True, but the other guy is trying to explain from an evopsych position why step-dad might hurt kids.

Yes, the mother may not stop it for this reason, but why would the stepfather do it in the first place? Evopsych, imo, doesn't provide an adequate explanation.

Agreed. Important to not slander step dads.

Most step dads are perfectly decent.
