The idea behind needing a father figure to become functioning members of society is outdated

I see it a lot online, some kid becomes a juvenile delinquent, some woman becomes an escort, a group of teens/adults steal a lot of items from a convenience store and the first assumption made is they don’t have a father. What’s outdated about it is even though It might be true for some, it’s not for others. Everyone is born and raised in different environments facing different outcomes. Some people come from a loving household raised by both parents and still become sh!tty, convicts, abusers, manipulators, mass murderers, etc. while others don’t. Some people are raised by a single mother and stay out of trouble, with others don’t. I think at the end of the day it depends on the individual.

The problem is a family unit that teaches morality and integrity through their actions with each other and discipline their children when they are in error.

Majority of adults nowadays are products of broken homes and children raised by either social media, or the streets.

The minority of sane adults are raised with morals and a loving family unit.

Having a functioning Father and Mother in a home express the Nature of Life.

This is a vital remedy for a thriving nation of wellbeing.
@Heavenlywarrior Bullshit, I was in a group home in the late 80's, the majority of my fellow residents were from intact homes

@NativePortlander1970 your statement itself is evidence of a broken home.
@Heavenlywarrior Most of my fellow residents had parents that were very stable, one of my roommates fathers was a stockbroker worth millions of US dollars, one of my other roommate's father was a decorated cop, most of the kids I was in there with were trouble makers sent there by the courts for all sorts of things, including habitual shoplifting, drugs, theft, breaking and entering, etc.

@NativePortlander1970 yeah you keep proving my point thanks. Very unfortunate. But Glad we are here talking today.
