Do all the fatherless kids is down to a feminist agenda rather than men who don't live up their responsibilities. I'm a feminist and live with a man and we raise our kids quite happily thanks.

I blame it more on the welfare state. Dads do not need to stick around and take care of the family. The govt does. Not only that, they get more money for having more (fatherless) kids!!

So as far as you are concerned any FATHER is better than none? So a woman should stay with any old drunken abusive r violent BUM???
You need to listen a lot more to what is happening in your own town or city.
Your statistics do not take into account deaths.

maybe if more men were less hard headed with it came to women wanting to be treated as equals.
I don't know, but I fail to see just how it's bad for a kid in a family where both parents need to work to be harmed by the women wanting equal pay for equal work! or where kids a better off living with abusive fathers.

Women feel they can easily raise a family without the old man - statistics tell a different story!
