While we wait for you to provide the evidence for this, why do you think that "illegitimate" means the same as "no father present"?

To be fair, s/he said "Why do many American men refer to their wife's as their "boss"?"

I'm still waiting for an answer to the question "his wife's what?".

It appears you signed on to BE just to participate in this particular thread. Me thinks you are an imposter and are really an already signed on member looking to wind things up further.

Indeed. Perhaps Manson would have had a better life if his father had stepped up to his responsibilities and not abandoned his child.



You'll have to provide some proof to support that statement. But I'm not sure why you even mention it though because the majority of the prison population are neither mass shooters nor serial killers. The goal posts keep shifting.
Since the beginning of times it has been the woman's responsibility to choose a decent father for her child, as with an absent father she will be left with the child. You just want to neglect responsibility.

No they are not the same but obviously illegitimate children are far more likely to have single mothers or stepfathers (who are often abusive to young children), you argue this pointless point as you have no counter argument.

Might I point out that it's difficult to become pregnant without a father?
