This makes me very sad. You see, I was raised by a single mother. That means I know what I'm talking about. The other day there was a debate about "fat acceptance". An obese woman said being fat wasn't a health risk at all. The other non-obese woman said it was. Regarding single moms, the anti-fat acceptance woman kept getting tongue-tied saying "most, not all, but most obese people get sick and...". Even though the non-obese woman kept firing stat after stat after stat, all of which were as much proven by data as they were by simple common sense and heuristic experience, you could see how it left just enough room for the obese woman to keep her lie going.
This rhetorical trick is, regrettably, very effective and is used frequently by the left. It engenders a very peculiar effect in dialogue; it neutralizes most, if not, all of your opponent's arguments, because, it can always cast a shadow of doubt even if it's only a slight shadow. Being overly-overly technical, generous, and acting in good faith, the exception disproves the primary data-based argument only in the sense that the sample set isn't 100% uniform. But that's never the case and even a novice orator will have accounted for exceptions already, which argumentatively speaking, refutes their opponent's jab. However, explaining that during a debate takes too much time. And that's why this sleight-of-hand works.
This is what they use to justify their celebration and worship of single moms. And then the very worst of all things happens. People respond to this and even start to emulate it. Get constant praise by society for being a brave single mom? Many women, and women especially due to their gullibility, will do it. Its a sort of incentive. I can't tell you how awful that makes me feel. I know. The experience I had growing up with a single working mom was not good and it affects me to this day. Jordan Peterson once said divorce is like giving your kids not a terminal, but, a serious medical condition for life. Yes. Those are choice words.
I'm no stranger among my generation. Generation X was destroyed by divorce and there's not a word of it from our media. But, there are plenty of words of praise and encouragement for single moms. Or for two moms, for that matter. Nothing for a father.
Not having a father was devasting. It most definitely kept me back. These people who support single mothers support all of the other far-leftist radical stuff. They're the same ones taking offense to every little thing. Most people get caught up in the emotion and can't see that the door only swings in one direction. For someone like me when I hear "fathers are not necessary" in any context I'm extremely offended. Because I know just how untrue that statement is and how devasting that mentality is too young kids, particularly, boys. This complicates my Christian belief in forgiveness because I cannot find any for the people who made this happen.
