Men Who Are Raised By Women??

[Maximus AureliusParticipant 351]

Sometimes we Learn more about what NOT to be from those around us..

I think I learned more about being a man from John Wayne and
other mentors, than from the broken home life I experienced..

Meditating on the Wisdom & Truths of Man, Isn't just a Philosophy, but a Calling......Be willing to be Called a Man!

Which only speaks to the incredible incompetence of single mothers as parents. It really says nothing about fathers, because fathers, by sample selection, are not part of that set. Your arguments are not fine grained enough for your conclusions.

To get the real story you have to compare the statistics for boys raised by single mothers to that of orphans and boys raised by widows. There aren’t a lot of full-on orphans out there in the west to make a large enough sample size, but children of widows, in general, do significantly better than boys raised by single mothers, despite both groups lacking fathers. This shows that the problem is not necessarily the lack of a father in the home so much as it’s simply single mothers themselves.

This is a good point. However, one of reasons for young men being depressed was in an article out of Texas, if I recall correctly, where the single moms berate the sons and treat them as if they are future rapist and abusers. The boys are being taught to hate themselves by single mothers that choose to be single mothers. If there was a way to isolate that for the statistics, I bet it would be very telling to the world, yet quite expected to us.

A child raised by a single mom is no less of a person for it. It just means that their successes were greater in spite of the challenges of not having a proper house structure to grow up in. While I did have a dad, he hated me and let me know it. Statistics for people like me are very grim as well, yet I made it. That is why you should never judge in absolutes, except with women. All women are inherently liars, selfish and lack any moral compass. I don’t hate them, I just don’t trust or need them.

Sky-o, you are taking this personal. Emotional bias.

If you were raised by a mother with no father figure then you OVERCAME.

You must have seen boys who had a father. Even then it is a spectrum from s~~~ty to good father.

I got lucky and had a good father that was red pill. Having a man that loves and cares about YOU is a huge bonus in a boys life.

Life lessons are tough. You know it probably better than most.

Much respect brother.

Peace brothers

Which again, says absolutely nothing about fathers, one way or the other, only about single mothers.

The only way to make a direct comparison would be to look at all the children raised by single mothers with a father in the home, which is impossible by definition.

Meanwhile I maintain my position that All Men Are Self Made.

So, I’m glad you all had father’s. Hope that worked out for you.

Sometimes not having a father is the best father of all. Sometimes having a mangina father, who is there for you all the time can be the worst father of all. My Father went his own way and moved to a different state, when I was 8 years old. Personally, I liked the freedom of not having an authoritarian in the house. Some of the weakest sissies I knew had “Loving” Fathers there for them all the time. Adversity makes the Man.

‘Daddy! daddy! Please help me become a man so I don’t wind up dead from suicide or in jail !!’

LOL

just checking in

It must be said:

Anyone that needs to grow up with a father in order to prevent committing suicide or going to jail, has some serious freakin’ issues already.

Like, really.

Apparently now:

Having a father is the leading cause of never trying to kill yourself or winding up in jail.

It’s like most criminal defense attorneys just assume when a male client walks in for a consultation: ‘Yep. Knew it. Another one of those No Dad Criminals.’

Stop Suicide: Get A Dad

The jails are full. Would somebody find the missing dads so we can let these guys out on probation.

Sky O,

Chill bro, coming from single parent homes and otherwise broken homes are hard for MOST kids to overcome.

You’re a beautiful example of nature vs nurture. Your environment laid all the cards against you but you have something inside your wiring that moved you to succeed regardless like great men like Abe Lincoln.

Bless you, you are an inspiration.

Chase a check, never chase a chick...

Mr. Sky-O took it way too personally.

If it doesn’t apply to you, you shouldn’t be offended.

This was not a post about you,as you can see.

To put things in perspective this one social scientist says:

It is true, as Roiphe believes, that most children from single-parent homes turn out fine. In her book, For Better or For Worse, psychologist E. Mavis Hetherington estimated that about 75 percent of children of divorce suffered from no major pathologies. In other words, most children of divorce do not end up depressed, drugged out, or delinquent.
