I love fatherhood: How does fatherhood affect feminists?

Answer 1

I think fatherhood is an attractive shade in men for feminists as that shows a point of intersection with a typical feminist as they see themselves " MOTHERS & MATRIARCHES". Anyways, make sure u dont overdo it, coz this would signal that u are trying to do a takeover n that would render u a tresspasser on feline hunting grounds. lol, they'll launch an ostrasizing persuit.

Answer 2

I couldn't help saying this... GREAT answer, Joy! That is soooo true! I also agree that the feminist movement has helped to foster a more loving relationship between fathers and their children. I am not saying that fathers didn't love their children way back when, but even in the case of my father, who is from the "old school" as a child, he seemed distant, but now that I am an adult, it's that he has become much more tender. My elder siblings also said that by the time I was born, my father had become softer... because the only thing my father used to do for them was discipline them when our mother couldn't quite get to them. By the time I was born, he had started to integrate tenderness into his fathering, and then now... Daddy's a softie! If this is the story of just one man over the years, imagine how it would be for younger fathers getting into fatherhood now.

Answer 3

I think fatherhood is a wonderful thing too.....although I'm a mother. When I see my girls interact with their Daddy I feel so blessed. It makes me sad to think of what all those other fathers lost out on because their place was the breadwinner and ended when they got home. While the woman's place was in the home taking care of them, the house and the children. So as for an answer. I would think it would only affect them in a 100% positive way.

Answer 4

Since I don't agree with a lot of what feminism is about I couldn't really say. None of the women in my house are feminists and my father is wonderful. Enjoying fatherhood is an individual thing and should treated as such.

Answer 5

I think it could only affect them in a positive way. When I was a young mother, I worked full time, came home from work (usually after running a few household errands) and began my after work work. Saw to it my sons were not into too much mischief, prepared dinner, tidied up the house, threw in a load or two of wash, etc. etc. After dinner, I cleared the table, put the dishes in the dish washer, "encouraged" the boys to do their homework, folded the clothes, and washed the boys when they were babies & toddlers. My husband came home, took off his jacket, fixed himself a drink, and retired to the den to read the newspaper. Now a days, most young husbands/fathers help with the chores and are deeply involved with their children. The feminist cause (among other things) helped society realize that working mothers in particular needed help. I also think it helped create a deep bond between fathers and their children. In the old days, many fathers were just the disciplinarians. You have heard the old saying: "Wait til your father comes home!" An attitude not exactly designed to encourage children to look forward to dad's homecoming.

Answer 6

I am not sure what men consider to be a femininst these days, but a man who loves his children/child is not to be mocked. Children need two parents. The first way to love those children is to love their mother and to be commited to staying with her. Vice Versa of course. I think it is very good that you love fatherhood.

Answer 7

Feminists think a fathers place is outside the house in whatever he can afford after paying alimony and child support. Feminists have divorce written all over their face.

Answer 8

The feminissts will soon come marching over you to annihilate you and your fatherhood.
