Yes, but I know several, no, many women who waited until marriage to have sex, got married, realized they were unhappy or were in an abusive marriage, and divorced. Some of them remarried, now have kids with multiple dads, and are happy.
It isn't just about sex before marriage and sleeping around and quickie divorces. It's ALSO about women being pressured into marriage at a young age because they think that's what they're supposed to do, and don't stop and truly think, "Hey, do I really want to spend the rest of my life with this person? Do I really need to rush into this marriage?"
While I certainly do think that the culture of promiscuity our society perpetuates has something to do with the problem, so does the fact that women are increasingly realizing that they don't have to stay in an unhappy marriage like they were expected to 50 years ago. But there is also a responsibility women (and men) have to be diligent in ensuring that they are really prepared to make a lifelong commitment to another. I honestly don't think most people getting married nowadays are truly prepared to do that. Otherwise you wouldn't see such high divorce rates.
That's why we have marriage counseling. Most people give up too quickly when they are not happy and do not seek all the available options. You're right, it's not all about promiscuity, but my statement about quickie divorces stands.
I'm still trying to figure out the significance of this thread. They have kids by different men. They tend to be more disadvantaged. Got it. Soooooooo....now what?
If there were different fathers paying child support the mother wouldn't be so disadvantaged.
Wow! Multiple Dads, those private tryst's must have been crowded!
Why do you even bother posting? Obviously only one sperm can fertilize one egg, what you said here indicates you don't even have knowledge of basic human biology. It most certainly adds nothing to the discussion, but that does not surprise me coming from you.
Here's the thing..she will grow up thinking that's "the way it is".
This generation of kids with the same mom and different dads will grow up thinking nothing of it. Then in turn may do the same.
See where this is going ?
Exactly. To use my own family again, or rather, my in-laws, DH's mom had four kids all by different men. DH is the only stable one out of the bunch, as he married me and we are expecting our first and probably only child. His sister has four kids, the first by a one night stand, then she got married and the child was raised by her husband as his own (she was 17 when she got pregnant). They had two more kids, supposedly from her DH but she slept with BOTH OF HIS BROTHERS as well as other guys during the relationship so nobody can be sure of who the father is. Then they broke up and she got with another guy and has another kid. DH's other sister has two kids by two different men, although she's not positive who the father is of the second kid. DH's little brother is a teenager and thankfully he has not followed in his family's footsteps so far. Only time will tell if the next generation will follow in their mothers' slutty footsteps. There is no stability to act as a reference point.

The family unit started to disintegrate with the boomers as they entered young adulthood and rebelled and did their own thing. Each generation since then has evolved and it seems it's further away from the sense of family unit. These days it can be defined as anything or nothing.
I would say the Silent Generation was probably the last with a strong sense of family unit.

Aah yes, the Great Depression and the Second World War. Good times! Family life was just swell then.

Please provide a reputable link to support this assertion.
Watch some of the other videos in this series----99.9% are black-man-on-multiple-black-women segments. Is this some kind of sick racist carnival Povich is running here?

Didn't a lot of those boomers join in on the progressive secular movement? If so it is easy to see why they seem to be so strong today. Secularism is the main stomping grounds of anti-Christianity, IMO.
I have seen that number many times from that left accepted source so maybe you are right. Maybe this post will help some of those who think that the OP was totally wrong.
