What I want to know is exactly what this drivel has to do with fatherhood? Not one mention of fatherhood. Why is he bringing up the fact that he's part of the FATHERHOOD initiative?

Yeah he probably just means patriarchy.

I guess the name "Blame Women For Everything Initiative" didn't work out in focus groups.

None of this has jackshit to do with the shit he's written. If this group knows what's good for them, they'll distance themselves from this idiot.

I'm guessing that he either just considers all misogynistic drivel to be an important part of Fatherhood Initiatives, or it's this: when men are seduced by vile succubi, their wives divorce them and take the children, robbing men of their natural right to see their children and pull their exes into court at every opportunity. Therefore, scarlet women indirectly rob men of their children, which means it's society's job to shame them at every turn.

Have you been to the Fatherhood Initiative site? There is NOTHING in the site itself that suggests anything of the sort. I side-eyed how they had different things for how to raise a son and how to raise a daughter, but there was NOTHING, once I actually went through it, that raised my hackles. There was no "you are the keeper of your daughter's chastity" drivel. There was, "Teach your son that emotions don't make him weak" and "teach your daughter to be strong and confident".
And that's why I'm taken aback by his signature at the end. If this group knows what's good for them, they'll disown the writer.

Oh, I'm not blaming the group as a whole. It's just that I'm guessing that's how this dude relates slut-shaming to fatherhood.
