P&C drink and review Raison D’Extra from DuClaw brewing. It’s an insanely strong Belgian brown ale. They only had one bottle to share, because it’s expensive — but the boys agreed they need to get some more of that stuff and put it in the cellar for future Father’s Days. <\/p>\n
Pigweed and Crowhill reflect on their own dads, then discuss the state of fatherhood in American culture.<\/p>\n
These days our culture downplays the role of the father. He’s portrayed as either irrelevant or a doofus. Boys grow up with a very negative view of men and fatherhood. Men are toxic. They’re “potential rapists.” And “the future is female.” What does this do to a boy?<\/p>\n
The science is quite clear. Fathers are very important in the lives of their children. When a father is present, the stats are good. When he’s absent, the stats are horrible.<\/p>\n
We need to start honoring fathers again!<\/p>\n
