Whether this has to do with a lack of male guidance & discipline, or males raised by single moms not having the patriarchal values installed to be successful in a competitive society, or the general low income of single moms...I don't know???

Don't forget that people who have a parent that is to some extent absent are likely to develop self-esteem issues (I know I did). When you're a kid with a parent who just bailed you can't help but irrationally wonder if it's you that drove that father/mother away. That's powerful **** that will likely stick with you your entire life no matter how good you turn out.

All I know is that people who came from good two parent families should thank their lucky stars. I came out okay in the end, but I would most likely be way father ahead in life, had I had a positive father figure around from the start.

Freudian slip?
