As usual, @AnOminous has the right of it. However, this got me thinking - how universal is this? Are there any cows that were raised by a single dad? Any examples of a normal mom but a fucked-up dad contributing to somebody's lolcow status?

Well you know what they say: the apple doesn't fall far from the tree the lolcow doesn't wander too far from the farm.
Literally every lolcow on this site had some parent that didn;t understand how to raise a human. Either both parents are there and they're really backwards/oldfashioned or too progressive, the other situation is there's only one parent/guardian in the picture and are backwards/oldfashioned or too progressive.
Another common thing I see among these "parents" are that they neglect their cows a lot, spoiling them so that they leave them alone. JustinRPG's mother just let him use the internet and do whatever he wanted so she could go to car shows leaving Justin to becomes obsessed with some weird fetishes. She knows what he's doing but she just ignores it.

I feel that dad's have a really weird job when it comes to their kids, because it's largely a difficult and thankless task for them, but the tradeoff is that it's also really hard to fuck it up compared to being a mother. Dad's really just have to be there and not be pointlessly violent or completely insane, and kids are like "Ah, that's dad. He's there doing dad stuff".
For whatever reason, being a mom is a job that's a lot easier to accidentally fuck up and leave severe permanent scars. I think it's because kids learn lessons from their father, but they learn who to be from their mother, so every little hiccup as a mom has a chance to turn into a cascade of bad decisions that ends up with them punching cops or making sonic themed porn online or something.
It seems a larger percentage of lolcows are men, and it's so frequently tied back to a mother who did things that nurtured their inner weirdo. But the female lolcows that have parental issues also tend to wind up tying most things back to mommy, either becoming a carbon copy of them, or trying to be the exact opposite of them (and succeeding in spectacularly pathetic ways). Daddy issues tend to just make strippers and loners, but mommy issues get you a featured thread on a forum dedicated to laughing at idiots.

Yes, but now he's loldead. He was kind of a horrordad really.
He dun goofed
There was a period of 3 or 4 years were Bob was more or less raising Chris on his own. While they lived in Richmond, Barb stayed in Ruckersville to work and look after the house and would visit on weekends. The Farms likes to exalt Bob, but he was behind or at least supported at lot of dumb shit.
Wouldn't the exception be a single dad or a dad who's a primary caregiver (ie parents are divorced but dad spends more time with the kids, mom's always out, etc.)? Plus, with single dads it's either you respect or loathe (in the case of Tumblrinas) them.
I think mommy issues aren't really talked about because it's always expected that they don't exist (unless it's an Oedipus complex, which let's be honest is what most male lolcows seem to have). Moms are always supposed to be there for you, no matter what, so if you can trace something negative regarding yourself back to your mom it's usually met with shock. Daddy issues are much more common and just kind of expected, so people learn to "deal with it". Mommy issues just kind of ferment because there's usually nobody to be able to vent to without being vilified for not loving the person who gave birth to you.
No because now Dads are trying to be more Politically Correct and supportive to get more views on their shitty youtube and free likes on their facebook profile.
Good point...
A single father might have more put on them, but it doesn't really seem to warp kids the same way being raised by a bad mother does. The stats for increased crime rates in people raised by a single mother are pretty jaw dropping. Being raised by a single father leaves more emotions bundled up with the job they did, I believe that, but when mom isn't around, it's still just dad, hanging around and doing dad things.
I was going to expand my thoughts on why so many more lolcows are male, and you kind of touched on it for me. It seems everyone has an issue or two with their father, I don't think I know anyone who isn't at least a little angry at their dad about something he did or didn't do, so much so that it's weirder when that's not the case. But I think it's more likely to manifest as an issue directly with him as an individual, not as something that changes your own behavior.
But it's usually mommy that turns kids into troons and serial killers, and it's dad who either nips that shit in the bud or ignores it till it's too late, or who's just absentee altogether.
Being a bit off center, mentally, stands out less in women and is more likely to get hand waved away. Alison Rapp is a disgusting unwashed pedophile whore who doesn't even have the emotional capacity to love her dog (and if you can't love your own dog then there's something incredibly wrong with you). It's remarkable how little there is to like about her, but because she's not physically repulsive at a glance, people gloss over how pathetic she is and even donate thousands of dollars to her.
Christian Weston Chandler, on the other hand, has an entire subforum dedicated to mocking every single thing he thinks says or does. The site only came into existence to point out every mistake he ever made.
But why is it that women have more get-out-of-acting-crazy-free passes than men tend to before they have kids, but the dynamic completely reverses when they become parents? The only explanation I can come up with is that even as a kid, you're supposed to have an unconditional bond with your mom and let the things she does slide. You're allowed to get angry at your father, you're even allowed to vent about it, most of the time you're even allowed to confront him directly and demand an explanation without anyone hating you for it. But you have to let your mommy issues quietly ferment. Until one day it all comes to a head and you wind up with either thread on the kiwifarms or a freezer full of missing people.
@Skylar Ittner is quite a case study of the lolcow/lolmom phenomenon.
I think part of the issue is that dads are likely more ashamed that their sperm developed into their son/daughtercow and really want nothing to do with anything regarding them or their mother. Or, if they're like DaddyOf5, Bob or Jessi Slaughter's dad, a potentially worse parent than the mother.
Granted, DO5 and his wife are an example of both parents being fucked in the head, but the idea is the same. I think you're right about how the relationship between parent and offspring differs on who's in the spotlight, but there's no denying that the father can be just as warped as the mother.
