Why are women not learning the lesson?

Statistics:

In this article, I wanted to represent two different topics that are interconnected, hopefully it makes sense.

I found a study that shows having children by different fathers also known as multiple partner fertility was more common among minority women, with 59 percent of African American mothers, 35 percent of Hispanic mothers and 22 percent of white mothers with two or more children.

Women who were not living with a man when they gave birth and those with low income and less education were also more likely to have children by different men.

The study also found that multiple partner fertility is surprisingly common at all levels of income, education and is frequently tied to marriage and divorce rather than just single parenthood.

Why?

There are several reasons. As some of the male readers wanted me to mention, financial gain. While some do seek financial gain, 30% of women receive no child support at all.

Aside from previous failed marriages, becoming a widow etc. I want to talk about the why that some people aren’t talking about.
