With a

look at culture from a Christian worldview, I'm John Stone Street with the point.

Recently in the Atlantic, Brad Wilcox noted that those who are most likely to

condemn the traditional family as being outdated and patriarchal are those least likely to take their own advice.

As Wilcox put it, Western elites tend to talk left but walk right.

Though quick to complain about restrictions that marriage brings to sexual freedom, these often highly successful

people tend to get married, after getting an education and before having children.

In other words, they don't preach what they practice.

They have the socioeconomic luxuries of being able

to escape the consequences of their own bad ideas about marriage, Wilcox argued, but the poor

cannot. Instead, they are disproportionately the victims of the bad ideas, of those who often

wish to help them. But if the elites really wanted to help them, what they would encourage

those less fortunate to do is what they do, not what they say.
