Furthermore, I do know how being "illegitimate" affects a child's behavior when they reach adulthood. The answer is that it affects them not at all. These children may very well have both parents raising them in the same home. They are simply not married. What affects children are shitty, abusive parents who don't know how to deal with having children. That can happen no matter what their parents' marital status.
I apologize for the spelling mistake, thanks for correcting me.
Look the point I was making is that a child should be raised by both of his/her parents. Now even if parents are divorce, the child can still see both parents and get support they deserve.
Now in the case of illegitimate children, majority are born to a young mother who either doesn't know who the father is or the father denies the child is his. These mothers were essentially screwed over by a boy who is a coward that won't take responsibility.
Now majority of mothers who decide not to abort (which is another subject altogether) are now forced to put their careers on hold and start looking for work or social support so their child doesn't grow up hungry.
If you think that it's okay for a young mother to struggle like this, then I pity you.
Quote:That was an insanely sexist and biased remark. I forgive you, but only because you obviously live in a world where women can't work. In the western societies you so despise, women can raise their own children. Furthermore, and this is a big furthermore, children born out of wedlock are not always raised by just their mothers or even one parent. They may also go on to be adopted by a man or woman who loves them. You have no idea what you are talking about.
You obviously find it convenient to make use of stereotypical statements to make a point.
Do you know what country invented human's right? In particular the right to work for all humans.
I didn't say adoption is bad. In fact it is much better than a child being an orphan raised by a social institution. However the problem is these kids feel that something is wrong with them and that is why their parents left them. Or they feel jealous of other kids with parents. These kind of feelings can be used to justify crimes they commit when they get older.
Quote: Oh, and I know a woman who is raising three children and going to med school. That blows your biased blanket statement right out of the water.
Can you tell me more about this friend of yours. If she is divorce then it is different than the single-mother situation I discussed above. Is she getting child support? Is she taking out loans for med school?
