Killing Dad: My Father's Day Rant

I'm going to keep this short so I can go spend the day with my Granddaughter... The nuclear family has come under attack from many fronts, not the least of which is the government itself who provides financial incentives to destroy families. Bolstered by radical feminists who proclaim that fathers are "unnecessary" and an archaic throwback to the "patriarchy." Armies of left-wing psychologists also proclaim that fathers provide no concrete benefit and consistent with President Bill Clinton's Executive Order giving the word "family" over 70 different designations a family can now consist of two lesbians and a golden retriever. However, this ambitious social engineering experiment has gone terribly awry.
For a millennia a family consisted of a man, a woman and their offspring. This primary social unit has become the bedrock of civilization... the very glue that holds societies together. In the 1960's the attack on this unit began in earnest with no-fault divorce coupled with the women's movement; which began as a quest for equal rights and has transmogrified into an army of hideous angry lesbians who despise men and demand omnipotence. The mainstream media is equally culpable... by creating impossible standards based on the consumerist utopia, fathers and men in general have been pushed into a corner from there is seemingly no escape.
In the 1990's President Clinton furthered the push to destroy families by signing legislation to provide cash incentives to state Child Protective Services to legally kidnap children and put them in foster care. This is backed at the global level by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. So let's take a look at how successful this attack on families and fatherhood has been...
~ 70% of the prison population comes from foster care
~ 70% of trafficked children come from foster care
` 63% of youth suicides come from a home with no father
~ 90% of homeless/runaways come from fatherless homes
~ 85% of children with behavioral disorders come from fatherless homes
~ 80% of rapists from a home with no father
~ 71% of high school dropouts come from a home with no father
~ 75% of youth in chemical abuse centers- no father in the home
~ 75% of youth in state operated institutions- fatherless homes
~ 85 % of youth in prison come from fatherless homes- 20x the national average
~ 90% of youth arsonists come from a home without a father
Girls from fatherless homes...
~ 53 % more likely to marry as a teen
~ 711% have children as teens
~ 164 % give birth prior to marriage
~ 92 % more likely to be divorced themselves
I don't say any of this to condemn single mothers- they do the best that they can... However, these statistics can't be ignored. What they prove is that the nuclear family is the only viable foundation for a functional society. These statistics are available to anyone- it took me less than 5 minutes to find them- so they're equally accessible to the government... actually these stats come from the government. Therefore, we can only surmise that it is the government that is behind this tragically failed social engineering experiment. It's time to tell the angry feminists to shut up and go away- and take their purple hair along with them. What we need is a Convention on the Rights of the Family and even maybe a Convention on the Rights of the Dad... but that would be too much to ask for... God forbid we should offend anyone!
I cannot entirely agree with your premise about fatherless homes. By the time my own father left, I could never have been more happy. He didn’t want to be in the marriage anymore, leaving my Mother to raise 3 daughters. We learned a lot from the whole experience. Man hating wasn’t one of them.
It makes me sad too, that the nuclear family has nearly dissolved, and that divorce is so easy. I believe in the sacrament of marriage and taking a vow means you figure out how to work out problems. Negotiation is a forgotten art. Even the movies made today rarely represent a nuclear family.
Sometimes, it gets too depressing to think about what lies ahead for kids and families alike.
Just what is up with the purple, pink and. blue hair?
Sometimes good women don’t get a choice. One can’t negotiate alone.🐓🐓
I just went by the DOJ stats... Trying to defend nuclear families
I defend nuclear families, first and foremost. Just saying sometimes there isn’t a choice. The stats are no doubt true. 🐓🐓
The attack on Fathers the western world over is a subset of the attack on the MALE figure.
TV commercials deliver a telling story: The male is almost ALWAYS ridiculed and women are portrayed as superior, the problem solvers, the ones that do what men couldn't. We should not buy products from companies that depict males in general as incompetent idiots and idolize the female as the answer to any and all problems.
That said, we would have to stop buying 90%+ of the products advertised.
So be it.
Yeah honestly its getting a little tiring seeing the constant commercials coming out of ridiculed men, glad I am not the only one who noticed them but of course if switched around the TV complaints go crazy, its annoying because this was never given much thought until the past few years @globocop
I thought your statement was exagerrated but I've listed most movies and TV shows targeting kids and you do have a point. The media is also attacking the whole principles of family from their end
The 'bumbling dad' gag is beginning to get old. It was funny and edgy compared to the old "Leave it to Beaver" and "Father Knows Best" and "My Three Sons". So many children are raised by their single mom, it's easy for them to relate to the 'bumbling dad' schtick. What they need so desperately is the present and involved dad. @ironshield
The incompetent dad, or the toxic patriarch are both creations of Cultural Marxism along with the "super competent" mom... The statistics, unfortunately show otherwise (not that that will ever change anything)
The war on men is a death blow to society. It is not PC to say this, but men are the builders, maintainers and protectors of society and we have been pushed out of the way. No longer welcome even in many of our homes, the family courts one of the weapons used to make men part time dads. I see so many articles where in the comments they blame the parents for the childs acting out/crimes, and I get angry because seeing ones kid 4 days a month really doesn't offer a lot of influence. Not to mention the indentured servitude exorbitant child support/alimony has on making a man work long hours just so he can have enough left over for the bare minimum for himself.
I myself have been taken to the cleaners twice in divorce. Most all of my male peers from childhood as well. I watched my dad get taken first as a child. There is a growing backlash of men who realize after the decades long failure of the MRM nothing will change. I have watched a growing movement that calls itself MGTOW. While I am not one, and am in a relationship, I do subscribe to many of their views, such as I will never get married again and bring the government into any future relationships. It is hard enough starting over a third time and refuse to do it a fourth time.
There is a lot of anger in the MGTOW movement as men work past what is called the rage phase. Many of the younger one growing up without male role models as they watched their mothers indulge in narcissistic, hedonistic behaviors at their expense. All because they have been lied to and told it was empowering. From here it doesn't look to be if you see how many are on anti depressants and bi polar medication.
These poor boys are being abused by a system that teaches them at school and through media they are toxic and unnecessary (women need men like a fish needs a bicycle).
Many in the MGTOW movement are tired of funding other peoples healthcare, kids etc through taxes and minimize their taxable earnings, to outright hide their income to avoid the growing welfare state.
I found an excellent thread some time back that gives a good description of MGTOW for anyone interested.

Great choice @practicalthought "I will never get married again and bring the government into any future relationships" not only that but I don't see what a document proves anything when it comes to happiness in a relationship and I do feel sorry for those men who are constant in getting that unnecessary toxic teaching of filling their brains with unworthiness no wonder some get so messed up.
Well, having grown up without one, I must say it's not an indifferent situation. It's not like 'oh well...' and looking over the statistics you give, I imagine they're quite accurate. It's a very traumatizing situation, for a child, especially if your relationship with your mother isn't great either (thankfully, not my case).
So no, I don't think fathers are unnecessary. I was going to say that even if you do make it into adulthood, it isn't so important anymore, but it is. It gives you strange fears and coping mechanisms that fuck with you throughout life, I think.
And while I don't believe these women are right (hell, I don't even believe they should have the right to vote....crazy ass bitches), I think that a lot of trauma associated with not having a father is the result of the society we live in. I remember being upset that my classmates had one, but I didn't. It makes you feel un-normal, and it shouldn't. All I'm saying is that I don't think the nuclear family should be the standard by which children judge their own lives.
I doubt I missed out, with my father not being there. And this is the case in a lot of families. It would have been worse if the parents had stayed together, at least for some. But a child can't see that, so they go to the norm,which is the nuclear family and that makes them feel like they're missing out, like they don't have the complete set.
Again, you know me, you know I don't agree with such people as these crazy feminists. I think there is an amount of truth to what they're saying, but that they're taking it to such an insane extreme that it loses all value.
One of the biggest problems I see is people going into marriages with unrealistic expectations. You can't expect the other person to "complete" you. Marriage is not a 50/50 proposition... it's two people that make a commitment to see it through "Until death do we part." It's two people giving 110% each to a covenant they make with God. IT used to be like that. In an historical context, the state involvement in marriage is a fairly new phenomenon. Originally (up until about 150 years ago) marriages were done under the auspices of the church.
There is little or no honor left in the world. the Marriage contract is the easiest to dissolve. Try getting out of a legal or business contract by saying "I don't feel like doing this anymore" and see how far you get.
Still, it's one thing to leave a partner and a completely different thing to leave a child you might have with that partner, I think, although I do know that some divorves can be quite messy, which doesn't permit some parents to be as involved as they'd like in their kids' lives.
But it seems so immature...I can't imagine keeping my child away from his father simply because of a personal grudge...that's so cruel, to both of them. This is of course assuming custody goes to the mother, which is usually the case.
The idea of marriage has always seemed a bit spooky/pointless to me, precisely because it's so easy to dissolve. It doesn't mean anything today, so why bother? Just makes things messier, in my opinion...
Hate that phrase. Why are we assuming you're incomplete, in the first place? Silly notion...No one can complete you..
My point is that if you're not willing to see it through to the end, don't get married and have kids. Your responsibility is to more than just yourself- that's what people fail to see because they've become myopically selfish!
I absolutely love this post. Straight to the point. It actually doesn't even require a very long conversation to prove the point you're making. The statistics speak for themselves.
Here's the other interesting thing about the radicals who would like to end Father's Day. If they truly believed in equality, then they would also be asking for a ban on Mother's Day. There's the proof right there, that this entire narrative is bogus, to derail society into a different path.
Let's be honest, it's all just been turned into a marketing gimmick to sell more shit anyway.
As far as I'm concerned EVERY DAY is Father's Day and Mother's Day. That's why I'm here in the first place. Without the two of them, I wouldn't exist.
I love both my parents dearly, so I don't need anyone to tell me one is better or more worthy than the other.
Have a great Father's Day.
Thank you my friend! Very well said- I'd be happy with Family Day. What is really needed is some incentive to keep families together!
Pretty impressive statistics.
It's incredible the devastation this agenda has cause - on so many levels.
Pure evil.
I am a follower of jungian concepts and my view is this is an attempted destruction of our mass psyche by destroying our archetypes.
Good point... I wanted to focus on the more practical aspects.
None of this would be a problem if they didn't have policemen making it real.
This is what conservatives don't understand.
Having an enforcement mechanism leaves the door open to having it co-opted and used against you.
Wouldn't it be lovely to just ignore the ranting freaks and live our lives according to our own judgement?
It's not like they have any guns themselves.
We should just be able to laugh them off.
And if the MSM just ignored them... or better yet, treated them with the same derision they do conservatives!
CPS don't come to your door with the media for backup. The boys in blue are where the rubber hits the road. Everything else is just opinion.
Whatever you wrote in this article is truth and a bitter one. Family is made of the members of the family but now this definition is losing its significant because some so called feminists and gay-lesbian thinker think father's role in a family unnecessary.
This may be the result of some evil design that want to destroy everything good in this world. In fact these thinkers are enemies of humanity. They don't care for the welfare of humanity.
It's a part of the Cultural Marxist plan to destroy America. The rest of Western society is doing a good job of committing cultural suicide.
