We two were never your friend and speaking only for myself ( though I'm pretty certain that MM will concur ), have less than no desire to be your "friend"!

What next...bring back the stocks?

Public shaming isn't the answer...a restoration of rules, manners, civility, morality, and yes, actual parenting is the answer! So is a return to religious belief; excluding those of Islam.

Well, I guess I'll just have to struggle on without you two lovely, kind ladies as friends. It will be hard.

You're really old, so tell me. Do you remember a time when divorce was frowned upon by society? People were ashamed to be divorced. Do you remember when an illegitimate child was called a bastard? When teen daughters who got pregnant were shipped off to Aunt Sally's in North Dakota to save the family's honor?

Those were all examples of "public shaming." People avoided those behaviors, partly to avoid public shaming.

This is what I'm talking about when I say public shaming. It's a thing, and a valuable tool to enforce the civil code.

Today, in large part, there is no shame for these behaviors. In fact, it is celebrated. High schools now have special rooms for "teen moms" to bring their kids. Single mothers are heroes. Chicks like in this article under discussion are written about in magazines as good examples.

This can all be lain at the feet of modern feminism.

You can ask for a return to rules, manners, civility, morality and yes, those are important. But the way those are enforced is by actual action, not disregard. Public shaming is part of that enforcement.

And as for a return to actual parenting. Over half the population of todays youth are products of a broken home or being raised by single mothers. Parenting suffers and we have generations of broken people because of it. The reasons for these broken homes can also be lain at the feet of feminism, as I've described previously.

So, I repeat.

Feminism is cancer.
