Yep, I remember how Dan Quayle was lambasted by the liberals and the media when he discussed this.
Talking about absent fathers or the problems of broken homes, etc. is one of those “taboo” subjects we’re not supposed to talk about.
Sort of how it’s racist to talk about certain things such as gang violence and knockout games, bigoted against gays if one questions gay adoption, gay marriage, etc.
Some subjects have been defined by the liberals as verboten to even talk about. And the importance of fathers in kids lives is one of those subjects.
“It’s Dan Quayle...fuggetaboutit.”
