So it's a bad deal all around for the kids. And while there are exceptions, the studies have all been done and repeatedly replicated that show that's the statistical norm.

Re: Marriage and Family
More holes than Swiss cheese. Where's the critical thinking? Everything is so black and white to you. It doesn't even make logical sense. What you are talking about isn't mothers--it's scummy lowlifes. Do you seriously believe that just because a woman doesn't have a ''morally upstanding''(whatever the fuck THAT means, but it sounds icky) husband then it makes her into a neglectful, drug-addled, moronic scumbag who doesn't give a shit about her children? There is never a shortage of 'male rold models' in those unfortunate children's lives...Immanuel Can wrote: ↑Mon Aug 23, 2021 8:35 pmYep.Gary Childress wrote: ↑Mon Aug 23, 2021 9:28 am And if a child is brought up in a home without love and devotion, that child may develop in ways that preclude love and devotion in their own adult lives with a partner.

Single mothers are everywhere, in all walks of life, and I don't know a SINGLE ONE who has been anything less than successful in bringing up her children.
What is your suggestion? Are you going to magic up perfect husbands for every woman? You really don't have a clue about life and reality.
''Self-possessed, moral, male adulthood''. Are you serious?
So, you are hate abortion, contraception, and at the same time women who bring up children without the benefit of a 'morally upstanding male'. Gee, kristians really 'are' a logical piece of work.
And stop hiding behind a ridiculously transparent 'faux concern' for children. It's just embarrassing.

It doesn't. I'm simply asking a question. Now crawl off to the other section of your web and look for something else to sink your fangs into.vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Mon Aug 23, 2021 8:01 pmWhat difference does that make?

Re: Marriage and Family
I'm asking the question because of other things that dontaskme has said... which, if you would shut the fuck up, I might get an answer to. I don't want to talk to Mr. Can right now... he is always oozing self-indulgent crap, and he's a twisted slimy phony, and I've had more than enough of him lately. I don't care what your conversation with him is... I'm not reading it.vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Tue Aug 24, 2021 12:05 amAnother woke phony. Why aren't you calling out can on his crap?

Do you know what some people say? They say women don't know the difference between a particular case and a statistical claim.vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Mon Aug 23, 2021 8:53 pm Do you seriously believe that just because a woman...
Me, I don't believe that's true. But you seem to be bolstering their case for them.
"A woman" and "the average of many women" are two quite different kinds of claim. I've said nothing whatsoever about the former. I have no idea why you have.

'Twisted, slimy phony'. That's so apt. If you spent less time getting fucked off with me and more time noticing that I admire your insight and use of language....Lacewing wrote: ↑Tue Aug 24, 2021 12:41 amI'm asking the question because of other things that dontaskme has said... which, if you would shut the fuck up, I might get an answer to.

Re: Marriage and Family
Absolutely. As a rule, I would suspect that that's not as good, though I do know a few exceptional male single parents, as well.vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Mon Aug 23, 2021 11:31 pm Do you have any problem with children being brought up by just their father?
But it doesn't happen nearly so often as single motherhood does, so that's a bit harder to prove, and studies of that are certainly less available. Courts tend automaticalliy to give small children to female custody, for one thing. And that's probably developmentally a good rule; mothers are especially urgent for young children.
What the research shows is that a healthy, loving, two-parent, and yes, heterosexual home is the ideal for children. Statistically (note: not always individually; there are rare exceptions) everything else is less desirable for the good of the kids.
And single mothers tell us that's so. They tell us every time they complain that they've got trouble and deserve special help. They tell us every time they reach for government aid that is denied to two-parent familes. And I'd wager practically all of them would gladly trade their situation for a two-loving-parent alternative, if they could get it.
Of course, some can't. The reasons vary.
