Alex Berenson argues that fatherhood is crucial for the well-being of children and society. Despite the cultural elite’s attempts to undermine traditional masculinity, fathers play a vital role in teaching boys and girls important values like stoicism, self-discipline, and respect for authority.
The Impact of Fatherhood
Berenson notes that the ‘gentle parenting’ trend, which encourages endless negotiating with children, can be detrimental to children’s development. This approach discourages fathers from discipline and authority, leading to a lack of masculine virtues in children. Berenson believes that fathers must be allowed to teach boys and girls the importance of hard work, responsibility, and respect for authority.
Berenson also discusses the importance of fathers in shaping their children’s mental health and behavior. He cites a study that found fathers play a crucial role in their daughters’ mental health and their sons’ school behavior. Berenson argues that fathers must be empowered to take an active role in their children’s lives, rather than being marginalized by the cultural elite.
A Call to Action
Berenson concludes by calling on fathers to stand up for their rights and responsibilities. He argues that fathers must be allowed to teach their children important values and discipline them when necessary. Berenson also encourages fathers to speak out against the cultural elite’s attempts to undermine traditional masculinity and fatherhood.
