When did being a single mother become cool?

Okay. This might get me banned, but please hear me out.

I dont understand why so many young women (especially in minority communities) gravitate toward teenage pregnancy. Many of then will proclaim it doesn't mean they cant be successful. It is true that you can still have a good career as a single mom, but that is not the point.

The real reason single parenthood is bad is because it deprives the child of having their father. A strong male role model is crucial to a child's development.

I know that a mother with strong religious or family support can rear good children and that an immature father can potentially be a detriment instead of an asset. However, in most healthy family environments, two parent homes are superior to single parent homes.

It really bothers me how some women proclaim to be strong mothers, yet they will continually get pregnant irresponsibly. They never seem to learn from past mistakes.

Edit: many dont try to do the right thing by her kids. They should train their kids to be more productive members in society. Instead they continue the same failed way of thinking. And I know men share half of the blame as well. But that's what it is HALF. They are equally responsible.
