Baby Mama Drama

I recently read a piece asking the question of why women today seem to "get with" the wrong guy. Is it their desire to fix the "bad boy"? Is it a mass deterioration in the ability for women to recognize a jackass when they see one? Probably not. In fact, it's probably got a much more simple reasoning behind it. One of the major reasons was the introduction and use of birth-control into society. Before the pill was introduced, most, if not all, women had to be careful who they took to bed because they would more than likely end up pregnant. Thus, speaking in terms of economics, it forced women to pick men who could provide for a potential family. Today, with the mass use of the pill, women don't need to select men on this basis and can find other reasons to "get with" somebody. Further, with the mobilization of women in the workforce and the easier it is for them to provide, it has become less of an issue for men to provide for women. This, in my opinion, is why you see a lot of single mothers. The attempt to rangle in the "bad boy" winds up creating problems and the ultimate seperation of the would-be father. Do I advocate getting rid of birth-control? Hell no. I just think men and women need to start being more responsible as to whom they "get with" rather than doing such activity so cavalierly.
