It’s been said that in the era of not-so-leftist TV,
kids got the idea that Ozzie & Harriet, Father Knows Best,
and similar sit-coms represented real family life. When the kids grew up
and got married, real life didn’t measure up
to what they’d expected and the divorce rate took off, never
to come back down.
No FAULT divorce, "do your own thing", the hippy dippy garbage and the weirdo feminazi stuff brought about the rise in divorce.
