World Divorce Rates "The US began keeping fairly careful statistics on divorce beginning in 1867. From 1867-1929, the number of divorces steadily increased, from 9,937 in 1867, to 201,468 in 1929." During this time, the population of the US increased from 37 to 122 million, so the divorce rate per 100,000 population increased six fold, from 26.8 to 165 The US has the world's highest divorce rate, bar none--twice as high as the next highest country (Sweden) and 50 times higher than some countries.

It increased 50 fold since the feminists met in Seneca Falls, 40% in just one year in California, it paralleled a four fold increase in federal spending as a percent of GDP, & it gave us the world's highest incarceration rate

Professor John Lott proved that the Nineteenth Amendment is the sole reason for the "unexplained" rapid growth of government which destabilized families and increased divorce and illegitimacy.

Each 100 additional divorces worldwide causes two additional suicides, one additional murder, 6 additional rapes, 33 additional armed robberies, and puts another 100 men in prison.

Twelve scholarly studies prove that divorce increases the premature mortality rates of fathers, mothers, and the children of divorce.

It is feminists and public servants who are morally responsible for this reprehensible social policy. Source: http://www.members.xoom.com/fmanifesto/divorceworld.xls

Many anthropologists now reject the claims of Lewis MORGAN and others that early society was matriarchal, although some contemporary feminists have theorized that a primitive matriarchy once existed. Claims for such a matriarchy are based largely on research on societies in which women are the major contributors to subsistence, on societies with matrilineal descent, and on myths of ancient female rule. Such societies and myths have many aspects, however, that cast doubt on the validity of the claims. Most anthropologists have also concluded that patriarchy, or male dominance, is not natural or biological but culturally constructed because of the diverse forms it takes across cultures.

pa·tri·ar·chy (p³“tr¶-är”k¶)n. pl. pa·tri·ar·chies



1. A social system in which the father is the head of the family and descent is traced through the father's side of the family.



2. A family, community, or society based on this system or governed by men. Also Called patriarchate. One reason matriarchies don't survive is because societies can't afford to operate them. Already, US Public Debt, which was non-existent prior to the rise of feminism, is almost more than GDP. Year Public Debt Billions of Dollars GDP Less Public Debt Billions of Dollars 1870 2.4 1880 2 1890 1.1 1900 1.2 1910 1.1 1920 24 1930 16 The Decline of Patriarchy Begins in Earnest Here 1940 43 1950 256 30 1960 284 231 1970 370 645 1980 908 1,824 1990 3,233 2,334 2000 5,800 3,000 2005 8,000 2,000 At current rates of growth, Public Debt will exceed GDP by 5 fold in 34 years. But current Congressional debates will increase this RATE of growth. If we can find a matriarchal society which has proven to be a workable system, then let's continue our experiment with it. But if we can't, then isn't it time to end this costly venture? For the sake of our children, for the survival of our economy, and for the fathers whose children need them, it is time to put an end to "victim ideology", and demand that the "father" be placed back in the "family". The high US divorce rate is the crowning achievement of feminism, the "right to commit adultery", an abomination before God US government spending already exceeds the combined federal spending of France, Germany, England, Spain, Italy, Japan, China, Taiwan, Singapore, Korea, Russia, Sweden, & Australia. A review and analysis of the skyrocketing US divorce rate, parallelling a corresponding increase in government spending as a percent of GDP, and a chronic drop in education and economic standing and quality suggests that US social policy needs a radical correction. As the US divorce rate climbed, government spending exceeded the combined federal spending of France, Germany, England, Spain, Italy, Japan, China, Taiwan, Singapore, Korea, Russia, Sweden, & Australia. The combined GDPs of those countries are 37% higher than the US.

Their combined population is 6.6 times greater than the US.

The proportion of a Californian's income spent for government is 40% higher than for the Japanese.

The proportion of a Californian's income spent for government is 2.2 times higher than for the Germans..

While the percent of GDP spent for government increased more than 3 fold since the turn of the century, the divorce rate increased 10 fold. Why Fatherhood?
