Fair point Shri, but statistically how often does that happen in relation to good dads? I know most men despise these little dicked shitheads, at least I certainly do. I can't understand how a man could turn his back on his own kids. But I would wager the number of dads that do take care of their kids exponentially far outweigh the scum that don't.
Going back to the original post, in todays day and age, why do some women still have this mentality that they need a man for security? I know some female bankers making a hell of a lot more than I do. I think its more about shifting perceptions than women learning to take control.
