What you say is probably true. However most 15 year old's don't want hugs in public. That would ruin her reputation you know. (the second verse of "butterfly kisses" rule)

But at home they still need daddy time.

The feminazis have destroyed the lives of an entire generation of women. Fortunately some of them are waking up and raising their daughters in the tried and true way that works.

And of course many Christian families never swallowed the feminist BS in the first place. I'm very fortunate to live in a very Christian community where there are lots and lots of conservative families doing things the right way.

You've hit on another aspect of raising children that is so key. This is the village that it takes to raise a child--the church and the neighborhood (NOT the state). I raised a daughter who is now 19 without her father (his choice). She is very conservative and a darling--well most of the time. We lived for a number of years in a neighborhood where we were the only single-parent family and we were the only family not to have problems with at least one child. I got a tremendous amount of support from our church and a neighbor adapted herself as a grandparent. We have done just fine, although it has indeed left an emotional hole in my daughter (we've talked through the years about the need to forgive those who hurt us). But I told her growing up that no one has a perfect life and that doesn't give anyone an excuse to do wrong. She needed to take responsibility for her life as it was and she has. Fathers are immensely important, but NOT having one is no excuse for turning out bad.
