The Cookout

[sourgrapes]

I recently read that America is number one in the world with 28% of children having no father in the home. It makes me wonder if this has ties to all these identity crises happening (making up pronouns, being sexually confused, etc) with the youth and all the failed relationships of young adults.

How do you think it impacts boys growing up without a father?
How do you think it impacts girls growing up without a father?

A father validates his children. Fatherly guidance cannot be substituted. So acting out is a (almost) sure way to know that a father figure was not present.

I have no proof of what I said other than life lessons that I have seen.

If you subscribe to the YouTube channel Soft White Underbelly he often empathizes how fatherlessness impacts people. Completely fascinating channel. It’s sad what not having a father can do to a person.

I have seen some studies done that follow children from like age 8 to 18 and most of the ones who have no father in their life end up getting into all sorts of trouble. Gang violence, drug use, robbery, etc. and what is interesting about this is that race made no difference. White people like to make this a black issue like only black kids without fathers get into trouble but it happens to all sorts of different kids - black, white, Hispanic, Asian // boy, girl.

I'll check it out later when I get home from work. I have seen some different takes on the subject on Youtube but I am always open to hearing other thoughts and ideas on it. It would appear we are a social species in need of a hierarchy with roles to produce the best offspring mentally, physically, and emotionally.

Of course no father in the home will definitely play a huge role in how a boy or girl navigates life. I've noticed most of the dudes who were raised by females (mother, aunt, grandma) tend to be loud, emotional and almost obsessed with fashion. Females with no dad in the house usually dress hoeish, tattoos all over and emotionally damaged.
That's what I've noticed.
It also depends on what kind of father is in the house if they did have a dad but still ended up as if he wasn't there.

The channel is not about fatherlessness per say but usually the first or second question he asks people is if their father was in the home. Most of the time he wasn’t or they have no family. Shit is wild. The pimp Sharp is an interesting character.
