You're mostly correct.Funnily enough, the limited information we have on properly conducted Universal Basic Incomes resulted in LESS single-motherhood. It's because women were less likely to enter into relationships. Something about having a stable income resulted in more conservative relationship choices.
And you're not the only one to think that the women's liberation movement had the unintended consequence of creating single motherhood. All of the privileges but not of the responsibility of that liberation is what we have now.
You can't just liberate women in Western society but have no social safety nets for them. We need universal healthcare and a UBI (Fair Tax plan has this). You'd see far less single mothers. And that means much better outcomes for children.
Guess what? Same exact reasons exist for Black Americans. We went from 97% dollar to dollar parity between working age black men vs. working age white men in 1905 to something like 55%. That was specifically due to the Civil Right Movement. That's what the CRM got us: poorer, less-educated, less-functional, black people. You can't liberate a demographic but not take responsibility for post-liberation.
Many people would say my positions are racist and sexist. But the facts are indisputable. They are not even controversial in the psychology, criminology, and sociology circles. Becomes morons keep calling out these things as sexist and racist, we are unable to have true dialogue about them. And that means we cannot make progress.
Thank you for your response.
This adds an interesting perspective and something I never considered: More work needs to be done in Post-Liberation. Human beings seem to do poorly with unstructured freedom juxtaposed with less support.
I did not know that about the dollar parity of African Americans. Thank you very much. Would you mind exchanging emails over DMs? I would enjoy maintaining contact even if something happened to the site.
