I think Dads bring at least structure and order,
As long as the kid doesn't starve or get caught in farm equipment, I'd bet he comes out better able to deal with life.
If he gets through those first 10 years, which I bet 50-100 years ago would have been MUCH lower %
lmao
ye I guess
But to tack onto your point
I know it's anecdotal, but I look at my mother, for one, to see that feminism has just outright lied to these girls
ie girls of our generation (I assume we're around the same age?) and younger
Yeah I'm 35-40
The message is build a career, _then_ a family
Grew up listening to NPR with big happy stars in my eyes.
Ah you're a bit older than I am
but yeah, still applies I think
The thing I've seen working has been build a family, _and then_ a career
Oh its just gotten worse.
Cause I mean... wouldn't it make sense to have the kids grow up _before_ you devote yourself to working?
The message is somehow guys who work ARENT building a family.
Thats idiotic, men want a family as much as anyone, they work because thats what they're good at.
So that the interruption of being pregnant and giving birth and raising a kid doesn't come _while_ you're working?
it just boggles my mind
I've told my spawn if she has plans of having kids to have them early
Plus you can do the motherhood thing when you have tons of energy and can stay up all night.
We (as in my family) will support her if/when it comes to that
But no shit outside of wedlock ~~like what daddy did~~
How did you end up a single dad?
cause I will murder the cunt who does
Uhhhh long story short is teenage pregnancy, gf wanted to abort, I said no, so she fucked off into the distance
left me with this bundle of miracles
Interesting!
Did you raise her with family support?
I think a good family support structure for raising a kid is massively important.
Yeah, mostly from my mother though
which I'll always be grateful for
Also, yeah
The problem I have with leftists is like
and this goes to welfare as well
The whole idea of "it takes a village" isn't necessarily wrong
It's just that they look at it and take all the wrong lessons from it
Back when that proposal was valid, the village was basically your extended family
You shared goals and values, and you knew what was expected of you
