpreted as POWERFUL love and that usually ends bad.
That is the fault of “modern” parenting and lack of hardship.
Even Dr. Spock admitted he had a made a big mistake in advising parents essentially not to discipline their children.
Add in a whopping amount of government: Child Support Enforcement Units (comprised almost exclusively of “single” mom misandrists) and “Family” Court with attorneys making more and more money as families fight it out and you have the fall of civilization.
George Washington was out riding the countryside and doing surveyor work at the age of 16!!
I hardly trust a modern-day 16 year old to cut my grass properly!
