You write, “All you need is a baby at 16 by some guy you don’t know. The state will provide you with a nice, well appointed house, free healthcare, a child allowance and a steady income.”

And the guy will be forced to pay her child support for the next 18 to 21 years of his life. There are even cases in the US where statutory rape victims are forced to pay child support to their rapists once they come of age.

I agree with you that the dependency culture is doing damage but it seems unrealistic in the short run to end the welfare state.

Some easy fixes will blunt some of the worst effects of matriarchy.

For example, split the single parent family payment evenly between separated mothers and fathers.

Mandate 50/50 joint custody of children in the event of separation or divorce.

Allow paternal abortion where the father has a 19 week window to decide whether he wants to be the father or not once he’s informed that a child is his. Even if the child is biologically his, he should be given a time period to decide whether to take on the responsibility of raising the child. (Which often in the modern age means just being the wallet. Talk about objectification!).

Mandate a DNA test at birth to determine who the biological father and biological mother are. No man should be forced to raise a child that is not biologically his.

Family courts made open and accountable. Rulings of judges are subject to scrutiny. Judges are subject to impeachment if found to be applying faulty reasoning.

All the above will give psychopathic mothers a moment of pause should they wish to use their own children as weapons of war.

Men have a biological imperative to pass on their own genes much like women do. It therefore follows that men should have reproductive choice and reproductive rights on a par with women.
