You get what you reward, whether in or out of marriage. And the law overwhelmingly rewards single motherhood.
A male pays for the kid and the woman’s housing, and if not able, the state steps in and does it. The risk of pregnancy has long ago been successfully transferred to the male. Indeed, the woman can live more comfortably without him in most cases.
70% of all divorce is now instigated by women, the most cited reason being, “I don’t love him anymore.” The simple fact is, she gets half of everything and the lion’s share of his income for life if they have children. Any male cavorting with a female, in or out of marriage, is playing with fire without a contract; most single fathers are now living in poverty, and their depression and suicide rates are sky-high.
My humble suggestion for any male is to acquaint themselves with the law, including divorce. It will scare you. If you are engaging in unprotected sex, or marrying without a prenuptial agreement, you are insane.
“Any male cavorting with a female, in or out of marriage, is playing with fire without a contract; most single fathers are now living in poverty, and their depression and suicide rates are sky-high.”
That is why marriage is going the way of the dodo; most men see little reason to risk everything - and an increasing number are content to die childless. I would love to know how many of these pregnancies in the under-30 age group involved a male intentionally impregnating a woman.
Women now get the man’s money - which he pays at the point of a government gun - without marriage.
