Ok, so let's say a woman ends up marrying an abusive (whether mentally or physically) man and decides to divorce him, she should forever be banished to life of being single? Same could be asked in the case of infidelity (the husband, not the wife)?

And should the single men with children, regardless of whether it was out of wedlock or who initiated the divorce, remain single as well?
Maybe it is chauvinistic. What isn't chauvinistic that comes out of a male's mouth in this day and age?

It's not that they should remain single, it is the most likely outcome in the immediate future.

I knew this girl had a child but I did not know what kind of parent she was, I think coming to her house was a good idea because I realized how much of a pushover she really is, basically a bad parent.

I really liked her little boy BUT even if I was willing to take the stepfather role, it would be way too stressful, arguing over her bad parenting, lack of common sense, consistency, etc.

She basically had a child with an illegal Mexican and the kid's Dad was deported to Mexico. And you were right, when I came to her house, I was expecting to get some but I think she was a bit ashamed of the fact that the kid probably sleeps with her, so she asked me to leave. I can't believe someone would allow a 3 year old child to be up until 12 am.

I wish it was only the fact that she has a kid BUT, there are several other red flags, NO THANKS!

We should respect their decisions and let them remain single.
This is one of the most ignorant chauvinistic statements I've ever heard. I divorced my husband. He was a liar, he drank, did meth, etc...and I got tired of it. So I should have to remain single the rest of my life? Give me a freakin' break. And where did you get your 30% from?

When you say "they", are you including the fathers as well?
