Let’s talk about the leftist hatred for heterosexual fathers
By Andrea Widburg
On Monday, the New York Times ran an essay attacking kids’ TV shows with fathers who are loving, fun, and engaged. On Wednesday, we learned that Netflix’s most popular streaming toddler program showed a pair of gay “dads” singing to their tutu-wearing son that he could “choose” what he wants to be. Heterosexual fathers are bad, and nothing illustrates that more than a meme I’ll share at the end of this post.
Leftists hate fathers, which probably is because, millennia ago, God the Father laid down rules about individual worth, morals, sexual restraint, etc. Leftists also hate fathers because good fathers make government less necessary. If you have a man around the house bringing home the bacon and protecting the family, you are less reliant on the government. Loving, engaged fathers with strong values also raise boys who are less likely to become criminals and girls who are less likely to be promiscuous.
The leftist war on fathers began in dead earnest with welfare. Black men were initially resistant to welfare because they saw it as an attack on their ability to provide for their families, making them expendable. However, earnest leftists urged them to sign up for welfare as a form of reparations.
The black men’s concerns were valid. Welfare reduced their value to women. Now, many younger black men raised by single mothers don’t recognize a biological father’s obligations to his children or the positive role he plays in their lives. A distant, disinterested Uncle Sam is their daddy.
