[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My guess is there has always been a shortage, but now women don’t need to rely on a man to survive. Easier to work than be married to a loser. [/quote]

Yes women don't need a man to survive or even raise a child.[/quote]

But studies have shown the benefits to the child from a loving and involved relationship with his/her father.[/quote]

Aren't there recent studies that show that children (boys and girls) raised by single dads do better in life than children raised by single moms? [/quote]

Isn't single dads still a tiny, tiny slice of the population?  Usually courts side with moms or with joint custody, no?

I read a few years ago that single-dad headed households are the fastest growing household type in the country.

Yes, sure enough: 16 percent of single-parent households are headed by a single father (up from 12 percent a decade ago). So it looks like several million households with children are headed by a single dad.

One interesting difference between single moms and single dads: nearly all single dads are divorced men, while the majority of single moms were never married.
