5. The welfare system hotly promoted and buttressed both by the feminists and the politically correct supports single motherhood. And the same is true for the laws concerning child-support payments and alimony.
These not only make fathers and husbands redundant, they also encourage their very own women and children to see them in exactly this way.
Men are, therefore, easily rejected, and they are often also treated with contempt.
They are, after all, redundant.
And another word for 'redundant' is, of course, 'worthless'.
Lyndon Baines Johnson's "Great Society" Welfare programs destroyed the Black Family and that gave the example for the rest to follow.
Whining about Political Correctness and Feminists is silly. Both were virtually powerless at the time the damage was done in 1965. It is the fault of all do-gooder liberals, not just a couple of subsets of liberalism.
They just can't help themselves.
Daniel Patrick Moynihan was one of the very first to warn about this happening, but he could never stop himself from voting to make it happen.

The other side of the vice that crushed the head of the black family was the War of Drugs. A misnomer. I've been in a court and seen a young white surburban kid get probabtion for a bag of reefer, same court, same day, same judge, same charge -- a black kid gets 9 months in the workhouse.
If it wasn't that the war in drugs puts so many young black men in jail at the time they would be starting down the path of marriage and fatherhood ... even those poisonous welfare programs alone would not have done the black family in.
The welfare, the vile fatherhood diminishing liberalism and feminism that was the vice plate on the left.
The Drug War, the over-zealous law-and-order -- many a "conservative" fostered that from G Gordon Liddy and Nixon onward. That was the vice plate on the right.
Both those forces twisted the vice screws and the plates busted open the skull of black fatherhood. And left us all a legacy of a generation -- *generations* now -- of fatherless black children, with all the anger any bastard, for the accident he had no cause in of being a bastard, has.
