I have published a post and yet it is nowhere to be found, meditate on this I will.
I'll now recap, as I'm not able to recreate what once was. What I was referring to in my post about family was bad parenting, brought on by the civil rights movement. Ever since women started working we've seen a decline in childhood education and adult self-reliance. The problem is not the rights that women now bare, but the father's inability to pick up the slack. Unless there is only one parent, but that is a completely different problem altogether.
It's commonplace to see mothers as successful people i.e. business associates, leaders, doctors, food practitioners, lawyers, politicians, in other words those in high power that oversee life. But we don't see men doing what is needed in the home to compensate; men still seem to think it's the 50's where they can show up from "a long days work" and demand dinner. Many families are resorting to TV dinners, fast food or take-out, still wondering why the family doesn't get along, or their kids are messed up in some way.
Who do we blame? Of course we have to blame someone because even accidents have a guilty party and someone is always responsible for natural disasters, why not this? Is it the parents, the teachers or what about society, that's it, "they" did it, whoever "they" are, dang, I really hate "those guys" whoever they are... I'll tell you why we don't need to "blame" someone. Playing the blame game doesn't solve the problem, get on with your life and stop blaming everyone else, get off your ass, get a job, take the kids to soccer, make dinner, wash your clothes, do whatever needs to be done and stop waiting around; I almost forgot the most important thing, wake-the-fuck-up.
I think that was the jist of the post, although it may have been more thought provoking; it also had the image in the original, peculiar...
Here's an article that argues the opposite: Submission Needed for Healthy Marriage
