Baskerville is wrong. At its root, divorce is a cultural problem, not a political one. No-fault divorce laws are a bad idea but they came out of a culture that views marriage as an exercise in self-gratification, which can be ended as soon as one of the spouses tires of it. As soon as people stopped thinking of marriage as an unbreakable, lifelong commitment, they started pressuring lawmakers to “liberalize” divorce laws, to make divorce easier to get.
Telling young men not to have marry or to have children is stupid because it will only further weaken marriage, not strengthen it. Baskerville’s very negative portrayal of women in this article is untrue and only serves to worsen relations between the sexes, not improve them.
He should have advised young men to marry women who see marriage as a lifelong commitment and who are willing to remain chaste before marriage. People who cannot delay their self gratification before marriage will not be able to delay it afterward.
” People who cannot delay their self gratification before marriage will not be able to delay it afterward.”
well...hubby and I are proof that stupid hot headed kids can manage to grow up afterall.
Luckily we happened to grow up together.
Yes Baskerville is wrong, but divorce is too a political problem. Just like the homos want to make same sex marriages a political problem, our laws make the destruction of the nuclear family an easy option.No-fault divorce laws are a bad idea but they came out of a culture that views marriage as an exercise in self-gratification, which can be ended as soon as one of the spouses tires of it.

I agree, but read the many, many comments from those bitter bachelors who see nothing but the gospel truth in what Baskerville writes.He should have advised young men to marry women who see marriage as a lifelong commitment and who are willing to remain chaste before marriage. People who cannot delay their self gratification before marriage will not be able to delay it afterward.It's as if anyone (especially men) who has gone through a divorce and custody battle will unamiously agree with him
