Despite the MSM’s attempt to “dumb” down the role of men in society by sarcasm and “put-downs” whether it’s in TV commercials, sit-coms, or news stories, which tries to belittle men and their significance, strong fathers are needed even more than ever. Fathers need to lead and be engaged with the family. Bradford Wilcox is professor of Sociology at University of Virginia has written a great article which documents the facts as opposed to myths about today’s fathers. When dads are engaged, teen depression and delinquency is decreased. Affectionate fathers are critical to steering daughters away from early sexual activity. Dare I say (the evidence says) dads are even more critical to preventing early sexual activity by daughters than mothers.
So, Hurray for Dads everywhere. Hurray for potential Dads everywhere. Let’s celebrate our God given gifts to lead, protect, provide for our family.
