I thought this  opinion was well written, balanced and accurate.  I did not like the title and entered into reading a little defensive.       I tragically became a single father of a 5 year old girl nine years ago.  The experience has taught me much about myself.  I think i have done a pretty good job but I am cognizant of the fact that my daughter was raised very differently than had her mother been around.  Part of that was the things that were needed that I was never socialized to know about and had to learn (I can now braid hair...kind of).  Part were things that were genetic like conflict resolution.  Other single parents likely faced different hurdles but in my individual experience this article described it well.  It does beg the reverse question however.  While I don't doubt there is gender discrimination in the workplace, I do wonder if at least some of the disparity in gender representation in male dominated careers does not arise from similar innate differences.
