You will do as I say because I say so. Everywhere we look, fathers are diminished. They're deadbeats, wife beaters, child molesters. They're fungible, dispensable, inconsequential. Even the 'experts' tell us that dads aren't that important to children's development, that the consequences of absent fathers have been overstated.
Women get pregnant, have babies and raise children by themselves all the time.
Not to temptation, not to social pressures and not to that dear man she stayed married to through the Great Depression, family tragedies and a laundry list of conflicts that would send today's staunchest Baptist scurrying to divorce court. None of this woman submit to thy man business. If anybody submitted to anybody, John B. submitted to Berfoo. Any fool could see that. He farmed, brought home the bacon, literally.
