A lot of the issues in society today can be traced back to the dismantling of the family unit. A big part of that is having both parents involved and having the husband leading the family.

Today men in general are under "attack" man bashing is the cool thing to do now thus we are seeing the disappearance of the man's role within the family.

Many women want their husband/SO to be the leader in their family unit but many times the man doesn't know how or has been condition not to lead.


I am not saying women and the kids need to serve their husbands/father blindly either. Men need to serve their wives and kids as well. Like the saying goes "to lead you must serve".

So husbands...step up, take the reins, and lead your family.

A decent article to read on this: LINK

I don't think this is about white people.

Fix the slanted system and you will see a revert back to nuclear families.

The destruction of the family unit is the largest single thing that will bring down this nation.

Agreed. I see far too many couples these days (many of them are good friends) where the man in the household does not lead them. It isn't my place to say anything but it is really a shame.

I like how dads are always emasculated or made to be dopey caricatures in every commercial.

That article basically says don't be lazy, don't be fat, don't be an a-hole and go to church with your family. This is some ground breaking social science.

Hard to do when there is an onslaught on men in general but more specifically straight white conservative male

I bet the dynamics are even greater in inter-racial homes

I think it also has to do with how much men have relinquished public policy leadership, and are allowing women and their emotions to dictate societal norms - which eventually seeps into even the most solid nuclear families as they're inundated with the way they're "supposed to be."

Women are not hard wired to lead families or society. When they're thrust into those positions, it creates instability for everyone.

Pat Moynihan only said this 50 years ago, and was shouted down for it.
