 I tend to agree with people who say that young men need a father to show them how to be a man. But they forget that young women also need a father, to show them what a man should be. Women wouldn’t procreate with losers so easily if they had a good example to look to. Some of them get lucky and marry a real man, your wife as an example. Others end up hating men bc the men they had weren’t good men and their daughters follow suit. Round and round it goes.

It’s almost as if Daddy is just as important as Mommy. The modern world seems to have forgotten that.
