And that’s a result of men abdicating their responsibility as breadwinners and protectors of their families.

Sure, you can blame women for getting pregnant out of wedlock, but last I heard, getting pregnant is not a solo enterprise.

Abandoning the mother of your child(ren) is not the manly thing to do.

Women left to their own resources are no doubt going to vote for provision, but that isn’t necessarily an emotional response as much as a practical one. When the choice is going without vs voting for someone who will provide, guess what’s going to happen. Nobody likes to go hungry, but again, that’s not an emotional response. Just watch a man when dinner is not on time......

If the men in their lives won’t take care of them, who can blame them for looking for someone who will?

Exactly. As my previous posts indicate, we are in full agreement. Well said! : )

Once upon a time... specifically from the dawn of civilization through the American Civil War... men knew that in the event of a divorce or separation, custody of all of the children would remain with them.

Thus, while the men had responsibility and fulfilled that responsibility, they had full rights too.

You advocate for men to be responsible: great. Sure. But.

Are you now advocating, correspondingly, for the full parental rights of men to be restored?

The basis of this country was that rights and responsibilities need to be a package deal.

As in “no taxation without representation”.
