I don't have the statistics on hand, but WWII killed a awful lot of fathers, leaving single mothers raising essentially an entire generation. That was probably where it got its jump start.
I'd honestly lay a lot of the blame on the rise of single moms. Blame men leaving women. Blame women leaving men. Blame whatever. You can argue over all of those till the end of time but regardless of how it happened, the last few decades have shown kids aren't meant to be raised by a single parent and if they are raised by one it definitely shouldn't be by the mom (and that's assuming the mom's actually parenting.)
the "jump start" is the people who push this are the same people who the fathers fought for in ww2.
