This is a direct result of no fault divorce and government sponsored out-of-wedlock pregnancy.
It is NO ACCIDENT that the left’s policies have systematically dismantled the traditional family.
The family is the enemy of the communist utopia.
***Great article! The author missed another phenomenon - males raised by females. Males raised without training in becoming and being male revert to the innate “Lord of the Flies” mode further debasing the male currency.***
Agreed. Along with this phenomenon, I see another trend with teenage males - they gravitate toward any male role model they can get their hands on.
My own son just turned 18 and my husband is deployed. For the last few months, my son has been spinning with frustration. He’s really pushing me away.
I believe that this is a natural part of his development. A healthy 18 year old man doesn’t cleave to his mother.
He’s made a friend. A 31 year old author who’d been there, done it all, turned his live around and made himself a man. He’s taken my son under his wing and, when my son comes home, he’s all excited about the ‘revelations’ that this guy has shared with him about being a man.
Of course all of these things are things that I’ve taught him and raised him with for the last 18 years; but, for some reason, he needed it from a strong male role-model.
I wish the well-developed men in our society would step up and mentor these boys on a regular basis.
Boys need men - period. Without it, they gravitate to each other and you end up with the ‘lord of the flies’ situation that you described.
