illegitimacy rates around the world

[EvilBaga]

Unless you look like Brad Pitt, a good indication of how good the life of a male can be in a country is the illegitimacy rate.

I presume there aren't any manginas reading this - so the assumption behind it is illegitimacy is largely caused by women acting hypergamously, not men acting callously. So if the rate is lower - men have more power in that society because if they didn't - women would leave 80% of them in the dusk and be the harem of the most attractive 20% thereby raising the illegitimacy rate.

Thanks for posting this - by the gods, that second graphic is surely a disaster in the making. Fatherless children are uniformly and consistently worse off by scores of measures: emotional health, self-control, criminality, school grades, high school completion, college attendance, etc. See,

Between the next generation being damaged goods and the crushing tax weight of retirement benefits for old-heavy populations, OECD countries are going to have a helluva time in the next few decades.

The break up of the family has occurred thanks largely to feminism and "give-me" attitude of girls. I don't know why a man would bother to marry a western girl.
