The disappearance of 'masculinity' is harmful to society
Article here. Excerpt:
'What are the consequences of saying all men have toxic masculinity? Many women feel like they do not need a man anymore to raise a family, or for any other reason. The first consequence is single-family homes with no fathers present. Many people think this is a wonderful thing, and I commend all women who can raise children alone and work at the same time. What is the damage to the children though, with no male influence, particularly a strong male? Working with inmates for many years,
I cannot remember one time while interviewing an inmate to do intake paperwork, that they specified that they came from a two-parent household. These men had no positive male role models in their lives who taught them the importance of being responsible, taking care of the family and to obey the law. According to Politifact, up to 60 percent of felons grew up in one-parent or other arrangement households, and it is one of the factors that contributes to eventual incarceration. It also states a child growing up in a mother-only household was almost twice as likely as a child growing up in a mother-father household to end up incarcerated.'
