That is a very interesting article. What it sounds like is that men need to have a place made for them at the parenting table. Religion makes that place, but other structured ways of living could make it too. I think it a good thing that religion makes that place, but what is of paramount importance is that fathers feel a need to be involved, and that they have the ability to be involved, religion or the lack of it does not appear to be the necessary component. And I thought the bit about organic chemists having girls was adorable.

I guess the moral of that story is that, if a woman wants her husband to be a good father, she has to give him at least one son. Reading that brought to mind an interview with Jesse Jackson on TV this ayem. He was pitching a seven point program for improving children's education, I think it was. He had a nice simple list including taking your kid to school the first day and meeting the teacher, turning off the TV for three hours each evening, and reading to your kid every night. As he went through the list, I thought the guy was finally pitching something I could agree with. Until he got to number seven, that is, which was take your kid to church every Sunday. Well, maybe another day, another list...
