Damn you all! All my fantasies of raising a daughter to spread my seed are ruined! (sarcasm)

I read this a few weeks back and my creepometer went up quite a dozen notches. But, then I read some of the comments that the fathers were giving. Honestly, I don't think these are men who have a weird affection for their offspring. Men have been shuffled to the backcourt on so many issues that I think any entry into social mores is viewed as weird.

So many people are trying so hard to hang on to what they think is right when it comes to their children. Some kids are brought up in liberal districts that believe in some of the things I cherish. Some are the opposite. I don't think this is the most horrible thing in the world.

That horror boy a couple of seasons ago who wandered into an amish school with some lube and a gun is the worst. He wasn't amish, he wasn't baptist. I'm not sure what the best option is in this case, but I think having dads who talk to their kids is a plus.
