The Left Brainwashed Young Women To Want Stuff And A Career Over A Husband And FamilyBy: Breccan F. Thies

By having fewer children, the left will lose political power and the ability to shape the future of society with their preferences.
The American left has a “family problem” in which an increasing number of liberal young adults, particularly women, are not interested in getting married and having children.
According to a new report from the Institute for Family Studies (IFS), liberal young women are not only less likely to be interested in getting married and having children, but also growing increasingly left-wing, which perpetuates their anti-family tendencies.
“The United States is witnessing a ‘closing of the American heart’ where fewer young men and women are getting married and having children, but this decline is especially precipitous for those on the Left,” report co-author Brad Wilcox, Professor of Sociology at the University of Virginia and Senior Fellow at IFS, said. “This ideological divide in family formation is important for two reasons: liberal young adults are happier when they are married with children, and we’re seeing Blue states lose ground, family-wise, to Red states in the number of kids who will lead a progressive future.”
The report shows that the percentage of conservative and liberal women between the age of 25 and 35 who have ever been married has dropped precipitously since the 1980s. While conservative women fell from 83 percent to 60 percent, liberal women dropped from 75 percent to 44 percent.
The percentage of liberal women in the same age range who had ever has children dropped from 60 percent to 40 percent since the 1980s, while conservative women actually achieved an uptick, from 65 percent to 71 percent.
The results are driven in large part by anti-family content from the left.
