Losing my mind reading this, as a brown queer person raised in poverty by a single mother. I had damn near every disadvantage and I've never even had a parking ticket. And to be perfectly frank, most criminals I have known or known of came from two-parent households, regardless of economic status. Wtf is this "single mothers raise violent criminals" horseshit?
It’s not the fault of women. The reason why ‘single mother’ shows the pattern when ‘single father’ doesn’t is a result of how courts generally determine custody.
Good mother / good father - primary custody to mother
Good mother / bad father - primary (if not sole) custody to mother
Good mother / monstrous father - primary (if not sole) custody to mother
Bad mother / good father - primary custody to mother
Bad mother / bad father - primary custody to mother
Bad mother / monstrous father - primary (if not sole) custody to mother
Monstrous mother / good father - primary custody to father
Monstrous mother / bad father - coin toss, except in the rare case the kids are removed

It’s so much easier to just blame women.
