Lies offend, truth defends

Mothers murder 55% of children killed by their parents; biological fathers 6.8%. That is, 8 times the prevalence. In America, 2,000 children are murdered each year.

Killed by Mothers 1,100 55%

Killed by Stepfathers 250 13%

Killed by Live-In Boyfriends 513 26%

Killed by Biological Fathers 137 7%

The Canadian report "The Invisible Boy" also notes that, regardless of how much abuse may be attributable to the biological father, it is sexual abuse by a female which causes the worst long term damage to society. It found that 93.3% of male adolescent sex offenders who abused females were themselves victims of sexual abuse by females.

This fact, from an obviously feminist report, must be repeated: 93.3% of male adolescent sex offenders who abused females were themselves victims of sexual abuse by females.

Not by males. Not by biological fathers. Not by brothers. Not even by stepfathers. By females, and even though the report did not say so, you can bet that the majority of that sexual abuse of males who became rapists occurred in single-mother households. And you can bet that they were never held accountable for their role in our social disintegration.

Furthermore, society funds their existence to the tune of an average of $1 Million per single-mother household.

Celebrate the real differences

A century now of research into sex differences shows there are reliable and valid differences in many capabilities. What is not emphasized is the fact that these differences are, if not environmental, essentially trivial. These are statistically sophisticated to detect and largely irrelevant in general functioning.

So what if males are 30% (a large difference) better at mental rotation and therefore make better engineers? 99.9% + of the male population are lousy engineers in the technical sense, nitty gritty is something women get together on and do well at. Time overruns are not a female exclusive.

All of us here know we can sew the buttons, wash the laundry, make the lunches and kiss the bumps and scrapes of life for our children very well. More importantly, as incomes have now equated, given job descriptions, it is economically viable for either parent to bring in the bucks or tend to the homestead.

So what if (generally) mom cooks a bit better, or dad provides better games? Or dad pushes for more school and mom worries about better "fashion" to attract a sustainable mate?

Are those serious considerations in the real run? I think not. Not so much as the need for children to have two enduring sources of love and nurturance to balance their views of life and opportunity.
