Notice how "fatherless," “single mother," and “daddy issues" are used as insults toward women, even though they're all examples of a man's failures.It’s weird to assume right off the bat that a single mother failed, and default to the male parent being a good person. Fathers are far more likely to abandon their children and are the perpetrators of most domestic/sexual violence, compared to mothers. Obviously women make the same mistakes. But your logic is weird. A single parent, regardless of gender, is usually the parent who chose to stay.
The single parent wins by staying, but loses either by sleeping around senselessly or sleeping with the wrong people. In many cases it’s a preventable issue. If you actually read what I said, I never assumed right off the bat that the single mother failed. I actually said that in almost every case (the outliers would be sudden death) the father fails.
Yea but there are also plenty of people that choose to have kids because they want them, not because they think they’ll give them a good childhood. This goes for couples too. I know plenty of people that rushed into having kids because they want to be young parents and a little more in touch per se— not realizing how much money kids cost. Plenty of people in my area working fast food jobs, living in trailer parks, who just keep popping out more kids when they can’t afford the ones they have
