Women: yes. Their children: no.
As someone who was basically raised without a father, I can assure you this study is spot on.
I was raised with a (bad) father and there is no doubt between my sibs and I that we would be much saner and happier if he hadnt’ been there.
Again, the key word is loving. If either parent is cruel, abusive, selfish &/or mentally ill/substance abusing, the kids are better off with just one parent.
