Yet another study illustrating what a poor decision it is to be a single mother

Edit: Sorry, thought we cared about facts here. The numbers dont lie.

There is only 71,000 single black fathers? Seems low

These are interesting stats. But I thought this sub was about visualizing the data in interesting ways not just reporting it.

But its not the hole truth now is it?

But it is. Studies show time and again being a single mother results in worse outcomes, and the recent studies show most single mothers are having kids without even getting married. If you have kids and then your spouse dies or you get divorced, that's one thing, but to be so selfish as to tank your children's future just because you can't wait to pop out babies is beyond the pale.

What makes you say that? Seems pretty expected to me.

Being raised by a single mother is an INCREDIBLY strong predictor of basically everything bad; poorly educated, poverty, crime, etc.

Yep, and yet the modern discourse is to celebrate it as if it's a good thing. Blows my mind

Yeah, it's very strange to me as well. It's one thing when people have a difference of opinion, but when they care more about opinions then facts that becomes a big problem.

416k are black, 71k are asian.

HA you’re saying it like all these women are just out there making that decision. Many times it is beyond their control OR a single mother situation is better than an abusive one. Shit, women in the US don’t even have an option for themselves anymore so if you think these statistics are bad now, you just wait!

Just summed up what's wrong with modern society. Feels > reals

Oh OK I misread that

Yeah, it's a regurgitation and highlights of US census data.

Hence the “you just wait”

Love how you think having sex is so one sided. But of course the potential repercussions of both parties actions fall on the woman!
