The problem is one of critical mass. Prior to the 1960s, when most American men got married before having children, they formed a peer group with other men as role models for the younger men. Fathers and uncles could hold a young man's feet to the fire if he abandoned his children's needs or egregiously mistreated his wife.
But when a few college-educated feminists decided that single parenting should be woke fashion for everybody in the 60s, fatherlessness at first affected only a few kids. But between the welfare rules driving fathers from the home during the LBJ years and the feminists' strident overthrow of society through lawsuits promoting free sex, birth control and abortion, judicial decisions of the decades to follow "progressively" dismantled the traditonal family for everyone but the lucky, primarily the well-educated and affluent.
Most impacted? The less-capable and less-affluent folks, resulting in an enormous number of vulnerable and disfunctional chidren. Some of those offspring are already young grandparents today, never having married anyone and neglacting their childrearing through need or ignorance—a multi-generational catastrophe. You see the diastrous results all around you, and in the headlines.
Marriage had been part of Western Civ for 5,000 years. But it's so much faster to tear down than to build up.
Have you not experienced a shamefully randy father among your circle? How could he possibly be even remotely a good influence? You are way uncultured.
