When single mothers with high incomes are studied, their children do very well. You are not taking into consideration that historically, women have had much less income. Poverty is not an ideal situation for any child. And since men have typically had access to higher salaries, of course single dads would have a better outcome than single moms with little income.

"Letting" women have jobs so they don't starve is a problem in your eyes?

@BOZ_11 Why should I have to be in a relationship in order not to starve?

You want women to be fertility slaves because that's what men want? Pregnancy and birth involve physical risk - 850 women died from pregnancy complications in 2020 in the US, and just under 60,000 needed medical intervention to save their lives. If women don't want to take that risk, who are you to demand it?

I'm not a Hefner fan, but he didn't die alone. He had one daughter and two sons.

@TimBitts649 I can't believe I have to explain to you that women historically made most of the purchases in a family when they were in the home raising families. This is because they were responsible for most of the shopping for the family. The discussion isn't about married mothers; it's about single mothers who historically made less than men - therefore their children would live in poverty or with fewer resources. Now that we have single mothers making high salaries, their children do as well as children with two parents.

@TimBitts649 You are going off into the weeds, Tim. The original comment I responded to was claiming single mothers are less successful at raising children than single fathers. Until recently, most single mothers simply did NOT have the income that most single fathers had, so the comparison of outcomes for the children was not a fair comparison.

@TimBitts649 Where did I say to raise female wages? Do you even understand the original comment I was responding to? The original comment in this thread said that single women make worse parents than single men. I said that when you control for income, that is NOT the case at all. Children raised in poverty statistically have worse outcomes by every measure. The entire issue is that you can't make the statement that single women make worse parents than single men without controlling for the effects of income. When you isolate single mothers by high income, their children are as successful as children with two parents. You are literally trying to have a totally different discussion about how women's wages should be determined, and that is not what is being discussed.

@BOZ_11 I was self-employed in a business for over a decade, and am now creating another business where I'll be self-employed.

@BOZ_11 Women create at least 25% of all businesses and the percentage is growing. You can't provide any evidence their businesses don't last as long as businesses men create. Furthermore, your assertion that women have to choose between getting money from a husband or a male boss is bogus. Putting aside the fact that plenty of bosses are women now, MEN are also employed in the work world and they too have bosses. Why are you pretending like having a boss is unique to women? Given the choice between depending on a husband for money or depending on a boss, the latter is safer. It's a lot easier to changes jobs than to change husbands if you are being mistreated.

@TimBitts649 To expound further. Single parenthood consists of 80% women and 20% men. Since children usually stay with the mother, for those 20% of men to even be awarded the children, suggests they were in a much better position in the first place. Historically, single motherhood has been almost exclusively found in lower socioeconomic groups. That means their children grow up in poverty and more dangerous neighborhoods where criminality is more likely to be a way of life. Those children are more prone to becoming criminals because of where they grow up and no access to the money required to live decently. The fathers of these poor children mostly are not the ones raising them. You can't seriously think that a poor uneducated man living in the same dangerous area is going to raise the child better than his baby mama. They are both in the same boat as far as being disadvantaged. Recently, there has been a rise in financially secure women choosing to having children on their own via artificial insemination. These women are better educated with everything that implies in the way of knowing how to raise children, plus being able to afford nice housing in safe neighborhoods. Recent studies of this particular group of single mothers show a drastically different outcome. Their children fare as well as children in two-parent incomes.

When no fault divorce was implemented, the suicide rate for women went down 20%. Of course, this isn't mentioned at all here.
