There are a lot of things going on in the world at the same time. Family size has trended down in developed countries. This has a significant impact on social fabric. My father was one of five kids. My mother was one of twelve. I was one of three and had an aunt with four children who lived nearby. So I had many, many aunts, uncles and cousins. In contrast, me and my siblings all have only one or two kids apiece and it does not provide the same social fabric. Women in particular are facing radically different roles in life and often have relatively few good role models for the kind of life they need to somehow create for themselves. I find their tactic of talking about preponderance of the evidence versus beyond a shadow of a doubt annoying. It's a strong arm tactic trying to force their position on other people and I find that objectionable on the face of it. Having said that, when they were adolescents my sons inherited an old phone of mine when I upgraded. It had one use: to let them go where they wanted at the mall and I could call them and say "Hey, I'm ready to go now" or whatever. They might want to beef up their investigation into "Why girls?" rather than harp so much on "We should be allowed to cram our policies down your throats with merely the preponderance of the evidence. It's not like this is a criminal trial." Yeah, buddy, you want to dictate to me how to raise my kids, you better have more compelling evidence than a criminal trial. Provide better info and best practices, not a desperate plea to be allowed to "win" this argument with a less stringent standard of evidence. Geez.
