Very interesting analyisis, Janice. The trouble is that men who grow up with such mothers still love them and will often defend their poor choices. We now have generations of men who were brought up by single mothers who they see as heroic, men who are happy to denigrate the role of fathers as unimportant. To acknowledge the damage done to fatherless children is to admit they have problems, which may have been the result of their mothers' life choices - a truth many find hard to confront. It is tragic we have so many of these men as leaders, willing to sell out men to pander to their beloved feminist role models.
