Father’s are kind of important as well.

The incessant barrage of female rights, female this female that, #METOO!!

We have forgotton men or more importantly fathers in general. Human beings have a tendency to recognize things that are wrong, but then get the equation completely out of wack. Society suffers not only through class wars, but now gender wars.

To be a father has been reduced to a paycheck, a support payment, or just a donkey who is a beast of burden. Society didn’t get here by one gender. Let’s truly bring “equality” back into the equation.

Fathers are definitely important, especially to teenage sons. My son was 13 when I got divorced. He decided he wanted to live with his father. Letting him was one of the best decisions I ever made. His father was able to empathize with him and support him during those tender years in a manner in which I couldn't. My son has done quite well in life. He's currently finishing his PhD. And we still have a close relationship.

amazing! Putting what’s best for the children first! Kudos to you!

Thank you. It was not an easy choice at the time.

Since it's the week of vayikra, I might add something about learning and practicing to withhold gratification. (Not that I'm good at it...)

Resteemed :)

Thank you for this @bearbear613! I am a single mother and I really needed to see this post for my two young sons today! Right on time too! I love steemit!!!
As far as the bringing back "equality" I couldn't agree more. When did everything become so difficult?
Again, thank you!

I appreciate your post. Some of my post are all about equality, I think society is out of balance it tends to go to extremes and that is no healthy at all.

Families need both a father and a mother.
Children need both.
So let's not lose sight of the importance of fathering while we uphold the value of mothers -- and women and girls.
