Fathers are not optional: a woman's view

Chas writes "Opinion piece in 'The Australian' newpaper of 8th May 2003 by a female journalist. It discusses the significance of fathering - often denigrated - and the role of the Family Court of Australia in parenting orders which favour mothers over fathers.

She says, "So often the deep bond between father and child goes unnoticed. It is underestimated and sadly misunderstood. How else do you explain a society where fatherlessness is so common?"

This is a pro-father item and is refreshing to read when Naomi Wolf in in Melbourne pushing the motherhood bandwagon this week.

An encouraging item.
