Why We're Not Enough to Talk About Fatherlessness

The social and economic cost of fatherlessness is so massive. Why is it so taboo, given that it inflicts such misery? Or perhaps particularly on women? That's another great question. I think the shortest answer is that if we are allowed to talk about fatherlessness, then we cannot avoid the consequences of fatherlessness. It's been known that almost all violent criminals came from fatherless homes. Similarly, getting back to the cases of these recent shooters, these kids also are coming almost to a man from dadless homes. So again, John, I think we are being forced by events to bring all of this depressing but important stuff to the table.
