Why Men Don’t Want to be Fathers -- A Perfect Storm

I have written about Dr. Helen Smith's new book, Men on Strike. She's a practicing clinical psychologist, who book is making quite a bit of news explaining that it's not he men who choosing not to grow up, but it's society telling them, they are essentially irrelevant, except for the financial support they provide. Rich Hailey, another blogger's take is not that men are going on strike as much as being fired.

Second, this is not a scholarly research tome. Instead, Dr. Smith writes that she wanted to capture through anecdotal evidence the real impact behind the numbers. In the introduction, before the book really begins, she relates the story of Thomas Ball, a man who burned himself to death on the steps in front of a Family Court building to protest his treatment by that court.

Have you heard his name before? On the other hand, have you heard the names Susan Smith and Andrea Yates? There’s something wrong when a mother who murders her children can get more sympathy than a man who kills himself to protest the unfair treatment he received in Family Court. Dr. Smith uses the Ball case to set the table for the rest of the book, demonstrating that men are not heard in our family courts, their needs are not addressed in our modern society, and their worth is not only not recognized, but actively denigrated.

I wonder why there was virtually no news about the Ball case?

Hailey has another post, Why Men Don’t Want to be Fathers: A Perfect Storm

How many thousands of boys grew up being taught by our society that fathers were superfluous accessories and not necessary?

Except, of course, for their wallets.

How many boys grew up with a reservist father? You know, every other weekend and two weeks in the summer.

 And this is what modern feminism and liberalism has wreaked on society.
