There is a male role model in the ghettos and barrios...........its the gang member. I agree. That's why we need strict welfare policies so a working class woman will have to marry a working man instead of welfare check in order to raise her kids. And hopefully the kids will have different role model. Sounds interesting in theory.......let me know how it works out when you implement it.

In a rare moment I find myself agreeing somewhat with the position tejek has taken. We have Crossed the Rubicon on this. At one time we considered the possibility that men are not necessary (that was back when stable families were the norm), we've progressed far beyond that in defining men as brutal tyrants who abuse females and abandon children. They are the source of all unhappiness in the world. Now we are beginning to see lots of articles covering the vast single parent nightmare with children of children who've never experienced the support of family or lived in a stable model of family and home. The absence of a father in the family is seen as a real issue. However most articles on the dire condition of single parents hone in on these (men) awful catalysts to the poverty, crime, drugs and hopelessness experienced by single parents who are unable to raise well balanced productive children. A real dilemma for women. We have been marketing the successful image of a woman as an independently successful creature now for half a century. We've also burned bridges to any reconciliation with traditional men (providing and protective). Men attempting to grow wealth are greedy bastages; men who are protective are macho pigs. Before you can expect women to willingly marry up with some Snidely Whiplash asshole to pay her way, you are going to have to market a whole new positive attitude toward him as a Niceguy... and a relationship with him as a provider who is protective as a complimentary and pleasing scenario. Good luck.
