All the stats agree that one of the best things to ensure a kid’s optimal future is an intact family with an involved dad… so why are big media types so opposed to fatherhood?
There’s nothing partisan in saying moms are great. They pretty much hung the moon. You can’t say enough positive things about motherhood. As American as motherhood and apple pie, as the saying goes. But dads? That’s a whole other story.
Statistically, there’s no question that a kid raised with mom and dad in a loving family statistically has a much better future in store for him. National Fatherhood Initiative has stacks of research you can look at, and we stumbled on a Canadian study that even included the benefits of an involved dad to both parents as well as details like far-reaching cognitive and emotional and social benefits in their kids.
But it’s fashionable to dunk on dads. To diminish and deride them. Even our television and movie programming love to depict a dim-witted mediocre, and usually out of shape dad with a wife who outshines him in pretty nearly every way.
And then the gender wars turned everything up to eleven. It really cracked the public conversation when a guy we all knew as ‘Bruce’ was named ‘woman of the year’. And team Biden made a point of selecting nominees and crafting policies which pushed that line further and further.
How far has that ‘transformative process’ taken us in these few short years? Here’s a good summary of what’s going on.

You can’t hate the media enough in Canada.
The Toronto Star is now pushing the narrative that Father’s Day is discriminatory.“Do We Need to Outlaw Father’s Day? In the past, some progressives have suggested that we get rid of Father’s Day because it’s discriminatory,” pic.twitter.com/canWyaXFlN

Why would the establishment left even WANT to do such a thing?
Gee, I wonder could it be…?
Karl Marx said as much In the Communist Manifesto of 1848, in which he called for the abolition of the family. The family was already absent among the proletariat, Marx and his co-author Friedrich Engels wrote, and among the bourgeoisie, the family was a mere “money relation.”
Most importantly, Marx said that communism would ensure that children would be educated by the state and not by their parents. Communists, he wrote in the Manifesto, would “rescue education from the influence of the ruling class.” The making of the “New Man” was the priority, and the family was an obstacle. — Heritage Foundation
It really IS all about political power with that crowd.
Right down to who it is that raises our children.
