This is not in any way a defense of women who fall into such behavior, but I just want to point out that the focus of this study is on women having children from different fathers. What does this situation say about men? Aren’t they as promiscuous as the mothers? Are men exonerated for fathering many children with as many women as they possibly can? It takes two to tango, you know?
Unquestionably, that’s true. We can’t let the men off the hook as they are complicit in this problem. Too many men are not responsible for their behavior, and it’s not a good trend for our society. Our modern culture even glorifies some of that behavior. Very bad.
As far as this study goes, maybe not.
It could be that in each circumstance all of the men servicing the promiscuous mother are faithful to her, unaware of other suitors.
Well, it's possible. We men are frequently clueless. Tell me you know this!
