    Isn’t this a very old and irrelevant way of thinking, but placed on a modern styled meme format, in order to maybe state a different problem?

    Being single parents is not more derogatory that being a cat owner or having bangs

      I feel like it would be about 5 minutes before someone decides that emphasizing the father’s role in the family (ie, absent) and ignoring the mother’s role is just another way for the patriarchy to erase women.

        To me, it seems like the complete oppositeis the case.

        A single father is more rare, exactly because of the concerns of the effect that the lack of a mother might have.

        Single mothers is way more accepted than single fathers, but all in all I don’t see this as an issue or at least not any more.

        Its one of those weird things that can be used as both a thing people look down on but also something people look up to.
