> Absent fathers and broken family units are major factors for many social ills. It’s obvious but no one wants to talk about it.

This is just not true. It's almost constantly talked about, it's even a trope in movies, jokes, singers saying about it.

What is really not discussed is the other side of the equation. Who chooses those men?

Are women equally capable to make moral choices (I believe they are). Or are they just kind-of-sentient robots that are programmed to have kids, will grab any man that will make them pregnant and deserve only compassion when that "random choice" does not turn out to be a good dad?

I think (in terms of culture) this is closer (than what the author claims) to the truth: Complain about men not pulling their weight. Never mention women responsibility. It's taboo to discuss it openly in a good faith. So now we have a fringe claiming men are only victims of women evil, which is another side of this stupid-coin. We can't meet in the middle anymore.
