Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The status is NOT quo.

This seems like it might be an interesting read. [link]
The paradox is this: Cultural conservatives revel in condemning the loose moral values and louche lifestyles of "San Francisco liberals." But if you want to find two-parent families with stable marriages and coddled kids, your best bet is to bypass Sarah Palin country and go to Nancy Pelosi territory: the liberal, bicoastal, predominantly Democratic places that cultural conservatives love to hate.
...
Naomi Cahn and June Carbone -- family law professors at George Washington University and the University of Missouri (Kansas City), respectively -- suggest that the apparent paradox is no paradox at all. Rather, it is the natural consequence of a cultural divide that has opened wide over the past few decades and shows no sign of closing. To define the divide in a sentence: In red America, families form adults; in blue America, adults form families.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Interesting thesis, Hil. It makes sense to me on first reflection.

The paradox is this . . .
I would think that blue state populations just marry later, so there is less change to upset the marriage.

Yeah.
Personally, I can't imagine starting a family at, say, age 18. When I was 18, my girlfriend told me she wanted to get married. Thing I didn't say: "Are you insane?" What I did say, "Maybe I'll consider it when we're out of college."
