Dude, I consider myself a TERF, “trans exclusionary radical feminist” and your veiws aren’t “too extreme” for me.
Birth control has only been around for about seven decades and it was like a “bomb”(I’m speaking metaphorically, FBI reading this) to the fabric of society.
I believe in liberty for all, so the term “enforce” gets me itchy. I might have some disagreements with you in terms of a plan, but I don’t see your views in any way as “too extreme.”
I used to be socially liberal but not enforcing public morals is what got us into the mess we see today.
I think the Christians are right about "man's fallen nature". Humans are predisposed to all sorts of bad behavior and need external accountability to keep them on the right path.
Rousseau said "man is born free but everywhere he is in chains".
De Maistre replied "Yep, man is evil and must be chained."
It doesn't necessarily have to be from the government it could be from social shaming.
For example in East Asia fat shaming is the norm and they have lower rates of obesity than the West. As for myself I was bullied in middle school for being kinda fat and while it sucked at the time I responded by going to the gym and getting fit and those habits stuck with me into adulthood. The pain of having my feelings hurt and ostracization inspired me to make the necessary positive changes to conform with the social standards.
If we did the same thing to people who divorce frivolously or irresponsibly have children out of wedlock then we'd see less of those behaviors.
