(This is a GREAT DEAL, for the guys involved. They don’t have to spend a dime or pretend they love anybody first. They don’t have to waste a particle of energy on courtship rituals of any kind. The girls are now doing all that FOR them. WHY they do it is beyond me.)

Let me try to explain.

It's because parents have abdicated the long childhoods, and the serious protections, that human children need. They are working instead of supervising and morally protecting their kids.

If parents were constantly protecting their daughters, they would be training them and teaching them the difference between attracting any boy with a penis and getting him to want you (something 99% of girls can achieve) and becoming a deep, productive, delightful person who would make a fantastic helpmate and mom, as well as any other kind of profession. The latter holds herself and her body to higher standards. It might be harder, but a few decades ago, being "easy" was actually bad for a woman.

Parents who are ubiquitously around these smart, half-grown teen children would be molding their sons' understandings of the sex drive and responsibilities, too. Boys should fear sex as much as they want it, because even a 16-year-old can be stuck paying 20 years of child support, and be doomed to being a terrible absentee father and ruining his children's lives, all for ONE fumbling hookup that he doesn't even remember.

Your daughters will learn how they should behave from pop and hip hop singers, and their classmates, if you are not around. It's pretty empty to be just a man's fantasy. Most Dads don't wish that for their daughters.

I am all for teenagers getting married and forming lifelong commitments.

Where the idea that people old enough to have kids are not old enough to be married is beyond me.

How exactly is this to be achieved?
