In this article, W. Bradford Wilcox discusses the role of fathers in today's society. Most of the article revolves around him stating data that overwhelmingly prove that having a father is crucial for kids to develop into health adults. He cites several studies that prove this, such as a Princeton study that said that man who were raised without fathers are 3 times more likely to go to jail by the time they reach 30.
The author's purpose was to prove that fathers still have a crucial role. He says that in today's society where single moms are becoming more common, the father's rule is being thought of as not so important. In this article, he proves that that notion is wrong, that fathers are extremely important for boys and girls alike.
