Perhaps what they have in common is a liberal, shrewish, anti-male, mother who drove the father away and so demasculinzed each of her sons that acting in a crude and violent manner was the only way the sons knew how to “act like a man” since that is what the mother taught the son a man is.
But, by all means, blame the missing father.
I think we should look at the psychological abuse being heaped on children from an early age in school.
We start them out with the Story of Stuff which teaches them that government is supposed to take care of them. We drill into them the fantasy that the planet is being destroyed by their parents and grandparents who just don’t care. We manipulate them with sex ed that teaches that only “normal” kids have homosexual feelings. Now we have common core where there are no right answers and to find out if your answer is acceptable it must be taken to the approved government official at the front of the class. We drug boys for being boys. The whole time there is a steady drumbeat of hate conservatives, hate conservatives, hate conservatives.
Indeed.
It is possible to blame the “absence of a father” without “blaming the father”...
You are right it is not always the missing Father. It is the missing Biblical principals from our homes and our society. The “curse” the woman received from God after disobeying Him in the garden was not her monthly menstruation but her wanting to rule the roost.
The feminist movement has been at the forefront of the collapse of our family and societal structure, women wanting to be the boss in their home, big mistake!
I didn't get that sense from the article. Just that broken homes are bad for children. Marriage failure isn't a gender-specific problem. Sometimes it's the woman, sometimes the man, sometimes both, and usually it's one or the other set of in-laws, right?
Or, perhaps what they have in common is an irresponsible, “can’t be bothered with kids”, low values, father, who abandoned all of his sons and daughters, did not pay child support, and left their mother to do the work of both parents, in addition to struggling to keep them fed and a roof over their heads.
It could go either way, IMHO.
What real man could be driven away from his children by any woman, no matter how bi——?
Modern men tend to be wimps turning over-worked moms into exhausted “do-it-alls”. They have often been abandoning their wives and children in increments for years.
