Why is the father always blamed when a son turns out to be a scumbag, regardless of whether he was present during his upbringing?

[Anonymous]

When a son grows up with both parents and turns out to be a scumbag, people blame the father for failing to raise him properly. Yet when a single mother raises a son who turns out the same way, the absent father still gets blamed for not being there to teach him how to be a "proper man."
But surely, if the father wasn't there, wouldn't that have given the son the best possible chance of growing up without becoming toxic, since his father wasn't around to teach him any of his supposedly toxic traits in the first place?

I don't recall people only blaming a father but not the mother when both parents are present. Usually people blame both parents

Both are responsible. The woman for letting a supposed toxic man nut in her. And the man for nutting in a woman who doesn't understand accountability.

Fathers model what it means to be a good man.

A lot of people might put most of the blame on the father because many believe the same sex parent is crucial to the child's development, but I still think both parents are both blame.

Men are the ones who can teach their sons how to be men, not women.
