Tag Archives: fatherhood

It’s telling, I think, that a recent Rasmussen poll finds fully a third of Americans either denying that fatherhood is important or being unsure if it is. It’s a hard role, and especially hard when dealing with a boy. The irony of that is that men are supposed to want sons. Yet daughters generally are easier for a father to deal with. But the whole thing about what people are supposed to want is a media creation and I, of all people, ought to know how phony media creations/constructs are. Designed entirely to sell. No more.
