Great find. It's a shame this is still relevant 20 years after it was published.

"We know that raising children is the central experience of life, the greatest source of self-awareness, the true fountain of pride and joy, the most eternal bond with a partner..." I didn't know I knew that.

FOR A COUPLE OF hundred years now, each generation of fathers has passed on less and less to his sons--not just less power but less wisdom. And less love. We finally reached a point where many fathers were largely irrelevant in the lives of their sons. The baby was thrown out with the bathwater, and the pater dismissed with the patriarchy. Everyone seemed to be floundering around not knowing what to do with men or with their problematic and disoriented masculinity.

I didn't know that there was a golden era of nurturing fatherhood that ended with the founding of the USA... This reads like a feminist post wherein they tell us all about how successful they've been at make us good fathers. Long live the Matriarchy.
