I've heard some bad stories about absentee fathers.

Many of the general news media stories are wrong. People have been lying a lot about fathers for more than a decade. It's for the money. Money states get from the federal government and the money collection agencies get from forcing fathers into debt and then "collecting."

Unfortunately I was not talking about the news media and more about the experiences of friends and acquaintances.

The resentment at the father who moved away and started a new life, ...

Yes, I can understand that. But most divorces are filed by mothers. Mothers most often get custody.

Granted I am dealing with a smaller sample size but again I was relating the experiences as told by friends and acquaintances.

the anger at the father who wasn't around for years at a time, the awkwardness of the birthday card as the only means of communication with ones father, etc.

It's understandable. Divorce isn't the greatest thing on earth. The feminists are wrong about that.

It certainly isn't and they certainly are.

Women must stop assuming that fathers are sperm providers whose children don't need them
