Some men don't have the opportunity to be the type of father they need to be, and I hope my example teaches them to step up.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Many very strong fathers have turned out ineffectual sons by not allowing them to grow as men.
I think women look for that quality in a man of being a good dad whether they're immediately wanting to be a parent or not.
Some men don't want to be responsible fathers. It's easier to say 'Let's just turn the kids over to the state.' Women end up bearing the entire load, raising kids alone without a husband to share the parenting.
When I'm talking to groups that are all men, we talk about how the masculine role limits them. They often want to talk about how they missed having real fathers, real loving, present fathers, because of the way that they tried to fit the picture of masculinity.
I don't think I've ever come to terms with not having had a father around, and that's why I made so many mistakes with men.
A father is a man who expects his son to be as good a man as he meant to be.
When one has not had a good father, one must create one.
Anyone who reads my work will see that there are often difficult relationships between fathers and sons.
It is easier for a father to have children than for children to have a real father.
It is much easier to become a father than to be one.
