Female shame

In the past, women set the standards of morality, deserving respect and consideration, viewing love, marriage and motherhood (in that order) as worthwhile goals. Nowadays, with more and more lacking any kind of standards, responsibility and inhibitions, they are the greatest scourge that society faces.

Why should the male sex have anything but contempt for girls whose behaviour inside and out of pubs, clubs and bars would put an alley cat to shame and make the most practised prostitute look like a learner?

What really concerns me is that these awful females are the mothers of future generations. They conceive babies without thinking twice of the lifelong commitment, and yet are allowed to keep these unfortunates in deprivation, often suffering physical, mental and emotional abuse.

It makes me so angry when the media goes on about "parents" being at fault in family breakdowns and the results on children. Most family breakdown is caused by bad mothers - children can and do recover completely from bad fathers, of which there are far fewer about, but the effects of a mother who sleeps around, and drags up her children in slovenly and violent domestic situations are with a child for life.

Why else do thousands of youngsters leave home in desperation, their lives ruined beyond repair? Governments are constantly promising to "put children first". What a load of rubbish. If we truly cared for our children, we would make it much, much harder for mothers not worthy of the name to keep babies conceived simply in lust, and who certainly do not need them, not encourage them with free housing and handouts.
