The State Doesn’t Love You

The classic concern that marriage was a patriarchal institution that held women back needs to be revised, maybe even dramatically revised in 2016… What we see, basically, is that daughters are more likely to flourish educationally and even later on in life professionally, across class lines, when they’ve had an involved dad who’s engaged with them in their lives. And so there’s a way in which both fatherhood and marriage, done right, are, I think, acting in service of women’s progress.

Christina Hoff Sommers talks with Brad Wilcox of the American Enterprise Institute on the advantages of marriage and the consequences of its abandonment.

  1. Common sense that simply does not fit the ingrained narrative of the progressive left.
    Like Duh…eh??
    But then common sense haa never been a plank in their Anti everything mentality.

  2. So, we should go back to barefoot and pregnant? War on Women!

  3. Exactly. Never forget that one of the left’s primary aims is the destruction of the traditional family structure so as to impose the state as the family head.

  4. Both parents raising a child in a stable and loving home. Thank God for all the studies, no way common sense could have allowed that obvious conclusion, given that’s now a superpower, and since no Dems possess any of it – locked in their rational(ization) “thought” around “critical” theory and preserving their phony baloney jobs – it’s of course racist.

  5. Interestingly enough, had a discussion with a lesbian who asked which is better to raise a child:
    1. A loving gay couple
    2. A drunk wife beater
    I said you missed the 3rd choice. “What is that?” was the response…
    3. A loving Christian, God fearing couple, who train up a child in the ways of the Lord.
    The discussion didn’t go any further.
