For those of you who believe that single motherhood is a serious problem that needs to addressed,

Are you a troll? Seriously. This has never worked anywhere it's been attempted. And has actually resulted in the death, abuse, and neglect of thousands of children. I have a feeling this is the same person over and over suggesting this or similar thoughts.

Single mothers are demonized because they are women.

If most single parents were men they would be given support and accolades.

Misogyny is a lot deeper than people realize.

This.

I think people who think like you are the ones who devalue the intelligence and ability of women to make good decisions. Why don't we encourage women to think ahead, plan, get an education, and consider the kind of person who would make a faithful, kind, stable, and loving spouse/ father of their children?

Middle class/upper middle class families have been encouraging and supporting their daughters in this regard for over a generation. And now you have a bunch of men who can't measure up and are whining about it.

This. Plus, even those whose family didn’t prepare them can read DCUM and be forewarned. Most men are not up to parenting. After careful consideration of the pool of potential fathers, many young women are either choosing not to parent or selecting motherhood by choice.

Single women with children had a median net worth of just $7,000 in 2019, compared to $65,000 for single women without children. (It was a different story for single men: Those with children sacrificed just $2,000 of their overall wealth.)

Men don’t suffer in our society.

Then why is male life expectancy lower than women? Don’t you consider sickness and death as “suffering”?

Because women are more resilient at a cellular level. One example: https://corporate.dukehealth.org/news/protected-form-cell-death-women-are-more-resilient-kidney-disease

Clearly it is part of God's plan. Like stoning adulterers, fornicators, etc.

Time for some old school Biblical justice around here.

We should use the tax code to make it easier and more lucrative for families to remain intact. Abandonment of children should be criminal, and as a society we should use social norms to shun bad fathers. It should be very difficult to shirk parental duties.

This. Why wouldn't we go after the person not taking care of children rather than the person trying to keep everything together? If the government wants men to step up and lead this nation then they actually have to do something less selfish.

It is not a woman problem, it is a deadbeat dad problem.

Let me guess. You're a "liberal" 😀🤣😂

Unlike conservatives, liberals believe in personal responsibility. That includes fathers taking responsibility for their kids.

Really? Lady, you vote for the party that glorifies fatherless upbringing!

Funny, almost every liberal I know has been in a long, happy marriage. Only exception was the Catholic aunt who divorced the abusive drug addict she had to marry when he knocked her up back in the 1980s.

The conservatives I know? Whew. Like a Springer show. Punching down is such a favored past time because their lives are such a joke. Kids are a mess. Multiple baby mammas, drugs everywhere. Real family values crowd.

Where do you live honey?

I am not this pp, but same situation. My GOP family members are all divorced and living in the deep south. Almost all now claim to be "born again" evangelical but they don't marry their midlife partners, which is just as well, because most only last for a few years before they move on. Kids are unfortunately on the same path and not inclined to marry. Fortunately family members have stayed away from drugs, but my old friends haven't been so lucky--theyvare also mostly divorced, living paycheck to paycheck, and doing drugs when they can afford them.

My sibling and I got out, went to college, became liberal democrats eventually, married our spouses in our 20s, and are still married to our original spouses 20+ years later.

PP, and same here except my family is in a declining NE town. My neighbors in my UMC, highly liberal suburb are very strong in the family values department. We don’t need to have the government force it on us because we chose it for ourselves. Apparently conservatives can’t do the right thing unless some Daddy is forcing them. Shows a real deficit of character I think.

You hit the nail on the head. They just can't seem to do it for themselves and need an authoritarian daddy to make them.

I contend that so many young men have behavioral issues because they don't have a strong male role model.

Totally agree. Crime and poverty would diminish greatly if family structure and/or family support remained in place.

Sure but what if my husband who seemed like a good guy cheats on me? I did everything right - was a virgin, got married, had a baby a few years in, stayed at home.... then he chated and it broke up our family. What consequences for him? And what consequences for the affair partner???

It is a problem. Birth control handed out like candy starting at age 17 is what I would suggest.

Divorce. He loses his partner.
