People claim they understand marriage isnt the end-all-be-all and yet they keep acting like it is. They consistently talk about marriage more than they bring up providing a good stable upbringing for a child. If youre not committing the Correlation Equals Causation fallacy, why would you promote marriage as a solution when you know that married couples can abuse their kids, neglect their kids, and be unstable (constant fighting, shouting, etc)? All it does is promote the idea that people should stay in toxic relationships “for the sake of the children” instead of actually prioritizing their children’s well-being. This is especially true in cultish religious communities who shame women into staying with abusive husbands as to not disadvantage their kids (who is he most likely also abusing).

There’s an overlap between the “Single Moms create criminals” group and the racists constantly saying 13/50. Neither of them actually care about getting into the root of societal issues. They just want to stereotype people, justify discrimination, and having a superiority.

If these people actually cared about dysfunctional kids, which they honestly dont, they would look at correlation between: Abuse Neglect Untreated Mental Illness Environment Gr00ming (not sure if the actual word is allowed again).

Actually asking the people why they were in the terrible situations theyre in.

For example: People would bring up most runaways come from single mother households. When you actually survey these runaways, they state theyre running from abuse, neglect, or kicked out for being gay/trans. I highly doubt any of them state “Oh because mom wasnt married”.
