1. It finally strikes me that it’s pointless to have children or to get married. All the women in my social class earn more than me, or have been so hopelessly damaged by abortion & multiple relationships (usually both) that it’s a useless enterprise.

Have faith. There are a few aspiring traditional mothers out there who aren't stupid.

If you think a single girl in Britain has made it to 30 as a virgin then you are slightly deluded. “Traditional” is a misnomer. It has been in collapse for about 500 years. It always depended on external sanctions, which were largely shot away by 1850, nevermind 2018.

Then don't marry a 30 year old whose ova are mostly degraded if they've not been used up already. Marry a younger woman, from a family that's taught her that she needs to marry earlier if she wants to maximise her chances of a decent family life. (1/2)

I guess it would be easier for me, coming from the shi'i community rather than from the indigenous, overall post/semi-christian society, where unmarried chastity is at a much lower level, for various reasons, some good and some bad. (2/2)

1. I think the idea that “trad” groups (Sikh, Muslim) are not affected is a myth. Tinder is full of girls in hijabs, I was propositioned by a married Muslim woman in a bar the other day, & I’ve encountered young girls “on the run” for having boyfriends outside their religions.

2. The girls are probably better at hiding at what htye’re up to. I suppose, yes, some of them get beaten up or sent home to be sorted out. I think, by and large, modernity permeates everything. Often families are use better at having blind eyes.
