In light of the declining population replacement rate that's been going on in Europe and The U.S. over the last few decades, it's encouraging that women are wanting to have babies.
Of course, the bad thing is these children are being brought up without fathers.
Not a fluke...
Just maybe you can get more money from the government spitting out kids?...me thinks.
Here are the absolute reasons: War against men. War against marriage. Marriage to the government.
This segment brought to you by no-fault-divorce laws, those laws which allow you to leave your spouse for any reason, no matter how frivolous. Thanks, no-fault-divorce laws! #redeye
As you slowly take G_d (and the eternal consequences) out of the equation, giving birth out of wedlock easily becomes the norm. Heathenism seems to be the way of the day.
All that the father absence will do is produce less masculine men out of these boys (the stereotypical “nice guys”) who themselves will then have unsatisfactory relationships with women, if they’re even that lucky.
Just my opinion.
Reason: Promiscuity. End of story.
I know in my family (yes I know that does not translate to the general population), they view a government license an intrusion on their personal liberty, yet they have a spiritual ceremonies commit their lives together and start a life.
Technically the woman is single, they are not.
(Don’t’ give me grief, its what they beleive/think)
Obviously not all of them.
Hmmmmm - - - - . You may have something there!
More than one girly young men have shown hatred for their Mothers, such as the Grade School shooter this year.
Yes, there will be the violent ones also, having not been subject to a father’s firm hand.
Whatever you do, don't also look at the rise in crime rates, incarcerations, drug abuse, and poverty during that same time frame.
Could lead to some embarrassing revelations about the good old ‘proper’ style of family life.
“single women raise children with the help of their relatives instead.”
Really. Those whom I know, rely somewhat on their relatives and about 50% more on the goodies available through the state. IMO, those who are not self sufficient, use their kids as a lever to pry help from their relatives.
Meanwhile, this publication looks to me to be some kind of liberal rag...probably of the “it takes a village” mind set.
talk about getting the milk without buying the cow....
I'd like to shake these gals and tell them they should demand more respect for themselves than to be educated, working and buying houses with their new found wages, or having a baby before getting the guy to committ....silly, and financially stupid...
my cranky old FIL told me something....that after WW2 when the Gi's were home, he said if a guy met a girl he liked he would ask her to get married right away, because if he waited even a while and played finicky, she would be married off to someone else...such was the demand for marriage ready young women....
and now, a guy can get the sleepins and the house and the baby for nothing at all....sweet deal...
“Given the changes in Europe over the past half-century, marital births could virtually disappear in some countries in another 50 years.”
Given the unfolding demographic changes in Europe, I would not bet on it. In 50 years muslims will control countries like Sweden.
Number 4 - Fear of Divorce.
The writer completely misses the obvious. The simple rules of economics states that when you subsidize something (single mothers) you get more of them. When you tax something (successful families) you get less of them.
