Amid the debate on Jim Iyke’s statement about single mothers, one biased comment read: “Single father can raise both male and female. Single mothers can’t no matter how you want to see it.” This is a clear double standard. Parenting challenges exist for both genders—neither single fathers nor single mothers have it perfectly easy. Many single fathers struggle with nurturing daughters, just as single mothers may struggle with raising sons, yet both can succeed with love, discipline, and support systems. To dismiss single mothers entirely while glorifying single fathers is unfair and fuels gender bias. Good parenting depends on values, not gender.
