I don't know what it is to tell you the truth. Sometimes I think it is the lack of having a real father figure. To me a real father wouldn't condone such an action, regardless of how he feels about how it occurred. There again, I also think a real 'mother' wouldn't condone it either. Since there has to be at least a father/mother, mother, or father somewhere in the vicinity during the formative years, something is wrong.
Could it be peerage and attitudes in media? Government? Educational Institutions? Something is very, very fundamentally wrong with this society.
