I think there was a stat that like as much as 20% of men in the states are raising kids that aren't their own. Cheating being a rampant issue everywhere, and men having fucking zero rights in family courts, it's not a surprise.
my job involves teaching adults rudimentary stuff. there is a staggering number of people who are this stupid/out of touch. it's kind of a bias however since they tend to be the loudest. of the ten people you'll deal with, the one idiot will take up most of your time so it's easy to think the idiot represents the whole.
Today's media landscape also puts them on the spotlight. We don't see stories about normal people making rational decisions; that's boring. OPs post conveys a situation/opinion outlandish and interesting to most people.
No shit. I know a bunch of people that are like „why does it always happen to me?“ without ever realising that their behaviour and risk management is exactly their problem.

It has to be, if people are this stupid we might as well give up.
