[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 3040106, member: 109862"] The number one predictor of incarceration in youth and adulthood is fatherlessness. The lefties and the woke don’t like to acknowledge it but the data is rock solid and proved over and over again. The single biggest influence on whether or not a young person ends up in trouble with the law is NOT the colour of their skin or their socioeconomic situation, it’s if dad’s around when they’re growing up. Obviously this doesn’t apply to ALL fathers, there are bad ones we all know about, but the existence of exception doesn’t negate the reality of the rule. Having no father around is one of the worst things that can happen to someone and it’s an epidemic in our society, for a variety of reasons. There’s politically correct nonsense fuelling the issue but there’s also an increase in the number of men that won’t stop acting like boys. But the thought of telling these irresponsible types that can impregnate a woman but not be there for a child that it’s time to “man up” is apparently toxic masculinity haha. A vicious circle. I used to be a pastor. I feel a real burden about the hopelessness or meaninglessness so many of our young men are afflicted with, the discouragement, and the society that’s just adding to it and telling them that it’s somehow a wrong thing to be a strong man with ambition and the capacity for violence if needed within them under voluntary control. Or that they’re so “privileged” and have some kind of inherent guilt to the world just by virtue of being young men. Never mind that the suicide rate among young men is THREE TIMES what it is in young women. I guess all those men who couldn’t see a path forward living anymore just didn’t get the memo about how much better everything was for them….[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]
