Involved fathers decreases bullying

What makes a bully become a bully?

Perception of Time Spent With Fathers Can Lead to Bullying via Science Daily

Mothers' work hours showed modest to no effect on bullying behavior. Christie-Mizell believes this is because children perceive mothers as being more accessible because they still handle most of the responsibilities at home as caregivers and family managers.

"The findings about fathers and mothers are important because it turns what most of us think is conventional wisdom -- that mothers have the most influence on children -- on its ear. What this research shows is that while it's equally important for kids to spend time with both parents, fathers need to make an extra effort," he said.

  1. Yet another scientific study proponents of neutering marriage avoid. Just like for run-of-the-mill flat-earther, neutered marriage supporters aren't interested in fact or science. There is no amount of science that will convince the any-two-adults True Believers pushing neutered marriage on the rest of us that there are, indeed, measurable differences between mothering and fathering.
