The Cookout

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?

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.
