re: #55 allegro

I actually get some of what he’s talking about having grown up during those “glory” days (for those of us with white skin) of the 50s-60s but find his belief that contraception is the cause of the destruction of family life bizarre. IMO it was home electronics - teevee in every room and video games.

I think contraception is the main factor for reduced average family size (i.e., quantity). Other social changes have more of an effect on family stability etc. (i.e., quality).

Naturally a meathead like Dreher will conflate quantity and quality to blame everything on contraception.
