Italian Births at Lowest Level
February 21, 2020
FROM Lifesite News:
Italian-American Beverly Stevens, editor of Regina magazine, told LifeSiteNews that the sexual revolution is to blame for the low Italian birth rate.
“It’s a perfect storm, aimed straight at the heart of the Great Italian Bulwark, la famiglia (the family),” she said via social media.
“It started when the sexual revolution legitimized male philandering. Suddenly, wives found themselves outclassed by girlfriends and divorced,” she continued.
“This destabilized the next generation, depriving boys of role models and hardening girls’ hearts.”
Stevens said that contemporary Italian women believe “fervently” in a feminism that has doomed them to unstable marriages or living alone.
“And their men protest the fact that they are alone on Christmas in Rome’s piazzas because the ex won’t allow them access to their kids,” she added.
“Nobody wins. Families fail to form. Italians strive endlessly to show a ‘bella figura’ (beautiful face, i.e. keep up appearances) as they age relentlessly, alone.”
“It’s cultural-level suicide.”
