Single fathers aren't relentlessly hounded by assholes who never shut up about every little thing they try to do. Single fathers don't get patronizingly asked what they're really there for when they show up at interviews or chuckled at like a novelty when they answer that they're there to provide for themselves and their families. Single fathers aren't told to go home, put on some makeup, and find someone to take care of them because they're good for nothing else. Single fathers aren't treated like the only reason they put in a day's work is because they're over the hill. Single fathers aren't treated like having a job is somehow stealing from somebody else. Single fathers are taken at their word and at face value in their endeavours, not subjected to long suppositions about how they're secretly planning to fuck everyone figuratively and literally until they get bored or see something pretty.
Single fathers don't put up with you and your shit. They are allowed to try and take care of their kids even as people just like you say that women should be the ones doing it all while at the same time insisting those same women are actually terrible at it by default because they're women.
Dumbass.
EVERYTHING in your caption correlates to life being made needlessly difficult and spent in a perpetual uphill struggle that people are more likely to kick your legs out from under you than help you with - a struggle you want pushed onto women for the simple reason that they're women - and you point to the fallout the children experience as a direct result of that hardship as "proof" making those shit conditions was justified.
When worthless deadbeats who get "divorce-raped" and lose custody of their kids continue down a spiral of destruction you never believe it's self-inflicted the way you insist it is for women. Oh no, you go on to blame women for it and cry how the system is rigged against you.
Nice set of cherry picked statistics there. Just so you know, naming yourself "endwomenssufferage" isn't going to convince anyone who isn't already on your side that you're telling the truth. It takes two to make a baby. Where are your "stats" on men? Oh, right, it's easier to blame women instead of encouraging men to step up.
There are far fewer single fathers raising children than single mothers. I'm betting that if you controlled for that and some other factors, the primary factor would be severe poverty, not single motherhood.
Even then, just because prison inmates are disproportionally people born in severe poverty doesn't mean that most people who are born in severe poverty will become prison inmates.
Basically they're conflating certain types of statistics as if they were equivalent, when they're really describing things on completely different levels.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
