Yes, I really did ask this question.

I ask this question because I just don’t understand.

Life happens. I get that. Many variables create our realities and sometimes, we hit setbacks. I get that. There are times though, when setbacks are a choice.

Let me make it plain.

If you ain’t got shit, and your guy ain’t got shit … why the fuck would you have a little broke ass baby?

Did you catch that?

This isn’t the 1950s.

Marriages are not working out the way that they used to. Men are walking out on women and children with no shame. They don’t have those ol’ skool Catholic Italian homies like the ones in Goodfellas that told buddy, “you gotta go home”. They can walk the fuck out and nobody will bat an eye.

Moral sense of duty … well, what the fuck is that!?

Men are starting multiple families these days … and finishing none of them. There is always the (very) high probability that a woman will have to raise her children alone.
