Your comments drip with naivety but, by accident I think, ends up being correct.Thank all of you who participated in the discussion of dinging males for fathering children out of wedlock. Frankly, in my experience, that is a rather rare occurrence unless the state actually requires it for public assistance. But still.
Fathering children out of wedlock is not at all rare. 40% of all children born in the United States were fathered out of wedlock. For black children, 70% were fathered out of wedlock.
For millennial women, the overall number is 57% fathered outside of wedlock.
Many of those are because the Government pays women to have children outside of wedlock. More babies, more money. And no accountability at all to those fathers, if the mother even knows who the father is. So, you're probably right that welfare is a driver for the high number but that's not "rare unless". Your "unless" is more likely the norm and, in any case, it is absolutely not rare, welfare or not.
