When a man raises his child by himself he is a single dad (parent).
Do we agree on this?
If we do, my question is, why are there so many single mothers?
Because more women than men take up the majority of the responsibility of raising their kids.
It happens that here in America, in contested custody, women are awarded custody far more often than men. I'm not sure that more women than men want custody, simply that they get it. If you've got numbers, I'm amenable to correction.
