I alluded to this in a prior post.
Because the most updated literature is clearly indicating that children have the best outcomes if they have a father.
Single father homes produce similar outcomes to homes with both a mother and father.
Conversely, single mother homes are correlated to significantly worse outcomes on average (not always), including but not limited to; teenage pregnancy, deviant behavior/criminality, illiteracy, poor physical health/obesity, poor mental health, poverty, and there is in fact a higher prevalence of domestic violence perpetrated on children by mothers (infanticide rates).
This is why there's a lot of commentary in certain communities (eg African American) pertaining to fatherless homes and social issues.
To be clear, I am not suggesting this is always the case by any means, and there is likely a significant overlap in the bell distribution, but the genders are disproportionately represented at the extremes of that distribution.
I’d like to see Mr Farrell’s stats dissected country by country - surely Economic support, Legal framework, Law Enforcement practices and Cultural convention when it comes to parental discipline have a say?Warren Farrell's research indicated that single dad homes produced better outcomes even when the incomes were the same, thus a higher income for a rather was an additional benefit, but not the determining factor.
I don't want to go too far down this path though - it's undeniable that the best thing for children after separation is to have parents who live near one another and work together to raise the kids without speaking poorly of one another.

Am sorry to hear, but very glad you are reunited. All the best to your and your kids mate.
I have a lot of resent for my ex for many things. Cheating, financial/emotional/psychological/social abuse, all of it.
But I would never pinch the kids and run, denying then access to a parent.
Also, outcomes for children without FATHERS are SIGNIFICANTLY worse for children than outcomes for children without mothers. The evidence on this is clear. The family courts are unfortunately very slow picking up on this but they are slowly coming around.
Hmm.. ok… in a bit of a pickle now. What would Jules do in a situation like this?She may have used email. Or deleted the messages.
Well go on then. Link us to the clear evidence.Also, outcomes for children without FATHERS are SIGNIFICANTLY worse for children than outcomes for children without mothers. The evidence on this is clear. The family courts are unfortunately very slow picking up on this but they are slowly coming around.

The boourns will be muted in the opening 3 rounds with not much in terms of crowd interaction. Pies in round 4 should provide some noise and entertainment
The lack of contrition in all these stories of woe from MRAs is always so jarring to me. No self reflection, no accountability for their own actions. It's always the mean old system designed by men that punishes them and takes them away from their kids and the evil women are there to scheme and take advantage of them!This Farrell bloke being quoted on here as a source on single parenting.. surprise, surprise 'his' findings are negative towards mothers
'Farrell's books are influential in the men's rights and incel movements, with the Myth of Male Power frequently described as the "MRA bible".'
Black and white thinking mate. You’ve claimed they all act innocent (white) when in reality they all have VROs (black) (yes not exactly what you said but the point remains).The lack of contrition in all these stories of woe from MRAs is always so jarring to me. No self reflection, no accountability for their own actions. It's always the mean old system designed by men that punishes them and takes them away from their kids and the evil women are there to scheme and take advantage of them!
What's not said is the number of VROs taken out against them which reveals the legitimate threat that that they pose to their families. Their former spouses are that terrified of them that they feel compelled to get as far away from them as possible.
The family court will do what's in the best interests of the children.
What happened to Hannah Clarke should never be repeated.
And leave the woman/single mother bashing to another thread as well..Anyway.. we’re here to have a good time spreading salacious and unsubstantiated rumours while shitting on Lachie Neale and praising our lord and saviour Jules. Leave the partisan male bashing to another thread
Best mates wife or wife's best mate?
Appreciate you providing a bit of inside info on this, BenMaybe. And there’s no way she wouldn’t have milked that situation so hard if that’s the case. Plus she hasn’t known the Neales long enough for it to even be possible.
Hopefully no Fur Babies are involved.Baby daddy? American term. Gtfo.

Some fathers are arseholes.Many factors.
I suppose the main thing I'd like to highlight is that children suffer without their fathers, and historically the family court setup tends to leave children with less fathers than mothers.
Amazing how much people want to argue various points rather than acknowledge something like that.
BravoLachie Neale getting off.
Lightly over marriage? Crisis!
Aside from the obvious fact you deprive your child the myriad benefits of a dual parent household.People do plenty of stupid things in life, it happens.
And while I don't ever condone cheating, it's not justifiable, shouldn't happen etc, I don't personally consider that a father or mother cheating on their spouse should be put together with whether that makes the person a good or bad parent.
That there is people saying that it automatically makes Lachie a bad father is a pretty disrespectful position to take 'in my opinion'...
And that's coming from a separated father of two (in the absence of infidelity.)
