The backlash to 'two-parent privilege' continues

Absolute rubbish projection. No one believes any of the left's unhinged nonsense.

When Jill "Fehlis" Filipovic speaks, many Knotseez attentively listen.

Marriage, two parents, conservative morality and ethics and belief in an Almighty God served humanity for hundreds of generations. IMO LBJ's Great Society and radical feminism devalued the normal and introducred this new age of confusion and disdain for moral authority.

I firmly believe that welfare made it difficult for the poor to maintain 2 parent families. Also "rewarding" those that have more children. (Notice I am saying poor as there are a good many families of all colors stuck in this mess). It is not the conservatives, but the liberals that made things this way when they started welfare and keep giving it out. It will take generations to get the mindset back that you need to work for what you get. When Reagan changed welfare rules and daycare help, many women quit the workforce because they could no longer afford to work - they had more disposable income on welfare. So the conservatives contributed to the problems as well. I got stuck on welfare in my 20's (ages ago) and fought to get off. There was NO help to get off welfare, no assistance to go to college. I did finally take out loans to go to college and they took away my foodstamps. Luckily I lived in the country and gardened and canned during the summer so my kids didn't starve. It was possible to move forward, but I had to fight for every step I took and I wanted to quit so many times. It shouldn't have been that hard. It was like the government wanted me to fail, so yes welfare is a trap.. BTW, I didn't fail. I met my hubby and got the support I needed to have my career. He has been my rock for over 30 years now.

Nothing is or ever has been the fault of liberal democrats! If they can't blame Trump, conservatives and Republicans are the fall back option.

It's not just economics. Look at our primate cousins chimpanzees and gorillas. The male impregnates many females and contributes near zero in their upbringing. We humans, who had a common ancestor, began separating from them when the males curbed their urge distribute their seed and started matching the female partner's investment in their common genes.. That is why in spite of a 98.5% common genetic inheritance, humans are humans and apes are apes.

Besides welfare, the decline of marriage is also largely due to making same sex marriage equal to normal marriage. I do not think that either were conservative ideas.

#:4 you are absolutely right, the programs of the " War on Poverty" and "Great Society" are to blame. A case in point: The Bread Winner Sebastian J. Ciancio, M.D.Urologist, Danville Polyclinic, LTD. Dr. Ciancio's letter: “I was speaking to an emergency room physician this morning. He told me that a woman in her 20's came to the ER with her 8th pregnancy. She stated, "my momma told me that I am the breadwinner for the family." He asked her to explain. She said that she can make babies and babies get money for the family. The scam goes like this: The grandma calls the Department of Children and Family Services and states that the unemployed daughter is not capable of caring for these children. DCFS agrees and states that the child or children will need to go to foster care. The grandma then volunteers to be the foster parent, and thus receives a check for $1500 per child per month in Illinois. Total yearly income: $144,000 tax-free, not to mention free healthcare (Medicaid) plus a monthly "Link" card entitling her to free groceries, etc, and a voucher for 250 free cell phone minutes per month. This does not even include WIC and other welfare programs. Indeed, grandma was correct in that her fertile daughter is the "breadwinner" in the family.”

FTA: “So there may be some truth to the idea that men aren’t as appealing as they once were, in part because they aren’t as financially successful.” Oh, please. Heave you seen or heard the average, young woman of today? Men simply don’t have much to choose from, so they’d just as soon avoid the hassle.

Why do liberals always think they can spout off their nonsense theories, but offer no proof? A single women I worked with was in her 50s and complained that the company was to blame for her lack of a husband. I asked her who put a gun to your head and made you work here? Did the recruiter who hired you promise you a family if you took the job? People forget that life is a series of choices, and you live with the choices you make.

Yeah, I had two parent privilege, as did most of the kids I went to school with. It was normal. When the school called home to rat me out for acting up, I had the privilege of being beaten by either parent...or both.

Translation: "suitable partners" = "men who will give her all his money and go away".

It's amazing...People who's parents make good choices are more likely to make good choices. Peoples who's parents make bad choices are more likely to make bad choices,.Choices like: who is a suitable partner, what is a suitable relationship to have with that partner, when is it a suitable time/age/income/education level in order to choose to have children with a suitable partner...choosing to STAY with a suitable partner after having children with them. My Father was a pediatrician, he has patient "families" with 4 generations in less than 50 years with NO permanent(nor even long term) male in the households. Motherhood now "achieved" by 12-13yo's of those families. When he started a single mother was a rarity.

You could use this material for a standup comedy routine. So blatantly ridiculous it could pass for satire. Must be an employment requirement at CNN to have a hollow noggin...

I have been thinking a lot about my family today. It is my sister's 50th wedding anniversary. Mine is next year. My next sister is having her 43rd. My parents and in laws made it to 40 before we lost one half. SIL is at 52, all of my cousins are between 45 and 67 years. All of mine and my husband's aunts and uncles went well over 50. Not every kid that came about was an angel but I can't think of one who had any kids with serious problems that lasted beyond HS. Nobody is particularly famous, most worked what they call Blue Collar jobs. The Steel Mills, the Gas Company, the Post Office, one had a pig farm. Growing up I saw the respect for each other, the common religious values that were lived everyday, American values and patriotism, and responsibility. A good marriage is the best thing you can have in life, a bad one, the worst. All kids need a good example I'm afraid that too many kids never have that gift. I cannot imagine what would have happened if any one of us acted like the "teens" we see on the news every night.

Thomas Sowell, in his book 'Basic Economics' pointed out that a broken family is the surest indicator of poverty. He also stated that before Johnson's 'Great Society' welfare laws, blacks had a higher rate of intact marriages than whites, and were gaining on whites in overall family wealth. I understand that the Great Society welfare laws provide cash payments for women with children, but NOT if there is a man in the house. It seems to me that in much of American black culture, families broke up in order to get the free Cash and benefits. As a result, we have had several generations of black children, males in particular- growing up without the firm hand of a Dad on their shoulder, guiding them as they grew up. The collapse of the society, and the rise of Urban Thug Culture in the big Democ'RAT run cities is the result.
