Dear Feminists: In The Name Of Fighting Poverty, Can We Call A Truce About Marriage? http://onforb.es/VyPNNt via @forbes
@carriesheffield poverty and the gutting if the middle class wrecked the family, not the other way around
-
-
@ryangrim then why did family formation decline even in periods of economic boom for all classes? -
@carriesheffield bc the collapse of the middle class is a long term trend not undone by a few ticks up -
@ryangrim middle class families still getting married, problem is low-income families dissolved Why intact despite Great Depression? Culture -
@carriesheffield wouldn't your theory predict the opposite? Feminism is more popular with the middle class and rich than poor -
@ryangrim What drove removal of stigma associated with unwed births? The feminist movement. Low-income kids suffer thx to Feminine Mystique. -
@carriesheffield why doesn't your reasoning apply to the rich then? -
@ryangrim Low-income ppl less economic incentive to get married under welfare regime, which subsidizes cycle of poverty. Richer ppl don't.
