“girls are growing up in the same environment as boys, with access to the same media, video games, and guns and dealing with the same mental health issues, but they aren’t committing any of the shootings.”
............
The girls may not be doing the murder sprees, but they’re becoming trans. Glad to see the importance of the father being studied but I hope they don’t forget about the effect on girls.
Everyone thought motherless was bad.
I remember when the feminists said that you don’t need a father in the home.
I like Warren. I hope he can still change minds.
Besides (1) the “absent father”
a “fatherless home” sometimes has
(2) an occupant-father but in terms of the children’s emotional and instructional needs is actually absent,
or sometimes the occupant father is (3) so bad (abusive, alcoholic, drug addict, criminal) that having that occupant-father is worse than a father that is not there at all.
So there are really three kinds of “fatherless homes”, each obtaining a different set of hurdles for the child.
But no matter which kind of “fatherless homes” a kid comes from, the complications for the child can (do not have to) lead the child astray, badly astray in their mental development.
Sometimes a kid has inner resources to get over the development deficits of a fatherless home. You all know who Ben Carson is. Well he grew up in a fatherless home.
Feminists demand the "right" not only to mass murder their own babies, but to raise future mass murderers.
Their body, their choice.
I have heard it said that there are no female Mozarts for the same reason there are no female Jack the Rippers. The difference between heroes and monsters is paper thin.
“Take me out to the ....video....game”
“Peanuts and purple hair and crackerjack”
“I don’t care if I ever come back”
I agree about the importance of fathers, but this piece is badly written and sometimes confusing and contradictory.
The bad news is, the statistics show only 63% of children live with both biological parents. In 2019, only 51% were raised by both biological parents through high school.
There is some good news. Things are at least *slightly* better now than in 2012:
“63% actually represents a small increase from what the proportion of children living with both birth parents was in 2012, when it was 61 percent. And the 25% living with single, biological parents represents a small decline from the 2012 proportion of 28 percent. So even with this stricter definition of two-parent families, the trend data show a recovery or at least a levelling off from the lows observed early in the new millennium.”
And:
In 2019, just over 53% of U.S. high school seniors were living with both their biological parents. Just under 51% were with married birth parents and 2½% with cohabiting parents. This represents a considerable decline from the situation in 1996, when 61% of seniors were living with and had been raised by both birth parents. But it represents a modest recovery when compared with parallel findings from 2012 (when under 50% lived with both birth parents) and 2016 (when 51% did). Once again, the newest data point to a turning tide.
“One of the most encouraging developments is the rebound in the proportion of black children being raised by their biological fathers as well as their birth mothers. Among African American high school seniors, that proportion has risen from 24% in 2012 to 30% in 2019.”
It’s too early to tell if this really is a trend, but I do hope so, and that it will continue.

Not that absent fathers are not a problem, they are. Perhaps one of the biggest problems in this country.
But in mass shooters what you find is that they are always liberals.
A conservative knows they are responsible for themselves and have a balanced attitude toward the world. It is not unjust but it is indifferent. Bad things will just happen. It is not a case of someone has it in for you because you stubbed your toe, your homework fell out of your backpack, you planned to do something and it rains. You are not the whipping boy of the universe but you are not the favorite child either. You will have good and bad fortune.
There are times when those bad things will be caused by other humans. Small slights, unjust accusations, losing because the other guy cheated, it is all part of life. And it hurts. But everyone goes through that. The world is unfair, accept it and move on. Try to improve where you can.
The liberal thinks that the world is naturally fair, just and wonderful. If things go wrong it is because someone else made it bad. And that someone else must be punished. It is extreme narcissism. The world revolves around them.
When did this kind of subject start being news and stop being common sense?? If anyone really needs to be reminded that a fatherless home esp in the big city USA...is for any young man a very confusing/depressing place to be...they are in a sad place indeed.
Daughters from fatherless homes wind up just as messed up as sons from fatherless homes.
