The question was specifically about gender, not race.

I think that since some of you think that it's only the woman's faults, All women should go on strike, and not have sex unless planning to get pregnant.

Men. They marry one woman (if any) yet can impregnate multiple women. A woman only has to be married to one man to to avoid the "out of wedlock birth" lable regardless of how many baby daddies she has.

It's simple logic that seems lost on so many...men?

And there's women who have extramarital affairs and are very able to hide the pregnancy while they're in a relationship. Who knows many many children she had due to the bad choices she made.

You revived a dead thread to whine about something you read in a romance novel?
Really?

It's babies. They seem to be present at these births 100% of the time. Coincidence? I think not.

Well, before the DEMOCRAT great society programs that made men leave the home, blacks used to be mostly Republicans and also were part of 80% two parent households.
Blame it in the Democrats big government Great Society wet dream, and teaching the entitlement mentality.
There is your cause and effect.

Just curious, if anyone would like to chime in.
It's all the fault of gay people.

Because gay people want to get married, all these straight people are having babies out of 'wedlock'.
