There are plenty of scenarios where that's a completely reasonable argument. How many times has the black community called something out as ignorant and tribal, only to have some random white dude swoop in and explain to actual black people why X isn't offensive to blacks? If you really think about it, that's kind of stupid, right? Like a dude lecturing to women about why labor pains aren't so bad.
Great, who cares what offends who.
Offense is always taken, never given.
And besides, that's neither here nor there in politics, what really is stupid is that we've gotten to the point that feelings have taken over basic reasoning in politics at all.
I mean, it's obvious to anyone that having a kid at age 16, out of wedlock, will fast-track you to a stuffty life. But advertising 'marriage' as the be-all-end-all solution seems suspicious. For one, even if you create a society that pressures teen parents to get married, they can still divorce. They probably will, actually, if their entire marriage is founded on a prom-night-quickie in the back of a Chevy. The problem isn't the fact that they're unwed, it's the fact they had a kid to begin with.
Solution: Use a god damn condom that hasn't been in your wallet for five years, or don't have love.
ffs it's not that damn hard. The other 2% of condom uses that "fail" almost always are due to the fact the condom expired.
Notice that the article doesn't make even a cursory mention of comprehensive love education, contraceptives, or any other common-sense solutions to teen pregnancy. The only advice it really gives is, "don't get knocked up, and if you do, get married."
Now this, this is handicapped.
How about, if you don't want the damn kid, here's a nine letter word that helps anyone in this situation.
"ADOPTION"
Ya don't need to get married on a whim only for the relationship to fall to shred in the next decade or so.
forgetin' hell.
Also, unless it's rape, not getting pregnant is easily avoidable, here's how:
Don't have love.
