I think it's quite dishonest to present this data as "2/5 men are raised without a father." I simply do not believe that claim. Maybe my perception of the country is detached from reality so please correct me if my intuition is wrong.
Yeah that's pretty rough at 23%. But still, I think it'd be a stretch to infer that all those children are being raised by one person. Many parents are divorced, but still actively participate in raising their child.
Further, some of those 23% are bound to be temporary situations. My initial gut reaction to your link just says "whenever this census was conducted 23% of minors had only one adult in the house."
Not trying to downplay the issue of single motherhood, but the statistics available just seem fuzzy.
The study he sites at https://www.statista.com/statistics/276025/us-percentage-of-... is titled "Percentage of births to unmarried women in the United States from 1980 to 2019"
