Why do children in single-father households often outperform those with single mothers?

Difference Between Single Father vs. Single MotherSingle Mother Issues
Single parenting is difficult irrespective of gender, yet there’s a stark difference in issues that parents from either gender have to face.
Single moms are usually judged harshly for their children’s behavior.
Single dads are presumed to be incapable of doing simple things like changing diapers.
Providing parents with adequate support can make their lives easier.
Difference Between Single Father vs. Single Mother
The Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has defined single parents as those living with at least one biological or adopted child and not with their partners for varied reasons such as separation, divorce, widowed, single, never married, or not living with a partner (4). Studies indicate that more than 50% of kids born to cohab­it­ing cou­ples and 20% of chil­dren born to mar­ried cou­ples will expe­ri­ence a parental breakup or divorce by the age of nine. 32% of children have also been recorded as living with an unmarried parent (8).

Life coach Rodolfo Parlati observes, “Single moms often demonstrate incredible emotional strength and nurturing skills, while single dads tend to shine in encouraging their kids to be independent and solve problems. Both groups deal with mental health issues like burnout, loneliness, and anxiety, but they can find relief through support networks, self-care practices, and professional counseling.”

I believe there are numerous reasons for this phenomenon.

One of them is probably... Feminism. Yes, the "#KillAllMen" ideology does work for the benefit of men in this case, because its application in courts makes it horribly difficult for men to get custody of the children in a divorce. Basically, if a man gets custody of the children in a divorce, He must be an impeccable angel and the woman must be devil incarnate. Any other case, woman gets the custody fo the children. If a man can prove that He is an impeccable saint to a court that makes it its mission to prove the man to be devil incarnate, He must basically be an impeccable angel.

Another reason why single fathers take better care of their children is because they are competitive about it (as they are about literally anything). While modern women mostly see children as a trump card against the men to keep them in check during the divorce rape (see thr video below for context), men (especially those who actually get custody over their children) actually care about their children and they see it as their mission to give them the best start in life possible.

5:06-5:13 - "reimbursement for money I already waste on my kid" - You cannot tell me these kinds of women deserve the custody over their children.

And then there is the fact that men are rational. They know what their children need and to the extent of their abilities, they provide exactly that. With women, even if they genuinely want to care about their children, they tend to be too emotional about life in general and their children's need in particular (one way or another, either shielding their children from any suffering and therefore leaving them vulnerable in real life or venting their frustrations in life on their children).

Men are often better with kids than women, and that includes being effective teachers. Children need clear boundaries, consistency, and to feel safe to thrive. Often, multiple of those is lacking, sometimes severely in single mother households.

Its simple. Courts and social services unfairly give the majority of child custody to bad mothers.

Men make more money, are better at disciplining and because the father is more financially secure, he can be a lot more selective about the women he dates.

single mothers have to work and try to pick up a new husband. there is no time for the child.

single fathers aren't really thinking about that. they focus on supporting the child.

[Finchie40]

Because men don’t constantly bitch and complain about things like females’ do lol

[888theGreat]

I am going to guess Man makes more money as a guess

[Kelley1]

That is one factor.

[TallAnon]

Survivorship bias could be a big factor, men only get sole ownership when they are far above average.

[AgentG111]

I'd say it depends on the father's upbringing but they are usually pushed more to prove they can do it and have to do it

[ChicoFromThe305]

Because men were made to lead households

[Jennz6]

I don’t believe that

[HighValue]

Look it up. Statistics prove it to be accurate. Single father households barely perform worse than two parent households, but single mother ones perform FAR worse. Close to 80% of convicted felons come from single mother households. Teen suicide is higher from single mother households too.
