The 6 things that crushed dads in the last 50 years.

This experiment is over. It is a complete disaster. A failure. Single moms are not the answer to a better society. Stupid dads are not the answer for a more united America. Locked-up dads are not the answer. Uninvolved dads are not the answer.

The studies are boring to read but unanimous. When dad is in the home (regardless of the quality of dad) kids perform better in school and achieve higher education than their peers with no dad in the home. Income is higher in a home with a dad in it than in homes without a dad. Poverty rates skyrocket when there is no dad in the home. Dependence on welfare skyrockets when dad is no in the home. Crime rates are crazy high in households that do not have a dad present. Kids raised in a home with dad present have much more opportunity in life.

Teenage pregnancy skyrockets in households without a dad, leading to a continued cycle. Mental health issues are much higher in homes where dad is gone. The odds are ever in your favor when Dad is home. Your odds tank when dad is gone. That is white paper research. Decades of studies. Government-funded. From many many different research organizations.

This is what we have done over the last 50 years to destroy the family unit and take Dads out of the home.

Shift in Workplace

The shift in economics was a real cause. Dads were home and their presence was felt. They were often farmers or local merchants. As the world shifted so did families. Small farms disappeared. Industrial Revolution called for workers to spend long, hard, dangerous days away from the home. Eventually, companies became bigger and bigger with national reach. Local shops shuttered in exchange for big box stores. Sales became a leading career. Dads traveled, they moved, they spent more time away from their families. No more working side by side in the fields. No more being taught how to fix things and make the farm run. No more stopping by dads store and spending time learning the family business. Now dad was either out of town or working for a company where having your family stop by would be frowned upon.

Let’s not forget more and more women going into the workplace. Which often meant more and more influence in raising kids not coming from the parents. Even with Dad gone, to some extent, mom kept his memory alive in the house. “Our” rules were still enforced. Our values. And Mom was gonna tell dad when he did get back home.

Move to Public Education As the world keeps on spinning most people go with it. And public education became and has become a massive influence in American lives. I’m not going to bash public education because education truly is important. There are other options, and our family has avoided the public-school route. Education in small schoolhouses was a much different picture of education than it is today. Today’s kids spend an incredible amount of time inside the school system and much of that time is not productive. Todays students graduate not nearly as educated as they should be. The US ranks very poorly in worldwide education standards despite being the heaviest spender. Regardless of my views here 2 things come from this shift. A massive amount of the day is spend being influenced by people who are not Dad (or Mom). And since teaching is a field dominated by women there are arguments that the shift of so much time without male role models is the reason masculinity has declined and become attacked.

Court Systems

Ask any dad that has had to go through the court system and he will admit the deck is stacked against you. Courts have predetermined that Dad is not important and his value is in check writing. “And if you force our hand then fine---here are some days you can see your kids. Be thankful for the scraps we just tossed you.” – Signed family judges everywhere

Family Courts have crippled Dad's influence in kids' lives. And its politicians that create the laws and incentives Judges follow. Did you know states receive federal dollars based on how much they are having to collect in child support. If you want to know why courts stack against dads and care mostly about child support.......there is some real incentive for states to get the child support number as high as they can.

My other target is Dads here. As much as I am disappointed in the judges. Dad allowed the situation to get to a point where a judge decides what he can and can’t do. I know moms are at fault too. But this is a dad page. Dad’s – Sex can make babies. Stop having sex with crazy women. Marry women you want to spend your lives with. Make sure you guys are on the same page with life- how to manage money, how to raise kids, how many kids, what faith you are and want to raise kids in, how involved in-laws can be in our lives…. these are some of the biggest issues. Some of these divorce stories I hear, ya’ll can do better.

Politician Passing Stupid Laws

I do not like politicians. I think they are all slime balls. Even the ones you like. Especially the ones you do not like. They make incredibly stupid laws. Lets call out these idiots for a bit, not that they will be held responsible or even accept blame.

Child support is collected by states and used as the measuring stick for how much federal money states get. States get more money from the federal government when they collect more child support. Wonder why dads don’t get custody when they should? Wonder why Dads get stuck with a heavy bill and limited contact?

Welfare rules and government incentives finance the breaking up of families because hell the government will pay you for that. Politicians create laws that incentivize the breaking up the family unit especially in low-income and minority families. There has been a real effort to replace the husband and the father with a government handout.

There is a lot of chatter about laws passed that disproportionately took minority fathers out of the home and into jail for relatively minor offenses. I haven’t seen enough to make a judgment, but I would not be surprised at all.

Remember while there is always someone to blame-- we can take power out of the courts and politicians' hands by making good decisions and not ending up reliant on government money or stuck in their courts. When dads step up and become great we make all this way less relevant.

Entertainment Finds Ratings in Crushing Dads

Gone are the true role models of Dads. The Leave It to Beaver type dads are gone. The Dad with high integrity, that did not get caught up in drama, and was always good for dispensing wisdom and seriousness. Now the leading TV dads are the butt of the joke. While I admit it's often funny. I’m also certain we are a culture easily influenced by entertainment and the stigmas in tv influence generations and how they act. Now they are idiots. Mom is the smart one that really does everything. Dad drinks beer, watched tv, groans about doing any work, loves sports more than his family, and is clueless and clumsy. Luckily, mom is there to do literally everything. No respect, No honor, no integrity. Let’s be honest…. that doesn’t get laughs. Decades of that humor on top of not actually having dads in the home and a dramatic rise in how much we watch tv has reshaped what many men think a dad should act like and be like. It’s a wrong interpretation and families are paying the price. It must be recognized that tv dads are punchlines, not actual real dads that should be modeled after.

Feminism

Before I get torched let's clarify a few things. Women are great. Women are strong. Women are smart. Women are capable. I am not saying otherwise. Feminism was needed for the evolution of the world because there was no voting for women and workplaces shy’d away from women and certainly would not pay them well. And at higher levels of business, they were being turned down opportunities when they were more qualified and talented. It was needed. Some feminists have taken the cause way further. The ones saying women should be single and not get married. Single moms are better than married moms. Career women are better than stay-at-home moms. This is where the rest of the world rejects the cause. Now feminists divide and attack women. It's more that men are evil and toxic. These views attack marriage, child-raising, and healthy families. That’s simply wrong.

You tie all these together and you see how they feed each other. The feminist desire to put all women in the workplace means there’s more burden on school systems to raise kids. The courts and politicians feed the "see men are bad" crowd. Entertainment rears a generation that is not influential and present in their kids lives. The cycle turns and turns spewing out more and more kids born out of wedlock. Not raised in the family unit. More likely to be raised and influenced by underperforming schools and disappointing entertainment options.

Dads – Break the cycle. Avoid this fate. Be a prominent and influential role model. Stay away from the courts and politicians. The more we know and recognize the more we can fight against this rigged system. Just because the deck is stacked against you doesn’t mean you won’t come out on top. Shoulder back, head up high, power forward. You got this.

And to the rest of the world. This is a stupid trend. If you want to make a world a better place with less crime, poverty, less welfare, fewer taxes (because of reduced crime and welfare), better communities, better education….it goes on and on….DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO KEEP FAMILIES TOGETHER!!!!!!

Make Dad the center of the family. Make dads the source of wisdom and influence. It solves so many problems in this country!!

xander and leo for the meme? and garon toooo

Xander

Headcanon A: realistic

He normally doesn’t have anything personal against individual Hoshidans, he just doesn’t really get along with them because of the whole “Nohrian Scum” attitude, Ryoma especially.. Even when the guy’s not being a hothead about it, it’s still plain to see that he looks down on Nohrians, at least for a time.

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious

While not dangerously so, he has disproportionately tiny feet that aren’t very good for much on-foot combat.

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends

As the eldest of his siblings, he feels like he has to be serious at all times and rarely allows himself to relax. He doesn’t want to be serious at all times and would be more than happy to indulge in his siblings’ shenanigans but as both the eldest and the future king, he believes such behavior unfitting of someone of his station.

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.

He knows that blindly following his father borders on moral bankruptcy but he doesn’t think he has the authority to call his father’s motives or mental health into question.

Leo

Headcanon A: realistic

After being gently mocked for putting his collar on inside out, he orders his retainers to tell him if he does it again as to not feel that same humiliation. The one time they forget to check for him, Leo looks like a fool in front of the invading forces from Hoshido.

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious

He puts tomatoes on almost everything, even if it’s completely weird and nobody in their right mind would eat tomatoes with beef stew.

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends

In Birthright, one of his last interactions with Elise before she died wasn’t a very happy one. The invading Hoshidan forces had everyone on edge and he was a little short with her, which is why she was in the underground: she stormed off and went to go give out flowers to cheer herself up. It was Elise who led the Hoshidan forces into Castle Krakenburg. If she hadn’t stormed off, she wouldn’t have run into the Hoshidan forces. If he hadn’t been short with her, she wouldn’t have stormed off.

This line of thinking ultimately put the blame for his siblings’ deaths on him and he never forgave himself for it.

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.

He once found one of Nina’s “daydream diaries” and the things she wrote in it about him and Takumi. He promptly burned it and put the ashes in a bag. He never threw anything harder in his life than when he threw the bag of smut ashes at Nina the next time he saw her. Upon impact, the bag ruptured and spilled all over her current outfit.

Garon

This should be…interesting…

Headcanon A: realistic

The weird “actually a slime monster under some kind of visual spell” Garon that we see in-game doesn’t have any semblance of free will. He is but a puppet on a string and everything he does is at the behest of Anankos and the dragon is whispering in his ear the entire time. Once Anankos leaves Garon to possess Takumi, Garon’s mind is broken. He learned everything that the Silent Dragon planned on doing and how Corrin would play a role in it all. His final act with his life, attempting to kill Corrin but also mindlessly killing anything that got in his way, was supposed to be an act of mercy upon the realm but, given that his mind and body were broken, it wasn’t very well thought-out.

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious

Puppet!Garon is incredibly clumsy. As seen with possessed Takumi, Anankos isn’t exactly skilled at making the movements of his puppet seem natural. On top of that, Puppet!Garon is a cleverly disguised pile of slime that’s clumsy by default. Everyone attributes Garon’s clumsiness to losing fine motor skills from age.

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends

The entire time that he’s possessed by Anankos, he’s aware of everything. He’s aware of having Sumeragi killed in cold blood. He’s aware of kidnapping an innocent child to raise into the perfect soldier and/or puppet for his master. He’s aware of every cruel command he gives. He’s aware of it all and is powerless to stop it. All the while, he has that damned voice whispering to him, trying to beguile him.

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.

Ignoring gameplay, just for a moment, Blight Dragon!Garon is significantly stronger than Slime!Garon. Blight Dragon!Garon is still under the direct control of Anankos but now, the Silent Dragon is working with a form he’s actually used to controlling.

(how Garon was turned into a Blight Dragon is an entirely different matter but I’ll delve into that if you want me to. I have no explanation for why Garon turned into a pile of slime, though, that’s beyond me)
