Everything about the father not being there, but it's the woman's fault?
What?
Studies show that even the brain may become permanently damaged if a child grows up with a single parent.

Feminists define feminism as a movement to end gender based oppression. Gender based oppression is even bigger than women's rights. But do you dislike women's striving for equality?

This was my first thought
OP, you're not making any sense here.
From the article:

Sounds like a made up study to me.

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!!

It is societies fault for nearly requiring two working adults in a household just to make ends meet. Now, before somebody spouts off how wonderful their one income life is, you are the aberration, not the norm.
Ever since psychological studies and "parenting books" and parenting guidelines become more commonplace, mid 80's on, and the internet, the "family" has fallen apart. Giving children rights, letting them have a voice, not punishing them, etc. all this bull coddling of children has resulted in what we have today. A generation of self entitled participation trophy receivers.
Nobody is willing to listen, to sacrifice, to work for anything that takes effort. They want instant gratification, instant success, instant everything. Parents aren't parents, they try to be the kids friend(when they even acknowledge the kids presence).
Society sucks, it is degrading, and falling apart.
