Charles Murray has been blogging on this and will present the data soon.<br /><br />You can't force women to get married, the data suggests that women won't marry unless the guy has a huge premium over her in status/power/wealth.<br /><br />Women have their freedom, and are largely rejecting marriage.<br /><br />The nuclear family is dead, it's true that single motherhood is a disaster, but we cannot prevent short of forcing most women to marry, which is simply not possible. Most women would prefer to play the field in their twenties, build their career in their early thirties, and have one designer eugenic yuppie baby in their late thirties if they are middle class. If they are working class, have several kids by different, exciting bad boy fathers.<br /><br />This is social reality. We will just have to cope with the current system, including the collapse of male nerd-dom, since bad boys of average IQ get rewarded and those of nerdy persuasion with high IQs get punished in the sexual and mating marketplace.Whiskeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01854764809682029464noreply@blogger.com
