The feminists are trying to enforce rules that any man's words can be punished if a woman subjectively doesn't like them, and the basis is how the woman felt rather than what the man said. But maybe that's only for men - while for women, any excuse will do. Both conservatives and feminists love to bash feckless dads who desert their wives and children. Several of the Journal panelists talk about the need to stigmatize these men, as if we didn't already. But two-thirds of the time, it's the mom who ends the marriage.
Many fathers fight tooth and nail to remain a part of the children's lives.
Some lose hope and vanish. Ultimately, a father-friendly culture benefits not only men and children but women, too. A father's presence can allow a mother either to choose a traditional home-centered life or to balance work and family far more effectively. That's a myth. If these are two distinctly different situations, then the outcomes must be distinctly different.
