“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.
>> I hope they don’t forget about the effect on girls.
agreed
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.
They still say that.
This society is insane!
A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.
Feminists statements from the 70’s
Yes, but don’t forget the big pharma antidepressants
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”
If you subsidize single parent families you get more of them.
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.

Yep. Their mantra: “a woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle”
And let’s not forget about parental alienation.
Beat me to it.
And patental alienation by mostly custodial biomoms.
