For 50 years, libs have been cheering for the destruction of the nuclear family. That destruction comes at a very high cost.

Say what!

The libs will trot out anecdotal evidence of some single mom they know that raised the perfect citizen. Fact is there are extraordinary kids that will thrive in any situation. There are also crap kids that will screw up any situation. It is that 80% in the middle that the father really makes a difference with.

Raising children with 2 parents can at times be exhausting - I can't imagine trying to do it alone. Add to that that all of a sudden a 14 year old boy is now bigger and stronger than mom............too often it is at that point where mom only, loses control. At that same age with a father present - junior challenges dad and gets knocked on his a$$ so to speak. Boys tend to stay in-line during that critical 14-18 timeframe with a father at home.

I thought of it more of having a positive male influence around, but you may have a valid point as well. Never thought of it that way.

Oh, I didn't mean to discount the positive male influence part, I just think when boys get a certain age only the strongest of females can rein in junior alone.
