how much due diligence was performed on these wives? Were the main criteria used how good she was in bed and what she looked like in a bathing suit? It doesn't matter. For once in your life, try -- just try -- to rise above the individual cases and look at the trend involving millions of people. The continued existence of your civilization may depend on it. Half of the nation's children are not living in the same home with their biological fathers. You have young men, and women, avoiding marriage like the plague. Half of the men who have gone into marriage come out the other side warning younger ones not to go near it. Everything we know tells us that massive-scale single parenthood is a disaster, a recipe for a civilization that will crack apart, unable to properly raise its young. Yet the policies of our government are creating more of this every day. And the best you can do is make snide remarks about men? Thanks for thinking so hard about this. |
Do not for a moment assume that I underestimate the gravity of the situation. I know full well what an important influence good fathers have on their children; I have had a lot of time to think about that since the death of my own father a few years ago.
What I think you are missing, though, is that the type of conversation that is occurring on this thread will do nothing to heal the wounds that men and women have inflicted upon each other in the last few decades. Conservatives need to find ways to support the lifelong commitment of one man to one woman-which just happens to be the best known environment to raise happy, healthy children. Would you like to explain to me how improving men's rights in divorce proceedings advances this end?
