This is why I lament the fact that our schools encourage children to engage in sex at a young age, and our media encourages women to embrace risky sex with multiple, non-supportive partners:
"
The reasons are partly obvious. No matter how good a single parent is, that solo parent can NEVER model for the child how two, present, committed, parent partners share & work together; communicate together and solve problems together as equals. As well, single parents have more pressure emotionally, physically, socially, mentally and financially, raising a child alone. And, with the extended family's decline, there are less familial models and supports, as well.
Findings, in comparison with two-parent homes, show significant impacts on children:
1. Less emotional support for the children
2. Harsher discipline
3. Inconsistent discipline
4. Fewer rules (interesting in conjunction with #'s 2 & 3).
5. Less supervision
6. More conflict between parent and child
7. Lower achieved levels of education
8. Twice the dropout rate
9. Twice the incarceration rate
10. More violent crime
11. More gang involvement
12. More likely to be a teen parent
13. Four times the need for help with emotional and behavioral problems
14. More alcohol and drug problems
15. More suicides"
What sort of animal would ever tell a young girl that they have a *right* to, and should, embark upon a lifestyle that results in the above?
Ask a progressive. They have the answers.
Primarily it's because they view children and women as chattel.
