Recently came across these tweets. Often I've seen folk argue that the nuclear family structure is inherently abusive and tied to capital, while others, including these tweets, argue that biological parents are the least likely to sexually abuse, unlike that of extended families/communal rearing. Are these stats any accurate at all? Discuss.
Where's the source from?
>>2774116This is anti-stepfamily, not pro-nuclear family. It doesn't mention single mothers who don't remarry.
>>2774120Right is from research by Martin Daly and Margo Wilson, considered influential in evolutionary psychology. As for right now, I don't know. Some textbook, i assume?
Single parents should just give on forming romantic relationships. Clearly it's problematic.
Non-sequitor xeet whose source isn't actually about the nuclear family.
Also, the problem is with the concept of the family itself, not its particular arrangement/configuration.
>>2774176Why though? and what should replace it?
The problem with family abolitionists is they think abolishing it would create some kind of secular heaven as if it will abolish "abuse" or power dynamics or wathever they suffered from at their parents hand.
The ones who want to abolish parent rights because they have a new model of society in mind without the delusion they're gonna stop Pain from existing are fine but it's 1% of them today.
>>2774200Historically most people lived in multigenerational households with strong community connections among neighbours that supplemented biological family.
>>2774176The tweet is also misrepresenting what the data actually says. The text above the graph refers to physical abuse, which includes sexual abuse but also just beatings and non-sexual violence. The poster then just treats these two as equivalent.
>>2774215It's not mostly about abuse, but the fact that it's the primary mechanic for class reproduction and capital hoarding.
>>2774225That's fine. But that's not what most family abolitionists are about today tbh.
>>2774217this doesn't do anything against abuse,the social shame from having to declare it + bystander effect kill anyone willing to speak up
You don't "abolish" the family you simply dilute it through stronger connections beyond direct family. Isolation breeds dependence.
>>2774297Neither does a nuclear family.
