Why is "Fatherless" Used as a Insult?

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

I agree that calling someone fatherless is corny cause the only thing that matters is you have a positive male figure in your life, it don't have to be your father. Lotta brehs out here are simps cause they modeled themselves from their dad. I mean look at Steph Curry as an example

I agree to an extent..
You can have all the strong, reliable male figures in your life..
Even have a step father like Shaq..
But in the back of your mind..
The question of why wasn’t my real father in my life..
Will linger..
Your biological fathers’ voice is needed in life..
Especially between the ages of 12-21..
He is supposed to be the one to guide with your..
Confidence..
Controlling your emotions..
Problem solving skills..
How to deal with women..
Work ethic..
My pops was never around..
He would do the little “check in” every now and then..
And I always had OGs telling me right from wrong..
Or..
Trying to keep me out the streets..
It worked..
I ways very fortunate to know them(they have since passed)..
But I still battle with anger and other fukked up feelings..
That I’m dealing with in therapy..
Having to learn how to navigate the world by yourself..
Especially as a black man..
Is rough..
I had an amazing mother but a woman can only teach/supply you so much..
And women shouldn’t take that as a slight but it’s just hardcore facts..
Just like I can’t teach my daughter everything about how to be a woman..

OP....."b*stard child" has been an insult for centuries, across cultures.....you acting like this is new .... Game of Thrones was all about b*stards rising to the ranks of power and respect.

Plenty of boys without an at home or involved father have turned into remarkable men in the past and today.

"Fatherless" is just a more direct form of "b*stard". Its suppose to be an insult, but it really means nothing.....its what you do with the cards you were dealt, including making it easier for those dealt your same cards.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Because usually a man without a father FIGURE (notice i didn't fully say without a father) tends to act like a bytch about certain subjects.

Not saying a woman can’t raise a strong man and not saying every man with a father is strong either. But they tend to do things hoes would do, even if they’re pretending to be tough.

 

[I Really Mean It]

Because most of the fukk ups in the black community are fatherless. That’s why. Don’t like it? Be a father to your child.

It (usually) implies the person is bytchmade because he wasn't raised properly. It can also refer to being morally bankrupt

They know good and goddamn well that's what it means. Talking about only cacs say this or no one says it in real life. They big mad in here.

Its dumb, because the person had/has no control on whether their father stayed in their lives.

Have you seen his mama? I would simp for her too.

That woman is bad. How did he simp though?

 

[Eddy Gordo]

Because it implies yo Dad wasn't shyt for leaving. So you come from a line of ain't shyt men and poor decision making women.

But yo pops new you and ya mama wasn't shyt so thats why he left.

Triple entendre of insults

 

[Eddy Gordo]

Idk.
Ask the poster I quoted.
Whatever he did I'm gonna try that.

 

[Solo ✧✦✧]

Because of how confused and emotional a lot of dudes without Fathers act.

Eh... He'll see it.

 

[Don Mack]

It’s due to how a lot of emotional dudes act on this site. They tend to hate on people more successful than them for no good reason.
