Not Just Octomom but Bimom and Unimom, Too.
It took me several years to gain my wife’s trust. For some reason she didn’t want to give her ovaries to a complete asshole who cared more about cocaine
Not Just Octomom but Bimom and Unimom, Too.
It took me several years to gain my wife’s trust. For some reason she didn’t want to give her ovaries to a complete asshole who cared more about cocaine and comedy than fidelity. After about four years of courting and getting older, we both took a deep breath and walked down the aisle. Soon after that some (well-planned) babies came out of her vagina.
The first thing that pops into your head when you become a new parent is “How do single mothers do it?” It made me hate any man who ever abandoned a mother. I can’t even listen to TV on the Radio after hearing one of the guys in the band abandoned his girlfriend and their (well-planned) baby. Unfortunately, math crept into the equation and told me only 38% of single mothers have been abandoned. That leaves over a million women a year having babies with no man, just because they want one. Today the U.S. Census tells us there are over 10 million single moms in America raising 2 children each without a dad (stop saying “single parent” by the way, barely 3% of single parents are dads who never married). It’s amazing that it feels outrageous to simply acknowledge: This is not good. My fellow New Yorkers think a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle but if you ask most young girls if they’d prefer a dad over a new bike, I’m guessing they’d choose the former. If they wouldn’t. They’d be wrong.
I’m sorry but after the relentless wooing it took to get these kids in my life and the heaps and heaps of attention it takes to keep them fulfilled, the first thing that pops into my head is, “What a bunch of stupid bitches most single mothers are.” Funnily enough, an old New York University study says they’re just that, specifically, “overtly dominant, aggressive, narcissistic and bitterly hostile.” Sounds accurate to me. Shit, I get uncomfortable when I see babies with pierced ears but you’re cutting out 50% of their parenting? Isn’t that child abuse? Talk about starting your child out with a crippling handicap.
Oh. Excuse me for a second. Right now my 2 year-old daughter is standing next to the kitchen table and hollering, “I want to see Woody Woodpecker!!!” We heard one in the trees yesterday so I brought her to the computer to show her what they look like. Woody appeared in the search and that led to her knowledge of this ancient cartoon. Now, I would love to sit her in front of my wife’s computer with Woody on a YouTube loop so I could finish this in peace but I’m not going to do that. My wife and I avoid the electronic babysitter at all costs.
Speaking of which, can you imagine how much TV the children of single mothers watch? It boggles my mind and their kids’ minds at the same time. I wouldn’t be surprised if the TV is constantly on. The adverse effects of this kind of half-assed parenting are pretty evident all over America. Just go to your local prison. 80% of inmates come from single mother homes. A 2001 book called The Index of Leading Cultural Indicators discovered these fatherless children account for, “63% of youth suicides, 70% of teen pregnancies, 71% of all teenage drug and alcohol abuse” they also account for, “90% of homeless and over 90% of runaways.”
The left’s favorite defense regarding all this is to say, “Most of the children from single mothers do just fine.” Well, when you’re talking almost 20 million, you better hope the majority do just fine. Liberals took New Math in school so they have trouble with the concept of “disproportionately.” I’ve done heroin half a dozen times and I’m still here. That doesn’t mean it’s harmless. The only way people can defend single mothers is to dig up some horrible, abusive marriage where both spouses live in hell. It makes for good song lyrics but marriage is simply not the living nightmare the left wants it to be. According to the National Crime Victimization Survey, single mothers are at least twice as likely to get beaten by their boyfriend than married women are by their husband. The same study also says married women are less likely to suffer any violent crime. The scariest part of all this however, is what it says about kids, “Children of divorced or never-married mothers are six to 30 times more likely to suffer from serious child abuse than are children raised by both biological parents in marriage.”
So yeah, please don’t pile on me some anecdotal evidence where your mother raised you all by herself and you’re just fine. You’re one in a million or more specifically, one in a hundred. Although, come to think of it, it’s difficult to quantify the damage 35 hours of TV a week did to you so maybe you are damaged and the stats just don’t know it yet.
The baby boomers invented a world where we collectively worship everyone who’s hard done by (they also invented divorce and never being wrong). I have to admit it’s pretty fun. Feeling sorry for blacks makes you feel like a Freedom Rider but what if said blacks made themselves that way? Isn’t that just someone in blackface? Should we feel bad when drag queens are victims of sexism? Are paraplegics who got that way from driving drunk, victims? Single mothers are unique because not only did they make themselves victims but they brought another, more serious victim into the mix, their children.
Ooops. Sorry. One second. I have to go make the salt and pepper shakers talk to my daughter. They are shaped like gnomes and she loves to hear what they have to say. Oh! I hear angry squeaks! Sounds like my son’s awake. My wife is going to go get him. Cute, my daughter wants to go with her and see her brother get up. I’d love to get into this single mother thing a bit more but as soon as the baby’s dressed, we’re going to take both kids to the park. My wife will look after my infant son on the grass while I push my daughter on the swing and then we’ll switch and the girls will play while I look after the baby. Somehow we’ll all be knackered at the end and that means the kids will sleep more soundly giving us a few hours of freedom after 8 o’clock. Man, these kids are kicking our asses. OK, quick closing paragraph then I have to get the baby’s seat back in the car…
Almost everyone wants kids. It’s in our DNA. I wanted a motorbike really badly when I was 13 but I didn’t get one until I could afford my own at the ripe old age of 22. If you didn’t get around to meeting someone you can be with for, I don’t know, at least 18 years, I have some bad news for you. You can’t have a baby. Sorry. It’s not you. It’s the kid. It wouldn’t be fair.

Can we do it non-figuratively as well?
I have to admit I never thought of it this way. My best friend and I both grew up without fathers because our fathers are fucking losers so we’re hard wired to put single mothers on a pedestal but our moms didn’t have a choice.
The ones that did it on purpose are different.
too long, get your own blog
black males = allergic to children and responsibility
word is born y’all! he spits hot truths!
ps- don’t expect the bleeding hearts to dig it; it means they’re wrong, and feel guilty.
Really well said. I dated a girl who was the product of a single mother household and even though she was dropping acid at the age of 12, started fucking at the age of 13 and had an abortion at the age of 15, she seemed to think it was all par for the course. She dropped out of high school and is now 30 and single, seemingly unable to make relationships stick.
When I tried pointing out the fact that the way she lived her life from 12- 30 was almost a verbatim case of what statistics have shown for damaged children of single mother homes she got really offended. Seems she had been sold on the ‘there’s nothing wrong with me/I turned out just fine/We got everything all the other kids had anyway’ line that single mothers pound into their kids heads.
It was really fucking sad. I can’t believe people are still in denial about the fact that kids need two caring parents and I have nothing but contempt for anyone who brings a child into a single parent situation for selfish reasons because they feel the need to indulge an ego trip about how capable they are as people.
There are plenty of other reasons not to listen to TV On The Radio.
You’re promoting an ideology that’s almost Utopian these days. How do you know you won’t fuck around on your wife or she won’t diddle behind your back? Your kids are young, you’re young, you have a long road ahead of you. You need to wait a few years before you get the right to sit there pontificating, jackass.
Anna is a lez.
Christianity invented a world where we collectively worship everyone who’s hard done by. Not baby boomers.
Um, where exactly are you seeing all this pro-single moms stuff from “the left”? Do you have some sort of time sphere that lets you peer back to 1989?
You are right about the boomers and their fucking underdog fixation. I blame their divorced, alcoholic proto-Boomer parents leaving them in front of the tube to watch Underdog.
1. anna is right.
2. my mother brought up the four of us singlehandedly and quite well after my biological father took off for the last time. things would have been pretty bad had he stayed much longer. and the worst part is, to the outside world, we would have appeared to be one of those ideal families with him there. you only know what truly goes on behind your own four walls.
stop idealizing something when you don’t have experience or understanding of the alternative. two parent household is overrated and not necessary. think back further in history and yo’ll find proof of this.
“For some reason she didn’t want to give her ovaries to a complete asshole who cared more about cocaine and comedy than fidelity.”
and this line is going to come back some day to haunt his ass. great foreshadowing, dun, dun dun!
Great stuff. I absolutely love it that you use statistics to back up your claims.
I thought the stats are pretty clear on just how much he’s “glorifying” two parent households. This isn’t based on two or three people or your friend. Studies show you’re better off with 2 parents. It’s amazing that that’s considered “utopian thinking.” Wow.
How did we get here?
i think we should just abort the human race altogether, buncha fuckin idiots, vermin, scum…
You imply that being a left leaner means you inherently support single women having children and that is clearly retarded. Plus, doesn’t everyone know by now that statistics are pretty much meaningless? They can be maninpulated so easily, i thought only Fox News was still swilling out schlock like “70% of teens who had sexually explicit songs on their ipods were sexually active, so sexy music makes teens do it!” But uh I guess not? And It has nothing to do with “New Math” it has to do with pulling numbers out of the context of a study in which we have no idea what kind of sample they were using and how it was measured.
I don’t disagree with your main point: that children fare much better coming from a stable two-parent household, but you coulda got that across without shitting your family oriented conservative bias all over it.
i guess I’m one of those lucky one in a hundred kids!!!
Imagine how fucked this country would be today if abortions were outlawed.
I have a personal rule to never seriously date anybody whose parents were divorced, dad ran out, ect… Their issues are deep and I cannot pretend to understand them, but they seem to be the source of an immense amount of friction.
It’s proven nearly impossible to uphold.
In summary, fuck the world,
@Whiners suck:
I salute you. Enough with all this Right-wing propaganda disguised as ‘telling it like it is’.
This was really excellent. I could say something rude or snarky about something but then maybe you wouldn’t believe the 1st sentence.
the average number of women’s studies classes a girl has to take in college before she starts arguing that two parents aren’t necessary is 3. coincidentally the unnecessary parent is always the father.
Reading this is making me have second thoughts of asking to get my tubes tied at a very Christian hospital like St. Claire’s.
& Woody Woodpecker was my favorite cartoon when i was 4! Look at me now, i’m an animator.
Don’t let your daughter go down the wrong path.
As fucked as it is, i agree with the lezzie bo bezzie Anna of 10:31 AM. i want PART II of this article in 15 years when your childrens’ teenage angst bullshit has taken a body count of at least 5 body bags (one of them including you) ;p
My mom would always reminisce to these days of yore that you speak of now so enjoy it while you can. Yep, you’re probably going to have to endure walking in on your tween daughter “getting it on” in your bathroom with some crusty punk & bailing your son out of jail at one point or another. i know my parents did.
“LIFE SUX N THEN SUMTIMES IF UR LUCKY U DIE.”
Well, i enjoyed reading this. Much <3 to you & your family Gavin.
PS: plz tell Kyle i think he iz teh keuts.
I agree that it’s likely that a child who comes from the household with more than one adult caring for them is going to do better in life than a child from a single parents family. Not just two parents, but a network of adults around them like grandparents for example, who are there to support them. It makes logical sense.
What I don’t agree with is the the way you’re using stats to imply that because 80% of prisoners came from single parents families, the single parent family situation is the cause of their downfall. That’s a huge over-simplification of a massively complex issue. i bet if you were to ask the social background of that 80% it would also tell you they came from poverty or a poor background. But before you accuse me of being a bleeding heart Liberal, I’d also say that no matter how much money or help you throw at certain people they’ll always be fucking losers and they deserve the shitty lives they have. There will always be people like that.
I also think it’s a bit rich of you to be talking about staying married to your wife til your kids are 18 when your oldest daughter is only 2 or 3. Come back in 15 years and give us this speech.
Am I a victim because I willingly read this article?
i work in a yoga studio ( i know snooze..zzzz) and it’s quite a yuppie place. yesterday i saw my first redneck. she brought her son in for kids yoga and the whole time she was signing him up she was telling him to hush and get out of her face. she had an amazingly hot body, poor teeth, withered thick hair and a mouth breathing country way of a talking.
she was way more rough and tumble than the rest of so called pussy ‘good moms’ who were in there trying to get there bodies back after kids…and i must admit that the majority of these so called ‘good mothers’ don’t look so hot. i mean the single mom looked like she raced motor bikes with her son.
anyway the kid loved yoga and wants to do more of it. so i am hoping that he won’t end up in jail but even if he does he might be flexible enough to suck his own…
hugs xo
Take that, Murphy Brown!
“Unfortunately, math crept into the equation and told me only 38% of single mothers have been abandoned.”
Those are some lovely uncited statistics you’re throwing around there. Did math accidentally creep over the percentage of single mothers who are widows or raising their kid with a guy they’re not married to? Or do you honestly believe 8 and a half million moms are just plucky young upstarts who’ve decided to go it on their own.
Didn’t you see Idiocracy? The “smart” parents like you that wait til they’re ready for a kid are vastly outnumbered by dumbasses and catholics and octomoms that just keep plopping them out over and over. Your poor kids are gonna grow up in a world where 80% of their peers are complete fucking morons. and then, when your kids turn 30 and it’s time for them to have kids, the only people they’re gonna be able to choose for a mate are these TV-raised, fatherless idiots. So your grandkids are gonna be retarded, no matter how much time you spend with your kids on the swingset.
Hope you didn’t publish this anywhere reputable.
“According to Families and Living Arrangements: 2006, there were 12.9 million one-parent families in 2006 — 10.4 million single-mother families and 2.5 million single-father families.”
census.gov/Press-Release/www/releases/archives/families_households/009842.html
25% > barely 2%
Wonder what else is made up.
About 18% of single parents are male. However, almost none of them elected to do this by choice.
Gavin, you should get your kids the first Woody Woodpecker collection to check out. It rules. This & that Sha Na Na Punk piece were great.
Something is not right about that single dad statistic. 25%? Does anyone know anyone who knows a single dad? How can they be 1 in 4 single parents? Maybe they’re including a guy who took his kids to a new relationship and he lives with his girlfriend now but they’re not married so he’s still considered “single”?
Great Post… Pretty reminiscent of Coulter’s expose on the Single-Mother Victimhood/Glorification that has become such a pervasive trend in this country. She digs a lot deeper into the numbers behind the studies, such as: Once the “Single-Mother” factor is eliminated, there really is no difference in Black and White Crime Rates. I also heard that 40% of child births this year were outside of wedlock. Great Post. Keep Dropping The Knowledge Bombs.
and to Krazy Malazy: An impoverished social background does not begat Single-Parenthood, but rather Single-Parenthood often begats a life of poverty.
gees when it comes right down to it feminism sucks
When they say 18% of single parents are dads they are including guys that remarried and brought the previous kids with them. Of the fathers who are custodial parents:
* 57% are divorced or separated
* 24% are currently married (In most cases, these numbers represent men who have remarried.)
* 18% have never married
* 1% were widowed
So only 18% of 18% are comparable to what we think of as a single mother and that makes 3.24%
Cool fathers are the greatest thing in the world. Any woman who deliberately denies their kid a good father is an idiot. Why say more? Good article.
you’re such a goood father. wanh wanh. fathers shouldn’t document heroin use on forums their kids will read archives of someday
Hahaha, “An impoverished social background does not begat Single-Parenthood, but rather Single-Parenthood often begats a life of poverty.”
Right, the children of poor, middle-class, and rich single moms are all equally likely to end up poor.
I love how heavily you guys oppose the use of “anecdotal evidence” until the second someone points out that none of your stats’ sources are named and that they’re actually at odds with official census stats, then it’s all “that doesn’t seem right, I know way more single moms than dads,” and “well there are probably a lot of mitigating factors with dads, like some are widows and some are living with girlfriends” as if none of that shit applies to the blanket stats you’re laying down for the ladies.
Basically, you set up a strawman counterargument that no one has even thought of in the past 20 years just to justify a little pot-inspired rant about how fatherhood is “where it’s at.” What’s yr take on affirmative action?
Ever see the movie Parenthood? Watch out Gavin, you’re in Rick Moranis territory. Life happens and shit happens regardless of stats, so you might be raising your family “perfectly” but I hope you’re knocking on wood too. The coolest, most punk, most creative kids I know come from homes where things were less than perfect. Just wait.
“fathers shouldn’t document heroin use on forums their kids will read archives of someday”
Why the fuck not? It seems to me like kids who are given the truth are much better adjusted than those who are fed lies their whole lives, only to have the truth thrust upon them all at once when they turn 18. “Hey, I don’t know shit about the real world or my parents, but now that I’m 18, I’m gonna go kill me some babies on behalf of THE United States government. I know what’s goin’ on!” Most kids are smart enough to know that getting an anti-drug message from someone who’s actually used drugs is far more meaningful than getting it from someone who lies and says they’ve never done them or worst of all someone who has truthfully never taken drugs.
Gee, and here I was thinking that the article is actually a blanket statement which argues that men still have some function in the world outside of donating sperm and lifting heavy items, yet in reality, its real purpose is to attempt to make fatherhood appear to be “where it’s at.” Interesting.
ditto on the strange numbers.
I think its funny that you really are showing your “south park conservative” stripes.
Despite that I totally agree with this post. I had no dad growing up. At first I wanted to be a really really really good dad, now that I am close to thirty I am starting to see that maybe kids ‘aint for me.
Niggaz dont give a fuck about daddies and people dont even realize how important they are
Beautiful, I point out that the figures on which this whole missive is grounded are dubious and that makes me a shrill, Volvo-driving feminazi who refers to all men as “sperm donors.”
For the record I agree that fatherhood is where it’s at and Murphy Brown-style “power moms” are a crock of shit. I also think that they make up a tiny (albeit irritatingly vocal) sliver of the single parent community and that the vast majority of single moms owe their singleness to circumstances such as dead husband, shitty father, shitty themselves, and occasionally one-night-stand babies. I also also think that nobody has given a shit on either side of the single-mom divide since the advent Grunge and that you should focus your rage on the real scourge of decent childrearing: Fagdads. And also check your stats before you go live.
I agree with most of this & most of the comments. And the thing about Catholics is that they breed like rats (I’m #5 of 7), but there is a helluva huge support network in their (I’m also mega lapsed) parishes. Generations of Catholics will live in the same neighborhood, and everyone in your neighborhood is basically your surrogate parent and will beat your ass if you step outta line. Been there!
“The problem is just the reverse: Too many abusive fathers are present in nuclear households terrorizing children and mothers.” -Phillipe Bourgois, smart man.
The problem is with society putting burden of raising children on the individual- obviously mostly on women. Like they say, it takes a village. Two people will fuck it up worse than just one. Thats why kids have a favourite parent, and say “I wanna live with mom/dad!” when their parents break up.
In my entire life I’ve met two good fathers. tops.
Honestly, this site often hurts my feelings
My dad is a post-post-post-post adolescent druggie mess. My stepfather called one day from a business trip and said he was never coming back.
I’m finding it difficult to believe that many women have kids purposely without partners. Men, society, etc. count on women being natural child caregivers, and they are left as the sole parent when their partners leave, or cannot act like parents.
That said, the pressure to raise a couple of kids by yourself, while working full time and going to night school, and being abandoned by two husbands takes it’s toll on you; my mom became an abusive, psycho bitch.
But what about adoption? Foster care? Surely these kids are better off in households than state homes (assuming that they are being cared for out of genuine parental feeling, and not the desire to collect $ from the state…)?
@ at the clarifier
Research is clear on how many are divorced and how many are widows etc. The fact remains a million women a year CHOOSE to be single mothers. Of the 10 million single parents out there 2.4 million of them chose to be that way. I think it’s fair to call them stupid bitches.
24% are women who never married
58% of single parent families are headed by divorced or separated mothers
7% widows
8.4% divorced dads
1.5% never married dads (though this figure has been listed as high as 3%)
0.9% widowers
Also, the thing about nuclear households being hell was proven to be wrong in the article.
i kinda think that having a good and present father is more important than having a mom. granted, having a fucked up mom will mess you up way more than having a shitty dad( unless he like, touches u or something) but having a good dad/ no mom seems to create less shitty people than good mom/no dad. i wonder why that is… could it be because the masculine ideal has become so hard to attain i.e . strong but sensitive, can change a diaper and a tire, can hug a baby and through a punch, never complains about eating pussy, that unless we have someone to directly model it for them children are doomed to have a warped perception of manhood and the boys will be drunks and the girls will be sluts?
is vane$$a a boy or a girl…and does the dolla signs mean it’s a jewish person, or is it just trying to be funny – Only gavin knows for sure right!
Its feelings are hurt. Why. it’s the internet.
My feelings are not hurt. I didn’t write that. I just woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Besides, there’s something important that I’m supposed to do today but I just can’t remember what it is. FUCK.
And yes I am partially Jewish but the $ signs mean that I’m money.
According to Christianity God invented a world where we’re supposed to collectively worship Him, not the namesake babies of said boomers.
I agree with Gavin 100%. The left seem to pride themselves on destroying everything our society once stood for. they always search for a new person to fight for and be the underdog. jews, blacks, gays, muslims, latinos etc etc etc. any form of white christian male assertiveness is seen as so oppressive and tyrannical that it is discouraged at every level of society. women are taught that they dont need men blah blah blah and so on.
ann coulter (though i hate her) was absolutely right on this point, that the people who constantly play the victims are the actual aggressors in society. “oohh poor me my life sucks and it’s SOCIETY’S fault. it couldnt possibly be me, so gimme gimme gimme!!!” total bs.
i thought psychologists studies were pretty clear that two parents households are much better for children than single parents? thought this debate was taking care of years ago but i guess not
my family was abonded by my father when I was about 10 years old, never heard from him or seen him again. and it did fuck up both me and my brother. in high school i was a nervous wreck but im over it now. in either case it played a huge role is fucking us up.
but one thing that came from it is that i now want to be the dad that mine never was and be a good father to my kids. i guess its all what you make of your situation.
Old Man Mcinnes is clearly leaning to the nurture side of things today.
Appears gay.

Mom Blogs – Blogs for Moms…
…
I used to feel sorry for girls without dads. Then they’d go on about about their dad sucks and cheated on their mom yknow then I felt sorry for them for THEIR dads. My dad roolz. He sneaks me money and when I’d do a wrong thing when I was younger I’d tell him first nd he’d try to fix it then tell mom a week or so later so she’d yell at both of us. It’s gross when girls try to find a bf who is exactly like their dad, but having a dad as a positive bro who will defend your mistakes and teach you how to ride a bike and take you out driving after you get your g1 and will always play frisbee and take you to the driving range and assure you that you don’t need to take shit from any boy and tell you that bathing suit is too small and if things don’t work out you can always come home.
“My fellow New Yorkers think a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle but if you ask most young girls if they’d prefer a dad over a new bike, I’m guessing they’d choose the former. If they wouldn’t. They’d be wrong.”
I tend to find 90+% of all the political/social stuff that Gavin writes to be lapsing in taste at best and nakedly repulsive at worst, but this was actually pretty strong. And yeah, as some one else said, it is majorly FOR TEH WIN that you’re using statistics to back up your point. Refreshing, coming from the Vice-SBTVC / neoconservative front brigade.
xxxxxxx
Gavyballs-
Loved this piece. I agree that kids are effed without having a decent father (or stepfather). Also agree that having a kid just because you want one is incredibly irresponsible and self-indulgent, no matter how “loving” you think it is, but if you are blaming single mothers for so much damage to our culture and economy, you are basically Ann Coulter. Did you read her book? Bitch is smart but crazed. And as much as you would love to be a woman for a day (all guys have thought about it at least once), you wouldn’t want to be her. She probably takes the most turgid shits and bleeds black. Hate her, not you. Good article.
Gavin is NOT endorsing a Right wing position to the problems in what he sees in the Left’s ideology which is to pity these women for not using the CHOICE they had liberals fought so hard for.
I completely see the flaw where the Left generally likes the idea single mothers should get welfare and need to be uplifted from their situation even as some knowingly put themselves there.
Just consider maybe abortion shouldn’t be a CHOICE. Abortion should be MANDATORY. Some people shouldn’t be allowed to breed. The right wing are also completely retarded in this respect because they are also guilty of endorsing single parenthood because of their stance on abortion. Sometimes I think the Chinese aren’t so backwards after all.
^ instead of abortions wouldn’t it just b easier to sterilize them? plus hows a korean gonna go hatin on china men. North koreans r like 15x crazier than the chinese.
good read…psych! not goin’ near it. comments too. too long fuckers.
@red/gavin
“never married” doesn’t equal “chose to be a spunky, empowered single mom who doesn’t need a man to help her make it through today’s world.”
I’m sure there are some of those cunts in there, but there are also plenty of women who got knocked up by their boyfriend or a coworker or some rando(s), told the father about it, and then waved their hands through the father-shaped dust cloud he created as he bolted out the door. There are also those who got knocked up by someone really dumb or awful, decided against abortion for whatever reason, and are holding out hope that they’ll nail down a decent husband before they go completely to seed.
@Taeil
Single moms haven’t been an active part of the Left’s ideology since Quayle was in office. You might as well be writing about what kooks those nuclear disarmament activists are. You want to hit the real throbbing artery of their dumb views on family, I said it before: Fagdads.
Its not that the left thinks single mothers are great, but rather its the right that kind of blames them for a lot of our problems. I think they are correct and the left underestimates the importance of this issue. Too bad, because the right gets to decide how the argument is made for two parent households, and it has all sorts of weird anti-gay anti-abortion crap mixed up in it. That doesn’t help make a very good argument, which is maybe partly why this problem isn’t going away.
pregnant chicks are hot
When i was in grade 11, there was a discussion instigated by my female, single, homely, virgin, 38 year old teacher as to whether she should be able to adopt children or have some kind of fertility treatments done. (why she is asking a room full of 17 year olds this question, i have no idea) Most of the class a. didn’t care b. weren’t paying attention c. said “sure, why not”. I felt it was necessary to tell her that her inability to develop an adult relationship and have sex, was reason enough why she shouldn’t have a child. I told her it was natural selection. If she couldn’t establish a relationship with another man and have a baby, she doesn’t have the skills necessary to raise another human being. She was pretty pissed…
O B A M A
Gavin, you’re developing your troll-fu with great speed and skill.
Soon you will graduate to writing op-eds in the Regina Leader-Post about why you don’t like natives, then death. Godspeed.
“I completely see the flaw where the Left generally likes the idea single mothers should get welfare and need to be uplifted from their situation even as some knowingly put themselves there. Just consider maybe abortion shouldn’t be a CHOICE. Abortion should be MANDATORY.”
Yeah, and we should have started by having your mom abort you, you crazy gook.
gavins cute for caring about babies
me likey. All us bleeding-heart liberal believe in birth control, right? saving our wombs for the right time… meaning two parents present (not necessarily a man & a woman, of course!) so I don’t know why this article would upset anyone. that being said, when i had a pregnancy scare a few years ago, sans daddy, I wanted to keep it. I was afraid if I got an abortion, I would get some curse that would render me infertile when I really wanted one. Anyway. Stick a rubber on it (and use plan b if it breaks) everytime! Right? It amazes me how some of my otherwise-educated friends go without protection… even more debilitating that the fear of pregnancy would be the fear of HIV, for me. We’re not in college anymore.
that vane$$a’s dad walked out on him/her… thus the crazyness
WELL I DEFINATELY SEE THAT THEIR’S TWO SIDE’S TO THIS ARGUEMENT, ON THE ONE HAND WE HAVE GAVIN MACINES WITH HIS FACT’S AND FIGURE’S, ON THE OTHER HAND WE HAVE IDIOT FUCKSLUT’S WHO GOT KNOCKED UP WIHTOUT A CONDEM AND THINKS THE WORLD OWES THEM A COCA COLA. AND OF COARSE HERE COMES THE BLEEDING-HARD LIB’S WITH MORE OF THEY’RE TEABAGGING PROTEST’S.
WELL IT JUST GOES TO SHOW THAT WITH ONE CLICK OF A SINGAL MOUSE-BUTTON YOU CAN START A DIGITAL REVOLUTION OF ONE’S AND ZERO’S ON THE INTERNET, I MEAN ALL GAVIN MACINES HAD TO DO WAS CLICK HIS MOUSE-BUTTON AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE HARRICANE IS STARTING, I THINK WE ARE IN THE EYE OF IT NOW, EVERY THING IS CALM, BUT IT IS PASSING OVER US NOW AND THE WIND IS STARTING TO BLOW ONCE, AGAIN!
That’s a great article Gavin. It is good to know that there are still people who will write well on subjects deemed untouchable.
i forsee babies being cool to the hip kids.
first the article about the “right time” to have a kid and now this?
Eh, I dunno. Most of the people I know are from single-mum households and we’re generally alright. My dad died so me mum didn’t have much choice… two good parents is obviously ideal, but we don’t live in an ideal world.
Deep, huh?
I liked reading this.
Maybe we should ban together and force girls to start taking birth control until they are ready to settle down and get serious. Hey, it could even help me get a seat on the 7 because we all know that the single 19 year old mom toting along her 4 kids is uncool. No idea how she managed to do that one alone four times.

“I agree with Gavin 100%. The left seem to pride themselves on destroying everything our society once stood for. they always search for a new person to fight for and be the underdog. jews, blacks, gays, muslims, latinos etc etc etc. any form of white christian male assertiveness is seen as so oppressive and tyrannical that it is discouraged at every level of society. women are taught that they dont need men blah blah blah and so on.”
yea, you’re goddamn right any sign of christian male assertiveness is seen as oppressive. you should be kicked in the dick.. wtf? women aren’t taught they don’t need men. women are taught (by experience with men!!) that they will be cheated on, theyll lose their bodys and MINDS raising some guys kids only to be replaced for a younger hotter model, and theyll just have to deal with it. Now, i’m not saying that single motherhood is ok, but its something that happens.
Gavin, what if at some point when you were on drugs and cheating on your your wife she had gotten pregnant. You think you guys would still be together?? Probably not, she would’ve gotten fed up with your bullshit and HAD NO OTHER CHOICE but to do it on her own. you can’t blame just the mothers, because really ITS THE MEN FUCKING UP. no woman wants to do it alone, dont be stupid. if you should know one thing about most women (exception: lesbians, objectum sexuals, and like that 1% power bitch demographic) is that WE WANT A (good) MAN. but most of you are boys..
p.s. we should give men the birth control.
most women have 1-2 children, while men have either none to double digits.
men are the wildcards here.
its you guys fucking up. ok.
“Yeah, and we should have started by having your mom abort you, you crazy gook.”
I’m 22. I think there are laws against aborting me right now dude. Jesus, why don’t you join the Church of Euthanasia?
http://www.churchofeuthanasia.org/
abortion is murder, let’s not forget that. it really is but we’d rather murder than have single mothers walking around. they’re such a drag. every guy on this board has probably been a daddy a couple times over by now. now they’re dads of dead babies. sad.
I love how you veer between making honest observations to being so stupid that either CPS should take your kids or you have some google-ad revenue consultant on the SBTC payroll who just repeats at meetings “I know I say this at every meeting, but just do another fucking blog entry that is nonsensical and offensive, you’ll get two thousand dollars,” (and in my mind, Gavin is just sweating bullets like “I hate writing the moron pieces, but baby needs a new cane.”).
^^^you shoulda seen how he bitched and complained about ponying up the money it took to get me killed from mommy’s belly.
@vane$$a
you’re a fucking idiot.
@anna
you’re 10,000% right.
@gavin
after bitching me anonymously out in a recent post, i have finally found an ounce of respect what you’re trying to convey. only problem is that you said it from a place without any experience or merit.
i.e. i was FUCKED by having split parents. i mean FUCKED. they’ve been so spiteful for the past 20 years, and both of them turned into completely neglectful addicts. you are young, gav, you never know what can happe. when my mom happily swung me in the park at 30, she didn’t know that she’d be staggering around a park with the DTs 12 years later. my mom is a ceo level genius-oid person, with an abusive black side nobody can understand.
don’t take yourself for granted. life is too tricky to judge yourself righteous.
this is a good, intelligent, well written post. the whole time i was reading it, i thought that blognigger wrote it.
my mom was a single parent, and there was a time I would’ve disagreed with all of this, but (while my mother had no choice but to raise me herself and was an excellent parent) I realized recently just how much having no father has fucked me up.
it’s the kind of thing that does that – comes to bite you in the ass later – so to the single mothers who think that it’s okay… maybe your kid seems fine now, but in a couple of years she’ll end up in ‘relationships’ where she is treated like utter shit, which she will take repeatedly, and semi-gratefully because for a minute there, she almost felt like she was worth something. which is among other issues, and yeah everyone’s a little different but that feeling in general is par for the course.
understanding this, it is ridiculous to me that a mother could have the opportunity to give her kid a father, and not fucking take it. I don’t care how much time, or love, or money you have or don’t have or whatever to give to a child, you are NOT all it needs. so yeah. to the women who actively, enthusiastically choose to bring a child into this world without doing absolutely everything you can to see that there is a father for that child? fuck you.
(however if they tried their best but the father is either fucking useless or gone, that’s either his fault, or just a really shitty situation)
Did you have a wank after you wrote the italicized portions about your great parenting?
Never met a single bad father, actually. However, almost every single mother I’ve met, nonsingle moms mind you, were worthless pieces of shit that made life worse for their kids, based on how messed up they are themselves. This in turn with knowing so many other females who were shockeningly retarded… well, yeah.
I’m not saying my STATEMENT proves anything, just sharing my perspective.
At least I have an excuse for my alcoholic tendencies.
