You Get What You Ask For

A community that allows a large number of young men to grow up in broken families, dominated by women, never acquiring any stable relationship to male authority, never acquiring any set of rational expectations about the future -- that community asks for and gets chaos, crime, violence, unrest, disorder...that is not only to be expected; it is very near to inevitable.


Daniel Patrick Moynihan, “Family and Nation,” p.147
