Fathers aren't necessary. T/F?

[Anonymous]

I think that children really only need a mother and that fathers aren't really necessary. I think they actually do more harm than good.

True

False

Not sure

The way society is today there's lots of single mothers around where the father has disowned his kids. This is the case where I live. The kids do just fine without their father. As long as she provides love and stability , a father isn't a miss to a kid. If the mother walks away and the kids are raised by just their father they are affected by it. A mother's role is more important than a father's , if that wasn't the case mothers wouldn't automatically be given custody to the kids after a divorce or breakup. Father's never fight for their kids and move on from their kids If a relationship ends. A mother's life will revolve around her kids, a father's never does

[applesandoranges22]

this is the biggest and most ignorant lie I have ever seen.

[applesandoranges22]

and anyone with a loving father wouldn't make a idiotic post like this. This is a clear example of what happens when someone has a crappy father. Most broken homes are the cause of violence globally. this is a fact.

Children need loving stable home with sane people. Plenty of great people were raised by grandparents, aunts, uncles, adoptive parents, single fathers, etc. Plenty of mothers are sadistic, abusive pieces of shit just read the news.

Just reading your opinion pisses me off. I hope you never have children and if you do I feel sorry for the narrow minded view you are inflicting on them.

[Elarra]

I think you have daddy issues if you really think this is true.

[mrinalashesh007]

A child always need both of the parents to nurture him/her.. it's a natural process.. any woman can't stra8way become a mother kn her own.. foe that she needs a man defo.. n that man has to be father.. no just random guy to fuck with n gone!

my opinion.. both of them are equally needed..

[hmtr23]

I'm a single father of two kids and even if I was with their mom they would still need a father , I don't understand that concept or thought that father's aren't as important as the mother if my kids were with their mother then they would be way worse off then they are with me

[cbk619]

BOTH parent are ESSENTIAL... i mean yea, you can MAKE DO... but you could also say fire isn't necessary for cooking food, and can do more harm than good by burning the food... but everyone is entitled to their opinions and mine is thAt woman is batshit crazy

[Notorisch_Arschloch]

Well, 85% of the prison population of America are the products of single mother households, so... yeah, I'm going to go with men do a better job at parenting.

[SimplySuperb]

Umm, I think you must of had father issues or just don't like guys. It's a fact that fatherless children are more likely to be angry, turn to drugs. They have a drastically higher chance of committing suicide, have a greater chance of having gender identity problems, and experiencing child abuse, as 49% of all child abuse is done by the single mother.

[AleDeEurope]

Obviously you're a troll lol
If you want a country filled with criminals, get rid of the fathers.

xD

[Topkek]

That's already happening worldwide.

[drjohnj]

Everyone brings something to the table!!! Mother, father, teachers, grandparents and friends all have an influence on your child. You may want to be the center of there world, but you won't know who had the biggest influence on them till later in life.

[Prof_Don]

Society has degraded in the first world in most measurable statistics over the past few generatios, when strong fatherly presence has decreased during this same time span.

Coincidence? I think not.

[fluffoid]

True! Yeah, men are authoritarian and dominating enough to sincerely believe they have something valuable to contribute, but really when seen biologically they don't. Anyone can muscle in on child rearing and proclaim themselves master of the universe. I fail to see how that can do anything but worsen the present global scenarios of resource depletion, after all, most fathers only want sons. Remember that men cannot conceive, are socially inept and fill the prisons of the world quite well.

[applesandoranges22]

you are an idiot, and whats sad is you are 57 lol. I thought you would at least sharpened up.

[applesandoranges22]

and for you to come to this conclusion clearly means you had a crappy father. Which basically means, daddy issues. you are really sick in the head

[fluffoid]

@applesandoranges22, your subjective opinion about me as a person means absolutely zilch. As for your expectations about age related "wising up", perhaps you are expecting far too much. I'm not gullible enough to buy all of the guilt projections and that "big heavy" crappy father opinion. My father was omni-present when I was a child, he was a drill sergeant-major with the Grenadiers and served 36 years in the military. I hope you can wrap your brain around that nugget of "reality".

[applesandoranges22]

its not a subjective opinion. if you had a loving father, then your experience of how important he is would be shaped differently. This is common sense. you are right, I am excepting to much. I thought you would be able to use common sense, and actually come to terms of whats going on in the real world and how crime is closely related to broken homes. If anything, I know about reality than you ever will, as i grew up in with a lot of minorities who had no father figure and struggled to find themselves. Some turned to drugs, crime and a lot of females with no fathers let men pimped them out because they like to be controlled. You on the other hand, live in a bubble and like I said you have no real idea what a REAL father is because you had a crappy one

[fluffoid]

@applesandoranges22, I don't buy into your claims based on supposedly having been involved with minorities. Likewise attempting to deride what I said based on your idea of common sense is purely ludicrous. I'm not as pretentious as someone sporting an avatar where one cannot clearly see what kind of a person they are. Is nicely glamorous and insular to shade yourself like that and tow along boring MRA sentiments that genuinely vanish as quickly as do "baby daddies" when confronted by child support issues.

[applesandoranges22]

I really dont care what you buy into. This is coming from the same person who thinks we are ''socially inept and fill the prisons of the world quite well.'' Ill give you the location of where im from. brooklyn new york. search up some of those areas and please do tell me what you think of that area. besides that, I dont even think you are capable of a logical thought but you sure do ramble on a lot. By the way, I brought up your age earlier because you should be wiser now, as you have had along time to actually use your brain, yet you are one of the biggest idiots i have ever seen on this site.

[fluffoid]

I love your amusing anecdote proposing that "a lot of females with no fathers let men pimped them out because they like to be controlled". You'll have to make that into a prize YouTube video to anesthetize your fleeing audience. LOL

[applesandoranges22]

you are so far gone that its hilarious. There sure are women out there who like to be pimped out and controlled, and a lot of them even date older men because they want a guy who is like a dad. They even call them ''daddy'' at this point I hope you are acting stupid on purpose. either way, im done with you

[FallOutBoy2001]

False beyond belief.

My father is the least crazy member of my family. He's also full of good advice. I'd be nowhere without my father. What makes the mother more important?

[Dred1614returns]

Then why do the vast majority of gang members in the US grow up without fathers?
Great job those mothers did.

[Zoxox]

Too bad that's not even true. There are many people that are successful that only had there moms

[Dred1614returns]

@Zoxox why'd you even need to comment? Your last sentence is obviously true.

[Zoxox]

Because it's wrong of you to make a statement like that.

[Dred1614returns]

@Zoxox why? It's true.

[Zoxox]

What article did you read that from?

[Dred1614returns]

@Zoxox come on. Everyone knows (except you) that one of the leading causes of gang violence is the breakdown of families, specifically the absence of fathers in the lives of young, inner-city men. That fact is all over the place. If you choose not to believe it, research it.

[applesandoranges22]

more specifically minorities are the one with a lot of missing fathers, which creates a cycle of broken homes and violence against men who cannot solve their issues correctly and a generation of women who are confused and either turn to things like objectifying themselves hanging with wrong crowds or just wanting a guy to control her.

[BeardedViking]

My father was the one who took care of me when i was just a lad. The same question goes for mothers don't you agree?

[JustinTheGreat]

Just cause you have daddy issues doesn't mean everyone does

[Nightinggale]

False. Ideally a kid needs both parents. But if they must have only one the father would be a way better choice. Single moms are shit a lot of the time.

[alice55]

False, I don't even know how someone can think like that seriously.

[RealandGenuine26]

I think a father deserves every right to be in his own child's life.

[Nelsoen]

I think children need fathers more than mothers. I grew up in a single father home and I'm doing MUCH better than most people in single mom households

[ASEXY]

False, I love my dad. He's done a lot of good and no harm.

[User92]

That's totally false the father is necessary unless the father is very abusive then it's different but other than that the father is necessary

[Anonymous]

Girls tend to paint a different view of the world than men, because they are treated differently.

[Anonymous]

False my parents got divorced when I was 2 and I would much rather have both then just my mom.
