I was responding to this glorification of the increasing number of people achieving single woman status... >>>"As people achieve freedom and self actualization (read mostly women), more and more are choosing to live alone...."<<< Thirty-seven percent of families led by single mothers nationwide live in poverty. Comparatively, only 6.8 percent of families with married parents live in poverty, according to data from 2009 compiled by the Heritage Foundation. I don't see the connection to war statistics. >>"Steven Pinker in his book the nature of our better angels says this is the most peaceful time in all of history. Anthropologists guess 25% of all people died in war over the last 10,000 years. Education brings peace like nothing else."<< The dire effects related to destruction of marriage and family and the loss of kinship culture are serious and have far reaching consequences. Not only are the victimization statistics through the roof but the culture of poverty and violence will effect generations as the children's children's children of these poor women experience the consequences. • 63 percent of suicides nationwide are individuals from single-parent families. • 75 percent of children in chemical dependency hospitals are from single-parent families. • More than half of all youths incarcerated in the U.S. lived in one-parent families as a child. California is a hot spot for domestic and international human trafficking because of its large population, international borders, large economy, extensive ports, and metropolitan regions. The average entry age of American minors into the sex trade is 12-14 years old. Many victims are runaway girls who have already suffered sexual abuse as children. California harbors 3 of FBI’s 13 highest child sex trafficking areas in the nation: Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego. Foreign nationals are also brought into the U.S. as slaves for labor or commercial sex through force or fraud. The prevalence and anonymity of the internet has fueled the rapid growth of sex trafficking, making the trade of women and children easier than ever before.
