Terry Crews defend fathers

okay, mother's presence instead of role

no one would question the importance of a mother being in their child's life

Get out of here with that retarded mentality each parent has something to offer the other can't. It's a reason why the black community is in disarray when we have people cannot see beyond their eyes of the importance of family. Without it you have no community even a dog understands that. The male presence gives children a sense of protection and security and they are less anxious. The mother provides the immediate warmth and love. If you think they are false gender roles then look up the difference between males and females from psychology and cognitive studies. You'll be surprised. We are talking sane adults not destroyed adults.

Fathers are important...maybe they should stick around...

can you raise a good child w/o the presence of a father? yes, but i don't see why one would willingly want to do that.  most women do not want to do it alone!

I think a lot of people get in their feelings because most were raised by single mom's. I was raised in a family full a women. A few husbands among my aunts but I was raised by my mom (and her boyfriend for a while) and then my gramma. While I appreciate their sacrifice I have never forgotten my moms boyfriend who raised me like his own for a time. Whoopi was feeling some type of way because she was raised by a single mom and...is(?) was(?) a single mom. She was quick to take away from fathers based upon her own situation.

It's a shame that fatherhood needs to be spoken on like this but we see what it is in the community. A lot of folks tell themselves they don't need fathers because of their situation. Sorry. I'll take having a good dad all day everyday rather than have had my mom go it alone.
