>Yes, the shame always fell on the unwed mother, never the unwed father.
That’s BS and you know it. Many men have had their lives and carers destroyed over getting someone pregnant.
But hey, you got your “feminist” equality now. There’s only shame on the fathers for not sticking around (even though in most cases it’s the mother who cuts them off) and nothing but praise for single mothers. How’s that working for America?
I’m as far from a feminist as one can be.
Yes, many men, my brother included, have had their lives destroyed after a divorce. The kids suffered the most and still do.
But, back when I was growing up, and before my time, the unwed fathers weren’t held accountable or shamed. It was the girl who was shamed.
Now, unwed motherhood/single mothers are lauded for some reason and the fathers are screwed. And it’s screwing American Society.
But back then, historically, only the unwed mothers were shamed. Now they are cheered as single mothers/parents. One extreme to the other. Both suck.
