This article is no more about Adam and Eve than it is about rabbits. You can choose to read “Adam and Eve” in the above text as figurative of early humans if you like without changing the message here.
The underlying thought behind the original post is that our culture is glorifying the single bachelor’s lifestyle and creating an environment that is increasingly antagonistic towards the traditional family. If a person doesn’t want to have kids, fine, they probably shouldn’t. But it bugs me that the aforementioned lifestyle is raised up while the familial lifestyle is portrayed as a necessary drudgery.
Yes, I know, you’d really have to read between the lines to see that in there.
But think for a moment about the movies and tv shows you’ve seen recently. What is the image portrayed of single adults? Sexy, modern, intelligent, well dressed, wealthy… What is the image portrayed of fathers? Disconnected, exasperated, ineffective, overwhelmed… which would you want to be?
