The Death of the West: How Dying Populations and Immigrant Invasions Imperil Our Country and Civilization

This system fell apart in the 1960s, when feminists managed to add “sex” to the discriminations forbidden by the sweeping Civil Rights Act of 1964, which had been written to protect the rights of African Americans. This turned the new Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) into a siege gun against the family wage. “Men Wanted” ads were declared discriminatory and outlawed. Gender equality replaced “moral contract.” The rights of individuals took precedence over the requirements of family. Women’s pay soared, and as women began moving into occupations that had been largely restricted to men—medicine, law, the media, the academy, the upper bureaucracy, and business—families began to crumble.
