Single-mothers do a notoriously bad job of raising children. There are even names for children without fathers such as bast@rd. Men, on the other hand, do a remarkably good job as single parents.

I think his comments may have been tongue-in-cheek, but he (or she) will have to clarify it for us.

And that of my child - left fatherless (by his choice) at age 3, today is a delightful, conservative college student who has a very bright future. Has not effectively had a father in 15 years, has never been in trouble of any kind, and made a 4.0 average this semester, her first, in college.

For a less anecdotal reference - I don’t believe all the children of the WW II soldiers who did not return became druggies, bums, failures, or the like.
