Fatherhood Crisis

There is a country valuing equality. In this country nobody is better or worse just because of his or her natural construction, race, sexuality, political preferences. All religions have the same rights. People have been trained into this notions for years, and believe that they like the situation.
In this country men have to do exactly the same things as women do. To make it possible, small children are being raised as humans, and not as girls and boys. Everything must be well-balanced, everybody in a kindergarten is taught to play with all toys, any sign of masculinity is hastily being suppressed, any sign of femininity likewise finds no approval.
Boys will be boys, no matter what. So will be girls - even if they discover the truth growing up and seeing their bodies function differently than boys'. But the system in this country seems not to pay attention...
To get a divorce is like shopping in a shoe shop, easy and cheap, with assistants helping along the way. If the customer is a parent, it may take 6 months to be free, but still, what is 6 months?
Children of divorced parents are subjected to the same equality principle that governs the whole society. Most of them spend 50% of time at mum's, and the other 50% at dad's. Sometimes things get ugly, but let us talk about this wonderful equal picture, right?

Wrong.

Fathers have started protesting lately. Fathers experience that their absence in the children's lives is not good.

What is really wrong is the divorce, dear fathers. What is really wrong is the egalitarian ideology driven by the feminist movement. What is really wrong is the rejection of God in your lives. Because if you were men of God, you would cherish your families and do everything possible to keep them together, instead of taking the easy way out of them. Because if the society as a whole remained faithful to the Lutheran teachings, no raging feminists would be able to hijack the lot.
I do not know what is necessary, apart from a mass movement towards the traditional values, and against the society so ill of depression, lack of purpose, emptiness and consumerism...
What used to hold the societies together and promote the sound development - the family and God - has been dismantled in the name of progress and modernity. One look at the results is enough to see what we have got now: ruins and pieces, and nobody able to clean the mess up, and nobody caring to do it. It is as if S_O_M_E_B_O_D_Y did it on purpose. The very same O_N_E from my yesterday's post...
