Redtracker | Mad at Dad Is A Vicious Attack On Men

Not having children, maybe I have no right to comment on this story Mad at Dad, written by Martha Brockenbrough. In two of my LTRs, one 10 yr. and the other 8 yr., children were an intimate part of our daily life.

In the latter case, my partner had joint custody and his children lived with us part-time. He was a great father, often at the expense of our relationship, I might add.

I’m speechless over the anger boiling, raging at men (fathers) in this article. One of these men will surely die in his sleep.

I do criticize Brockenbrough for not including any of the recent reserch on men’s contribution to both housework and rearing children. I will retrieve, but my recollection is that when on the job hours are combined with housework and child-rearing, near parity has been achieved.

Not much is gained in such a vicious and demeeaning diatribe against men, except to open wide the American wound between the sexes on this topic.

Reading every word of the article, I’m stunned at the seething resentment these women feel. Even their comments reduce their own husbands to children. It’s shocking.

I understand better now, why so many men I meet these days — of every age — have zero interest in getting married, and especially to a woman who wants children.

Houston, to put it mildly … we have a very serious problem in America.

I wish that one of the “experts” in the field, would at least put the actual facts on the table, regarding men’s time contributions to home and family. I realize that one does this at extreme risk to the lynch mob, but someone should speak up on this subject.

Facts, please? I’m under the impression that well-researched reality contradicts this scalding assessment of men as fathers in America.
