As all astute totalitarians know, the means to achieving their nefarious ends necessitates the destruction of the nuclear family. Eliminate that primary support structure and you will ensure complete dependence on the state.
 
One of the principle strategies for breaking down that fundamental building block of the civil society is to diminish the worth of fathers. And for years progressives have been doing that with a vengeance. Over the past few decades – with the enthusiastic assistance of radical feminists – they’ve reduced the status of fathers to little more than sperm donors.
 
And yet for children without dads, with few exceptions, life can be a struggle. The statistics are revealing – and grim ~
 

• Over 60% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes.
• Over 80% of youths in prison are from fatherless homes.
• Over 70% of high school dropouts are from fatherless homes.
• Over 70% of kids in drug abuse treatment centers are from fatherless homes.

Matt Walsh is correct in asserting that the fatherless home epidemic is a verified national emergency, and should be treated as such. And boys are the biggest casualty, which just exacerbates the situation ~

(T)he fatherless factor is just one part of the equation. The other part is that nearly all of the kids who fall into these statistics are boys. Pretty much every mass shooter in American history, with very rare exception, has been male. 93% of the inmates in federal prison are men. 90% of murders are committed by men. The vast majority of rapists and child molesters are male. Men are three times more likely to kill themselves.

It’s a national tragedy. We need to stand up to the nonsense about some new kind of family peddled by the secular progressives; the original version has worked best since the dawn of creation. As I wrote a few years back ~

God’s design for “family” starts with a mother and a father. As part of His plan, each of them provides different yet complementary attributes that are essential for the well-being of their offspring. And no amount of atheist, progressive or angry feminist proclamations can make that simple truth go away. The lack of either parent leaves a huge hole in a child’s heart. Many will spend the rest of their lives searching for someone – or something – to fill it back up.

 
Our broken society may try to pretend otherwise, but fathers are indispensible.

Working moms are producing mentally ill children, says author ~

Working moms are more likely to have children with mental illness, according to psychoanalyst Erica Kosimar. “I was actually seeing an epidemic level of mental disorders in very young children,” the author of “Being There” told The Post. Her advice for working moms is to maximize attachment time at home. “Put all of your distractions in a basket: your computers, your iPads, your phones. Don’t pick them up ‘til your baby goes to sleep,” Kosimar warned.

And maybe make sure the kid has an engaged dad as well. Maybe even one who works so you don’t have to.
