Sounds like I may have struck a nerve with an absentee dad. You need to do some research.  Kids who grow up without an involved father in their lives are more likely to grow up in poverty, drop out of school, get pregnant at a young age, get involved in drugs, lead a life of crime, and end up in prison.
So it's "misogynistic" to think that dads are important? Wow! Unbelievable. What about moms?  Loving robots?
