For once, let us take Father's Day more seriously than thinking about ties, wrenches, domestic violence, and child support. These are merely commercial and feminist perspectives that escalate devaluation of fatherhood.
Let us dedicate ourselves to restoring the institution of fatherhood in America. Fatherhood is the missing link driving the vast majority of our most serious social, criminal, and federal budgetary problems. As we all know, marriage and fatherhood are inseparable institutions: the former makes the latter possible.
Father-absence is still the greatest social problem we face. We must do something to end this problem every day. All serious treatises on father-absence prove that it was not caused by men running out on marriage or family. It is the result of intentional re-definition of family driven by radical feminist gender-identity politics.
Surveys that recently began asking men questions found that men are still at least as interested in marriage and raising children as are women. Men have not given up on marriage, but they do end up being replaced by big government most of the time.
