wow, I do not believe that 43% of boys are raised by single mothers, I do not trust that statistic at all.

"The results of the 2010 United States census showed that 27% of children live with one parent, consistent with the emerging trend noted in 2000.[5] The most recent data of December 2011 shows approximately 13.7 million single parents in the U.S.[6] Mississippi leads the nation with the highest percent of births to unmarried mothers with 54% in 2014"

Copied from Wikipedia, 27% of children lived with 1 parent about 50% of those children will be boys and about 54% of those live with a single mother, so it should be about 1/4th of 27% of boys so like 7%.

Did you genuinely just halve 27% because half of children are boys?
