>>7916331>Fathers... Their role in parenting is therefore insignificant, is it not?No it's not insignificant at all, in fact a fathers role in raising a child is equally as important as a mothers role; so for example while a mother can raise a male child just fine on her own for the most part, there are absolutely some things a male child provably needs from a developmental aspect that they can only properly learn from a father who is in the childs life preferably at home, just as there are things a female child can only properly learn from a mother despite most fathers being capable of raising a daughter alone just fine for the most part.
As an example, since the rise of the welfare state in the US some 60 years ago, the increasing lack of fathers in the home, which happened directly as a result of the Democrat party telling women that the government would give them free welfare cheques just as long as their childrens father wasn't at home, has directly and provably been responsible for so many of the serious issues especially plaguing the African American community, including the high rate of young males who are from a single parent family who drop out of school early, who then end up in a gang because the gangs take on the kind of authoritative male role model/father figure the child lacks at home, and then they either end up in jail or dead at a comparatively early age, e.g. teen/20-something.
Prior to the Democrats cynically inflicting the welfare state on people, the African American community generally was more stable and had a higher rate of 2 parent families and a far lower rate of abortion than the white community, but once the welfare state came along there was a fairly quick and dramatic reversal in the figures so that now the African American community suffers from a significantly higher rate of single parent families (predominantly mothers), and the abortion rate among that community far surpasses any other ethnic community by some wide margin.
