America has a lot wrong with it and needs a lot of things. But one thing in short supply is fathers.

95% of mass shooters come from fatherless homes. Not sure where I read that, and feel free to fact check me, but it sounds accurate. The absence of steady male influence on young men and boys has accelerated the cultural rot in this country.

I asked this in the other thread, how many of these school shooters come from fatherless homes?

Hell, how many murderers come from fatherless homes?

How about check it yourself, before making a thread about it.

It’s not an issue of fatherhood. Any idiot can father a child. What we have is a Daddy problem. It takes a real man to be a Daddy

Fatherless homes could be discouraged by refusing to subsidize child support. If your baby daddy leaves, go find a man. The govt ain’t your man.

I think it is more of a parent crisis. A strong mother can fill the gap of a missing father. Part of the issue is that mothers let their kid do whatever they want since there is no father.

Thank a democratic voter. For over 60 years they have been dividing the family unit to keep family churn happening so they can keep voters indebted to them.

We are now seeing the fruits of this destruction.

Tell this legal system that automatically biases against men in divorces, or the welfare system that provides financial compensation for giving birth in single parent homes.

Terrible statistical reference, bead the point is dead on.

Thomas Sowell has some great stats on this, Jordan Peterson talk about this at length. Not only do we have a fatherless issue, couple it with an attack on masculinity. Add to it that we have a government that encourages the breakup of the nuclear family and encourages a fatherless relationship with the government acting as a surrogate provider.

It's a sick situation that is not being taken seriously enough. It's even more difficult when you talk to women about it and they get offended because you're challenging the narrative they've been told all of their live that they're all children need and a strong woman doesn't need a man to raise children.

We've had 50 years that proves this isn't true, at all. Stop expecting women to be men and telling them they can have it all without sacrifice.


Our biggest problem is refusing to acknowledge reality that nuclear families are by far the most effective way at raising children and stabilizing society.

For some reason we want people to become anything else but what was the arrangement for thousands of years of human existence. Spare me your historical anecdotes.

As long as the federal government keeps paying single women to have children, the problem will only get worse.

I am not doubting that at all. I also don't think kids are doomed if a father isn't present. There are tons of shitty kids with both parents present.

The simple fact is that parents dont parent like they used to.

it's more of a community crisis IMO.

i can't find the study, but i'm 99% sure there's at least one reputable one that says a child who doesn't have a father at home, but lives in a community full of 2 parent households, will fare just about as well as the 2-parent household kids.

This and mothers aren’t mothers. They are a second father (and in many instances the only one)

Men get blamed for being absent, but mothers who don’t care are far worse

ETA: this whole ‘it takes a village’ BS is not true - it just passes responsibility off for when something happens - it’s a good excuse for single ‘parenting’

You could have fact checked yourself before posting that drivel.
