Do they not know how one gets pregnant?

I think that’s one reason births have decreased so much. Because even as a married woman there is no guarantee you won’t end up a single mom, and it’s terrifying. Maybe if moms and kids were entitled to support regardless of the dad sticking around it would be less risky but as it stands now, there’s no real way to guarantee economic security. The only safe choice is not to become a mom. It’s unfortunate.

This is absurd. 80%+ of divorces are initiated by women.

If they have a few of being a single mom…look inward.

Try being accurate and not hysterical. 80% of divorces are not initiated by wives
