Ann I'll give you that approximately 50% of marriages end up in divorce.
However, those children are more likely to have a court remedy in child support
orders and even survivor benefits from SS, should one parent die.And at least
they can be shuffled from one parent to the other or to grandparents etc. The
*bastard* child, as you put it, has far less.The sociological studies I've
seen, give a child raised by a single mother, a far greater chance of ending in
trouble with the law(jail or prison) and never reaching their potential, than
one raised by both parents. A mother's love rarely makes up for the discipline
and guidance a male gets from his father or close male relative. Yes, of course
a mother can be authoritarian but not usually as effective without the father
to back her up. I saw a story a while back about young male elephants and how
once they reached puberty, they began rampaging, bullying and being quite
destructive around the cows and their very young, as well as other species such
as Rhinoceros, even killing them. The game wardens took a bunch of these young
upstarts and moved them away from the cows and in among a group of mature
adult male elephants. The older males read the younger ones the riot act very
quickly and put them in the appropriate pecking order, subduing their hormones
and consequent actions. The cows couldn't do that. A balanced order was
achieved. Older males have a powerful affect over younger ones. Now consider
that 70-80% of African/American males grow up in single mother households.
White and Hispanics are *trying* to catch up to this stat but are less than
half that. It's no wonder so many young black males end up in trouble
with the law. This was not the case in the early or mid sixties when black
families were much more stable.

have a family. We have all these wonderful social programs to make up the
difference. Except a high percentage of those kids grow up troubled without the
traditional authority figures in a home.
I think you are assuming too much, Mike. About 50% of marriages, whether the
children were born before or after the nuptials, end in divorce. This means
that children are then shuffled between two different parents and/or raised by
at least one step parent or go to live either exclusively with one parent or
another. Having "bastard" children is hardly the only reason for kids growing
up "troubled without the traditional authority figures in a home." Of course,
this lack of "authority" implies women aren't able to assume an authoritarian
role as a parent, that you need a man. You can imagine what I think of that! LOL
