Her conclusions are wrong and her agenda is clear, but she included some interesting DaTa!

One Johns Hopkins sociologist found that, between 2017 and 2018, 24.5% of college-educated women were unmarried when they birthed their first child, a radical increase from 1996, when just 4% were unmarried.

Slut culture is alive and well.

But among Americans with less education, the results are even more startling: Between 2017 and 2018, 86.5% of women without a high school degree gave birth while unmarried, as did more than 60% of those with a high school diploma. The numbers also reflect stark inequities among racial lines: Close to three-quarters of Black mothers have a child outside of marriage, compared with 66% of American Indian and Native Alaskans, 53% of Hispanics, 29% of Whites and 17% of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.

I didn’t see mention of abortion rates along "racial lines.’

Extramarital births are also generally more common in the conservative states that also ban abortion, pay a low minimum wage and have high rates of child poverty, uninsured children and maternal and infant mortality. The women who are living the feminist dream, on the other hand — who graduate from college, who wait to find love before getting married, who delay childbearing and focus on their careers and who largely vote for Democrats — have lower rates of single parenthood and higher rates of marriage (they also have fewer children and have them later, but their children wind up better off).

“Conservative states” - ignoring of course the way the high demographics vote. And where in the state these numbers originate.

I think “marriage” should be changed to something like “committed relationship with the father.” There’s more than one way to do it.

I think we can all agree that the feminist myth that “wOmAn DoN’t nEed mAn” is destroying American women. Women CANNOT raise children “just as good” without men. It’s lie crits have been telling since the '60s.

If American women want to continue down this path to destruction, American men will just find mates elsewhere.

They NEED to go heavy on the psychological manipulation.

The biological imperative for an exclusive monogamous pairing to produce offspring is a strong barrier to pretty much anything else.

They “don’t need no man” until the power goes out, the plumbing is clogged up, someone tries to break into their home, or their engine locks up because they didn’t change the oil for 20,000 miles.

That’s just a nasty way to say women are now able to have premarital sex without being shamed the way men always have been able to.

Interesting read. Did I see that was 2017/2018?

And than CNN went on and said

Extramarital births are also generally more common in the conservative states that also ban abortion, pay a low minimum wage and have high rates of child poverty,

Now what’s wrong with that picture…which states had abortion banned back in 2017/2018?

Or I’m I missing something?

Ladies … you do NOT have to put out to keep that man. And if you realize that you’ll lose him if you don’t put out, he’s not worth keeping in the first place.

The shift away from shame about immorality is a tremendous asset to rutting males. And equally valuable is the asset of abortion to clean up the fallout.

Of course if they all act the way most men do in their late teens and 20s then the men won’t have much of a choice if they want to get married.

And we’re seeing the results of that trajectory.

Certainly I want to see society change here. The personal allure to the contrary creates a collective march to continuing the direction we’re heading.

That is straight from the Manosphere.

These supposedly “strong, Christian men” are so afraid of a woman who has goals beyond just cooking and making babies… that they are suggesting to other lonely, inadequate men… that they should go to another country to get young… submissive women.

All these conservative men think they are Don Draper… but in reality they are George McFly :rofl:

I certainly don’t want to see non married sex to be shamed. But I won’t take exception to your view since you are literally the only male I have ever seen want to apply the same rule to both men and women.

All based on this: “The problem is that decades of largely conservative policy-making have fueled inequality, gutted the working class, left a generation of men isolated and under-employed and unmoored, impoverished families and made it harder for women to both control their own fertility and find suitable partners.”

Which was totally unsupported by anything in the article. I started to look to the comments to see it torn apart, but forgot this was CNN. Their articles can’t withstand a comments section.

George McFly had the capacity to love his family.

Don Draper was kind of a sociopath.

“Extramarital births are also generally more common in the conservative states that also ban abortion,…”

Exactly how long have these conservative states been allowed to ban abortions?
