The reason for plummeting marriage rates, of course, is not a dearth of marriage education. The problem is tangle of laws and programs that weaken the role of marriage, marginalize fathers, and dangle incentives in front of women to leave their families.
- Like the school curricula that teach gay marriage is morally equivalent to heterosexual union.
- Like the no-fuss, no-fault divorce laws that allow partners to casually discard their sacred vows.
- Like the gender studies programs that brainwash co-eds into believing marriage exploits women. (According to rad-fem Catherine MacKinnon: “Feminism stresses the indistinguishability of prostitution, marriage, and sexual harassment.”)
- It’s the domestic violence programs, underwritten to the tune of $1 billion in federal money each year, that escalate partner conflict and prohibit couples counseling, all the while fostering contempt for men.
- It’s ham-fisted child support programs that take away persons’ drivers’ licenses and toss low-income dads in jail.
- It’s the deplorable Supreme Court Planned Parenthood v. Casey ruling that precludes a father from being informed about his partner’s plan to abort.
- And it’s female empowerment programs like the federally-endorsed “Girl Power!” that undercut the role of families.
