"Childhood" has been elevated to this sacred thing that must be preserved no matter what with the cost being personal responsibility while we are teaching kindergartners how to be adult like sexually...

Liberalism is a Mental disorder.

How many of the Marines that stormed the beach at Iwo Jima were 18 years old at the time? An awful lot of them. What a change, in just two generations...

The 25 adulthood limit won't stand up for long, either. After some of the social functions I've attended lately, I think it's already nearing 50. :)

The arrested development of adult men and women is a central pillar of the Communist/Globalist Agenda.

Than I propose that no one under the age of 26 be allowed the franchise. That would put almost every Democrat out of office.

So...it’s ADOLESCENTS we are sending to die in Muslim hellholes? Hmmm, shouldn’t that be illegal?

That’s right, don’t rush. There’s free, illegal labor and anchor potential streaming across the boarder.

Then we should also change the voting eligibility requirements! I’d exempt our fine military servicemembers of course....

And unfortunately some of us men who want to enter the adult world all the way and start a family have little to no options to find a suitable mate. Women of Gen X or younger are more shallow than ever thanks to the media’s influence, so if you’re not Brad Pitt they’ll hold out for someone better-looking and say you should just be “friends.” Many of them are now dynamos in school and their career and value that far higher than a marriage or family. These women wouldn’t even consider getting married in their 20s. The feminist-influenced culture is stronger than ever when it comes to training women to think men are worthless and that they should be “independent.” I’ve been told by some that they’d rather have a baby on their own and be a single mom than ever get married. So the ones who follow the “rules” in society have the money to support themselves and wait for the earn, Mr. Perfect will have to earn more to be suitable. Which makes their prospects even more unlikely since women are starting to earn more than men these days on average.

As these women get older and start to “hit the wall,” their standards sometimes go down, but by then they’re approaching being past child-bearing age. Meanwhile, if as a guy you lower your standards for a mate, you’re looking at women who have substance-abuse problems, poor physical or mental health, terrible mismanagement of their finances, or other baggage that would make it hard to have a normal family. Nevermind trying to find a woman who agrees with you on basic political issues. The vast majority of young women are liberals.

But the biggest problem by far is their culture. Women are far more likely to be “followers” in society than men. They follow all the cues in the culture. And the culture, media and their education has been hammering into their head over and over for decades that they need men like a fish needs a bicycle. Single motherhood is respected and championed far, far more than marriage. And it’s supported by transfer payments where necessary. There is no stigma against being unmarried or being a single mother. That died the day that Dan Quayle was torn to shreds over the issue. Couple that with the fact that the younger generation of women are now doing as good or better financially than men, which has taken away the biggest practical incentive for them to get married. One thing that contributes to the modern breakdown of the family is when even otherwise responsible people in society choose not to start them.

First thing to do is raise the voting age.

Contrast with my grandfather from the Dakota Territory who left home around 14, to make it on his own in Montana and Wyoming.

And his son, my father, who at age 17, enlisted in the Marines to kill Japs, got wounded after 45 days fighting on Okinawa, war over, out of military before 20th birthday with over 2 years servrice.

He kicked me out, at age 18. It sort of ran in the family—starting manhood young.
