it's good that people are taking steps to help the boys and girls that grow up with only one parent. especially with the statistics showing how poorly they compare to children from two parent homes in issues like poverty and mental health.

[–]win10helpme3 208ポイント209ポイント  (11子コメント)

Glad to see this upvoted. The statistics on single-parent children aren't talked about enough

[–]whyawoman 52ポイント53ポイント  (2子コメント)

they aren't. i grew up in an abusive no-parent home and it really sucked. it was a real struggle to get out of the PTSD mindset, and it's difficult finishing anything. i'm 23 and want my BA but i got so little attention that everything seems frightening and nothing seems possible.

i was also put into a program for "troubled kids" but didn't fit in because of my severe PTSD. feeling anxious when talked to, wanting to cry if someone got upset. it's serious shit.

so yeah. more statistics on single- and no-parent homes please. and by "no-parent" i mean that there are parents, but they're never there and/or they take on a neglectful/abusive role.

[–][deleted] 13ポイント14ポイント  (1子コメント)

I grew up in very much the same type of situation and I'm a train wreck when it comes to trying to be a functional adult. That point you made about finishing things really rang true to me and I wish I understood it better or had any type of tools or methods someone like me could use to work past whatever it is that convinces me that everything is hopeless, not worth the effort that gets to feel degrading and painful so often.

[–]whyawoman 8ポイント9ポイント  (0子コメント)

what i learned is that patience with yourself is what really matters. you have to find it in you to look at the face of the child hurting inside of you and say, "it wasn't your fault, i love you, and we'll be OK."

doing that has been helpful for me, so has telling basically everyone about my problems! you would be surprised how much people will want to really help you if you open up and say "i experienced this, it's done that to me". it helps if you have a doctor's note but that should be very easy to get if you spend at least an hour with a psych telling them about your experiences.

if you need support you can PM me, too! i don't have it all worked out, but i've discovered a few ways to make life less frightening for myself

Obviously this isn't just a black issue, but it's a much larger problem amongst the black demographic.

There's a huge political coverup in general when it comes to the major problems in black America, due in no small part to the fact that if you do bring the issues up, you're labeled a racist. The left relies on the black demographic for votes, so they do their best to never say anything that could be remotely construed as negative or criticism.

Hell even when Hillary is sitting there whining about gun control, she cares more about banning $3,000 rifles, but hasn't uttered a word about the intense gang-related handgun violence that has put 'firearm homicide' in the top five causes of death for black males. It's ridiculous.

[–]melonmonkey 52ポイント53ポイント  (0子コメント)

The problem is that discussions like this inherently create racist tendencies. It is absolutely vital to retain the distinction that while black people are more likely to have these issues, it isn't because they're black. It's because they are often born into harmful cultural groups and are often born into poverty.

It's so easy to say these truths, but when you use the simplification "black people have higher rates of single parent households than other demographics", it becomes incredibly easy to start making race generalizations. You can only have a discussion such as "crime rates in the black demographic" when your focus group is very aware of the bigger picture.

I think the bigger issue is the Neanderthal divorce law that forces minimum contact with the father etc. So it's a black and women thing a topic couldn't be more radioactive

[–]wanderer779 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

it's almost like they are more concerned with getting rifles out of the hands of people so that they can't fight against the government than they are with people's safety.

[–]HuggyBear_ 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't think it's that complex. The rifle thing is just a cop-out to get away from the actual issues behind gun violence.

[–]occupythekitchen 5ポイント6ポイント  (1子コメント)

Yep because it makes single moms look bad

[–]win10helpme3 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

Exactly. The narrative is supposed to be that they are strong, independent, brave women who don't need men... Completely ignoring the importance of a father figure for either a boy or a girl. And of course, they are rarely independent. The financial burden simply switches from men to the government... which gets its money from taxing men anyway.

Also, the narrative is very busy removing any personal responsibility or choice from the single moms. As if their baby just "happened to them", almost kinda blaming the freaking child. Instead of, say, their failure of using protection during sex.

[–]Gnometard 8ポイント9ポイント  (2子コメント)

It's not only single parents, those of us who grew up in a working poor situation saw our fathers about as often as those without fathers

[–]Mrmojoman0 6ポイント7ポイント  (1子コメント)

i think some of the difference is that having only one parent, in the same poor situation you would see zero of one parent, and even less of the other because they are supporting the working poor situation as a single parent.

an anecdotal example is how i grew up with my mother, but we were so poor, the only times she was home were either spent on chores or sleep. so ontop of having little freedom as a poor child (couldn't afford extracurricular activities like other kids) there was also almost no parental interaction, and the one parent supporting the household was under even more stress and anxiety, which caused more tension within the household. so less access to friends and activities, less interaction with any parent, and more stress and emotional instability within the household.

i hope you can see the ways living with a single parent can exacerbate the situation even further.

but i agree that either way, the poor have it worse as far as family interaction is concerned.

[–]Gnometard 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

I definitely understand. My best friend in high school was the oldest son of a single mother. He and I both started working full time at 16 to help our families and buy things like school supplies and clothes.

    This is something which is often overlooked by those obsessed with the virtually useless current notion of privilege. "White privilege" is practically myth compared to two-parent privilege. It's useful to look at things that actually make a difference socially when considering these things, like one's upbringing rather than the colour of one's skin, which SJWs are strangely obsessed with.

          Can I point out the significance of the line "I've done this with the girls at my school"? This is important because I think r/MensRights is really about equality for all genders, and if something like this can inspire someone to do something similar for the opposite gender, then it must be a good thing. There's no bias here. It's not 'men must be gentlemen cause girls are already ladies'. It's a teacher taking interest in teaching children how to be respectable.

          [–]French_Mustache 15ポイント16ポイント  (5子コメント)

          I'm curious what they could teach the girls? I'm a single mother to a young girl, and I have all of the girl-things covered. My dad was a long-haul truck driver, so while we had a steady male figure in our upbringing, he wasn't present most of the time to teach us things.

          I would like to know, so I can encourage the male figures in her life to teach her those skills/lessons.

          [–]minimim 30ポイント31ポイント  (0子コメント)

          One important thing is just being used to be around men. I mean, a girl that isn't used to it might get intimidated by it later in life.

          Here is a blogpost about a paper on it: http://freakonomics.com/2011/10/19/fathers-and-delinquency-in-the-american-family/

          [–]Zumbert 17ポイント18ポイント  (0子コメント)

          Some of the stuff isn't gender specific, girls should know how to change a tire and check their oil levels etc just as much as boys. On another note girls are looking at male role models to see how they treat women, that defines what they see as normal for intergender relations both romantic and not and sets the boundaries for what they will find acceptable in future male friends/ boyfriends.

          [–]occupythekitchen 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

          Show how a man should act when there isn't attraction there. Make her see that men are different than boys in the end it's just to give them an idea of how adults behave

          [–]Black_caped_man 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

          I suggest listening to some of Warren Farrell's stuff about parenting etc. Sure it's mostly focused on boys but there is a fair bit about both genders of children there. He talks a lot about the role that men usually fills in parenting and it can give some good insight.

          The biggest thing though is that she spends time with men growing up. There are things we learn from exposure that can't really be taught any other way. We observe how people talk, how they carry themselves, even the small micro-expressions etc. This will make her more experienced and understanding of male behavior and make her more comfortable around men in general.

            While it's good that they have tried to do something similar for girls I still don't see the point of having these seperate clubs, it's just perpetuating that certain skills are for wo/men only and can only be taught by wo/men to wo/men. There's nothing intrinsically masculine about shaking hands, eye contact, or formalwear (and, in modern society, they aren't as important skills as this guy seems to think)

              A token character is a character that is solely there so people won't get offended. A token black guy is the guy that's only there for diversity. The black kid in South Park is named Token, as he's the only black main character.

              Token is the token black kid. There were various black characters in the show at any time, but Token was the designated token black kid.

              Chef hasn't been on the cast in a long time. And he wasn't a "main" character, whereas Token is a frequent part of the main cast.

              Maybe he was just the token black child. He was a peer, not a mentor, so they could use Token in different plotlines.

              I'm guessing that someone complained the only black character was chef about 15 years ago and they added token to "appease" them. They've actually done a lot of good stuff playing off it. His family is the opposite of every black stereotype. he's rich, well educated, and bused in to the school for diversity quotas.

              [–]Pulped_Fetus 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

              Chef also became as much of a part of the cast as Token there for a season or two. Then he joined the super adventure club.

                              Good, young boys really need a father figure in their life, and if they can't get one from home, than it's really nice that the teachers are being there for them.

                              He's arguably having a greater positive impact on these kids lives than the whole education system will for their whole time they're there.

                              Fantastic idea. It's amazing how a little effort with a young child can have huge repercussions on their lives

                              Wasn't there something similar to this in Australia? A woodworking group for men and boys? If i remember correctly it got shut down because of fear of pedophiles. I wonder if we will see a repeat with this.

                              This type of thing is a lot more common than it seems. A lot of schools will get some of the boys together once a week or so and have them do basically a more grown up version of this.

                              This is really great. It's grassroots ideas and things like this that really change the world and he is making a positive impact on these boys life. Having good self-esteem and a positive sense of self-worth goes far.

There's so much about being a man that moms can only guess at. Also, there's so much that, even if taught by mom, has more impact coming from a man.

                              Kudos to this school.

                              If people really have an issue with this comment then I hope we (the community) can talk about it. I feel there is a big problem in society with people forgoing gender equality because they are taught that women are delicate flowers to be taken care of, or just plain smarter than men and to be revered. Those two notions are not compatible with true gender equality, and are very unfortunately pushed into the heads of boys at an early age like a bad religious doctrine.

                              Nobody has it "worse". Let's just agree that PEOPLE, whatever their gender, should be taught to be respectful and kind.

                              The original comment was about the specific idea of chivalry and how, paraphrasing: men are taught to treat women like a higher caste than themselves.

                              I would also like to bring up the Dove Quest for Real Beauty Commercials: a company has built a successful ad campaign off of a self esteem campaign for women that do not fit the ideal of beauty, this has been a present and vocal attitude since at least as far back as the 90's. Women with body image issues have popular and prevalent advertisements geared toward making them feel better about themselves. I have a hard time thinking of a commercial that addresses the notion that men must be chivalrous toward women.

                                Brings to mind the idea that teaching these boys at an older age how to change diapers/care for kids would be better for changing the next generation than teaching them to tie a tie. Teaching young men to be good parents and that they have value as such would be a bigger influence of change in my opinion, than how to shake hands.

                                  Regarding teachers, how many "good" teachers did you come across as you made your way through K-12 (or K-post secondary/grad school)?

                                  Looking back, the only time I had a teacher actually give a damn was way back in Grade 8. I was a late bloomer or what-have-you: short and shy type. And the kids in my class would pick on me, but because of my size they got away with some crazy stuff that I hope aren't tolerated any more (but who am i kidding?) like one time I spent recess being held up by my neck while everybody just watched.

                                  The nicer kids eventually pressured me to tell the teacher, and he ripped the kid a new asshole. Compare this to every other teacher since who would have not only looked the other way but wouldn't have bothered to make sure I was okay. This teacher also took the time to have one on one talks with me, prepped me about puberty, and was all around awesome. We would all visit him every so often after we headed off to high school.

                                  Sometimes I wonder how much more cynical I would be about schools had this teacher not shown up. I've had my share of very competent teachers who gave a damn, but nobody has stepped up like this guy.

                                  On the one hand this is good. On the other you have to ask: what has happened to our treatment of men's roles in raising the future of humanity that these boys need surrogate father figures (or rather, their mothers need them to have such men in their lives)?

                                  EDIT: Doesn't seem to be completely good after all, as that guy you simps don't want to listen to has pointed out.

                                  What a great idea! This is something that could really help black culture in America. Fatherless boys and girls is such a terrible epidemic for the black culture in America. Things like this is how blacks can really fix their culture. It wold be cool if there was a way to donate to causes like this posted on here.
