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. 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.
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
Divorce has become a political problem only because it was already a cultural problem.
I don’t care how embittered Baskerville is about marriage. His advice to young men is bad. He’s telling them not to get married and not to have children but he is not telling them not to have sex. I’m sure many young men would be very happy to hear his message that they should not get married or have children. I’m sure they would be more than happy to just “hook up” with young women (as long as they use birth control!) and remain carefree bachelors, who never have to settle down. Yes, that will surely strengthen the institution of marriage.
