This is the day after celebrating the biological imperative of the female human. A pointless materialistic ritual, engendering all that is truly fucked up about our society. The nuclear family has been systematically destroyed.
We glorify motherhood, which is an amazing thing, but coupled in with that is single motherhood. Single mothers are seen as these amazing things, that accomplish so very much. That is complete and total bullshit! Without daddy government there to take care of these “amazingly strong” and yet totally irresponsible females, they wouldn’t be doing “so amazingly well”. Some do well, despite the setback but exceptions only prove the rule.
Now don’t get me wrong, I understand things happen, abusive relationships and people just don’t work together, but that is no reason for these irresponsible whores to go around fucking and getting knocked up by all of these piece of shit guys, just because their libido and prefrontal cortex says “YES!” Decisions result in action(s), result in consequences of chosen action(s). By no means am I championing abortion, that is just shirking responsibility for one’s actions and destroying an innocent life in the process. Choices, we all have them and make them day after day.
I appreciate mothers and love mine through and through. This is not a religiosity inspired post either, just a fact based assertion. Kids from fatherless homes have the deck stacked against them, statistically.
Instead of championing and glorifying single motherhood, perhaps we should inform little girls of the shit show it is and causes:
FATHERLESS STATS
1. 23.6% of US children (17.4 million) lived in father absent homes in 2014.

2. In 2011, children living in female-headed homes with no spouse present had a poverty rate of 47.6%. This is over four times the rate for children living in married couple families.

3. A study of 1,397,801 infants in Florida evaluated how a lack of father involvement impacts infant mortality. A lack of father involvement was linked to earlier births as well as lower birth weights. Researchers also found that father absence increases the risk of infant mortality, and that the mortality rate for infants within the first 28 days of life is four times higher for those with absent fathers than those with involved fathers. Paternal absence is also found to increase black/white infant mortality almost four-fold.

4. A study of 263 13- to 18-year-old adolescent women seeking psychological services found that the adolescents from father-absent homes were 3.5 times more likely to experience pregnancy than were adolescents from father-present homes. Moreover, the rate of pregnancy among adolescents from fatherabsent homes was 17.4% compared to a four (4) percent rate in the general adolescent population.

5. A study of 1,618 Latina high school students found that lower perceived father support is a predictor of suicidal ideation and behavior.

6. Disengaged and remote interactions of fathers with infants is a predictor of early behavior problems in children and can lead to externalizing behaviors in children as early as age 1.

7. Researchers using secondary data from the Interuniversity Consortium for Political and Social Research examined gun carrying and drug trafficking in young men, linking father absence to the likelihood of engaging in these behaviors. Results from a sample of 835 juvenile male inmates found that father absence was the only disadvantage on the individual level with significant effects on gun carrying, drug trafficking, and co-occurring behavior. Individuals from father absent homes were found to be 279% more likely to carry guns and deal drugs than peers living with their fathers.

8. A study of the relationship between father absence and lower educational attainment for African American females found that a longer duration of father absence is a predictive factor for lower educational success. Researchers discovered that longer duration of father absence often leads to lower income and family economic stress, which puts young women at risk for lower educational achievement.

9. Children with negative attitudes about school and their teachers experienced avoidance and ambivalence with their fathers. On the other hand, children with a secure attachment to their father and whose father was involved had a higher academic self-concept. The father-child attachment was more associated with the child’s social-emotional school outcomes than their academic achievement.

10. Father involvement is related to positive cognitive, developmental, and socio-behavioral child outcomes, such as improved weight gain in preterm infants, improved breastfeeding rates, higher receptive language skills, and higher academic achievement.

11. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the number of children with an incarcerated father grew 79% between 1991 and 2007. Black fathers accounted for nearly half (46%) of all children with an incarcerated father.

12. Fifty-five (55.2) percent of WIC recipients are raised by single-mothers, 48.2% of all Head Start recipients are from father-absent homes, and 37% of public assistance and Section 8 housing are female-headed households.

Clearly, there’s not a whole lot there to cheer or be happy about, regardless of the feminist delusion.
