Because lefties, especially feminists, kept telling us that fathers either “don’t matter” - or are “authoritarian” and kids are better off without them.

This explains single motherhood among rich, college educated feminists, but these account for a tiny fraction of single mothers. Feminist noise-makers on college campuses often opt out of being mothers of any kind, single or not.

The overwhelming majority of single mothers are ghetto types who don't even know what feminism is. They're single mothers because A. they lack self-control in who they have sex with and the foresight to use birth control and B. they know that the more children they have a single mothers, the more welfare benefits they can collect.

That is exactly what I said in my first post.

Welfare recipients are rewarded for having more and more children without a father.

B. they know that the more children they have a single mothers, the more welfare benefits they can collect.

The more children they have with DIFFERENT "BABY-DADDIES", the more welfare benefits they can collect. Some of them are articulate enough to explain the scam on youtube.
