For fucks sake, I'm so very over conservatives trying to tell me that the decline of the nuclear family is a sign of increasing moral decay and trying to prop it up as the most basic of familial units, when the nuclear family as we know it is a familial construct built up as the norm only over the last 100 years. Multi-generational and/or mixed-family households are the more traditional family model across multiple human societies in history and provide more support and stability over the nuclear family. That simple fact aside, the rise of open sexuality has not killed the nuclear family (cis-het people getting married and having kids are still the majority. Persecution complex please leave), and it wasn't open sexuality that killed the nuclear families of me or any of my peers, it was economic pressure and the societal expectation to get married and have children at a young age before either person really knew who they were or what they wanted, leading to an unstable family life, resentment, hatred, trauma, then divorce.
I'm not interested in understanding your opinion. I was raised religious, and much of my family remains conservative. I saw what it did to my family, and to the families around me. I lived that life already and i would like the world to be better after I leave it.
Nevertheless, it remains the answer to the question that was posed. Essentially: why does so much of society seem to care more about sex than violence?
It's not surprising that there's a visceral knee-jerk reaction to the notion. I understand. As mentioned above, the popular mainstream opinion believes otherwise and challenging that belief can be scary to one's identity.
