I don't blame if they were born after the WWII. Before that it was the exception and not the rule. Then in the fifties there was an influx of people from nationalities who never tasted freedom and who wanted to take control of everything. Two factors that was targeted to focused attack was family values and faith. Thus was unleashed the baby-boomer cultural attack. All types of weapons were used to subdue a nation to whom they all owed their lives - drugs, sex, music, art. To make sure that nobody escape this dragnet, carefully planted academics made regular expert statements with scientific proof that it was all normal. If that failed they sought refuge under the sixth amendment or called their opponents - communists. Yeah, ex-communists calling others communists. To make it short, long-held values were uprooted and a new culture was planted in their place.
But having outlined the historical perspective, I am not going to escape responsibility by blaming the perpetrators. It was my duty to say no when such tricks were played on me. As a male I have no qualms in admitting that part of the blame has to be borne by males too. If I can shirk my filial and paternal responsibilities at the sight of another face, why should any woman have faith in me?
Any way, we cannot change the past. Only through concerted effort of males and females in restoring trust in relationships can we move forward. Blaming games will only increase the number of single parents and abused children in our community. Sorry to be so blunt, but somebody has to talk.
