You didn't pick up on the tone. Yes, I know a child without a father will have problems. But society unfortunately is in hard denial of that concept. Most people think a child without a mother is damaged goods and will never have any chance of being normal, but these same people think the father is disposable. How many films have you seen with a single mother that are lighthearted comedies? Too many to count? But every film with a child that lost his/her mother is a molodrama geared towards the Oprah crowd.
- NOW has (successfully) sold the idea that the mother will always love the child more than the father, and the child will always love and need the mother more.

Well in my case it would have been literally true... I would have been better off without the kind of father I had...

Excellent choice of words. Despite claims to the contrary, their agenda boils down to fundraising.

Someone once said that shows about single dads portray the sainted mother as having prematurely departed this world.
But in shows where the mom is alone, it's because the lousy rotten bum deserted her and the kids.
