No, I'm simply pointing at the very obvious link between poverty and single parent homes. You then want to up-end that causal factor and re-frame it as single-parenting is caused by poverty. I point to historical example that shows that doesn't hold true and we end up at this point where you think access to courts is somehow the main reason why that wasn't the case in the past.
Law creation is largely reactive rather than pro-active. People like to smoke weed, government can't stop people smoking weed and is a waste of time and money, so what happens is the laws reactively get changed to reflect the updated social norms.
The laws around getting a divorce easier also were reactive in nature, something that was already happening and in demand. It's not as if women woke up one day in the 60s and said oh wow it's much easier to get a divorce now because courts have become streamlined, maybe I'll go get one. When in reality the confluence of factors (feminism, rapid expansion of welfare, the general freedom movement of the 60s with hippies and all that) is the elephant in the room that actually resulted in more single parent homes.
Regardless if laws were a reaction to something or not, that does not mean that a progressive change, as in females have an easier ability to separate out of relationships they don't want because men can't be the ultimate ruler of females which I think the vast majority of people can agree is a progressive change for the better did not result in an increase in divorce because there's easier access to it now which is my point.
You can sit all day in the camp of females having rights is a bad thing and government should have control and offer different rights based on each sex. Go for it. "Because the betterment of society". That is your stance. Unless I'm missing something that's exactly how it reads. And ofcourse your stance on welfare which if you can't see how there's a massvie shift from the 1950s manufacturing to modern day and how there's clearly a disproportionate impact on low skilled poor people I don't know what to tell you. There's lots of counter evidence out there that those growing up in a more financially secured environment which includes welfare results in statistically higher rates of success in future generations.
Sorry machines got your job and the cost of living has skyrocketed while there's no alternative for lower skilled labour. Learn to code retard! But those 1950s though! When we could work assembling a vehicle get a pension and a house for lifting a piece of metal all day. I know we have no decent jobs for you but don't you dare go committing crime now blacky!
