Feminism and the disposable family ...

If , as popular feminist ideology would have one believe, a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle... where does that leave our children ? Out in the cold !! In their attempt to relieve themselves of any responsability, the feminist movement has has thrown our children to the dogs. Gloria Steinam may not need a man, but your average child does ... in study after study after study it is found that children who grow up with out fathers are much more prone to deviant and dangerous behaviours. Even the more liberal among us seem to agree "The Progressive Policy Institute, the research arm of the Democratic Leadership Council, reports that the “relationship between crime and one-parent families” is “so strong that controlling for family configuration erases the relationship between race and crime and between low-income and crime. This conclusion shows up time and again in the literature.” " Depending on which study you are reading, girls who grow up with out their fathers are anywhere 68-100 times more likely to have children as teenagers. And this my friends only purpetuates the cycle. Children need parents ... BOTH parents ... the statistics for single mothers and poverty are apalling. Children need strong, loving fathers as well as mothers. Our girls need a dad to look at when they are trying to form ideals as to who they want as a spouse. Our boys need a dad to look to as a role model. Our mothers need a husband who deals largely with the outside world so that she can make responsible and caring citizens out of their children. A daycare facility is a poor substitute for a loving father. Perhaps it is time to by bicycles for the fish ???
