It’s so obvious......yet so many don’t get it.

Governments and employers also have an important role to play in ensuring that men can spend quality time with their offspring, stress the authors.

See! It's Bush's fault that so many dads don't spend quality time with their kids.

What? You mean two mommies or two daddies isn’t as good as a mom and a daddy?
This is obviously written by straight folks who have a grudge against the abnormals known as fags.

"Public policy has the potential to facilitate or create barriers to fathers spending time with their children during the crucial years of early development" says Dr Sarkadi. "Unfortunately current institutional policies in most countries do not support the increased involvement of fathers in child rearing. Paid parental leave for fathers and employers sympathetic to fathers staying at home with sick children is still a dream in most countries.

I think that's a bit of overkill....mostly they need to find some way of preventing women from becoming pregnant out of wedlock, and reducing the divorce rate, I'd think.

Don’t tell this to the feminazi’s. Just a man being there, being a positive steady and stable influence is better than nothing. It’s not enough, but it is far better than no man being around at all.

For all these years the feminists have assured us that fathers are good for two things only: sperm and cash.

So now this study says they are good for something else???

Well, THAT little piece of data will have to be shoved down the memory hole AT ONCE.

OK, all done!

Fathers are good for two things only: sperm and cash.

No doubt.

But both of those accounts are anecdotal.

This is a collection of studies over 20 years with numerous subjects.

It is objective and general. You’re experiences are subjective and specific.
