I read this book, but I don't think it was for me. I don't recommend it tbh. For example, this book is against no fault divorce, but perhaps divorce isn't bad if your spouse refuses to reproduce; however, perhaps there's a natalist take. Perhaps(I didn't verify this idea) divorced people have less children. Perhaps it's hard to find a spouse again, to continue reproducing so perhaps divorce shouldn't be so easy after all. I think the key though is to directly support the birth rate. But this logic also applies to why cohabiting isn't good because as the book says they have less children. After all, the book says the purpose of marriage is reproduction: "Children are the first end, or purpose, of marriage." Maybe marriage is good after all. But I don't think so.
Fatherlessness is one of the things the book is against, but I don't really agree. Maybe fatherlessness is natalist.
This book is against gay marriage. I realized gay marriage might be good because it may increase demand for commercial surrogacy's legalization, which is the only way incels can reproduce.
This book says family is the bulwark of liberty, but I think it didn't explain it well. I had to think about it myself. Obviously prisoners have no liberty and fatherless men are more likely to commit crime(which are probably victimless anyway) and go to jail. If liberty means libertarianism, well, fatherless people are more likely to be on welfare, which libertarians are against. One of the authors in an article says the family is where the communist principle(to each according to his needs) is fulfilled.
One of the weakest points in this book is its wording. It brings up the fact that Emile Durkheim said parents are less likely to commit suicide, but it words it oddly: "In the classic 1897 study Le Suicide, sociologist Emile Durkheim tied the 'social integration' promoted by marriage and the presence of children to low suicide rates." Maybe I'm not good at comprehension, but it sounds too vague though I wouldn't be surprised if presence of children generally does reduce suicide.
Another odd quote is this one: "Looking at Jefferson and his fellow Virginians, though, Lewis emphasizes that "'it was within the family circle that men and women told each other to look for happiness, and there, if anywhere, that they found it.'" it seems to be a typo, why does it have the word "that?" This is one of the most interesting quotes though. It's about the meaning of "pursuit of happiness."
One of the interesting things in this book is its call for a "family wage." Here's a quote: "For example, the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1934 codified wage scales that paid men up to 30 percent more than women for the same work and that affirmed sex-defined job categories ('men’s jobs' and 'women’s jobs') with even larger pay differentials." I think high wages cause unemployment though, but I'm not sure.
The author is against day care even though that's more cost efficient than staying at home, in theory at least.
