Apparently, fathers are now UNNECESSARY

Wut?

I strongly recommend watching Dr Warren Farrell's Ted talk. I could only use a small section of it, but the talk in full is really, really great.

There is so much data out there for both sides of the argument as to the usefulness of fathers in a child's life. As always, simple searches on Google Scholar will pull up this data and you can suss it out yourself :)
A lot of arguments circulate the idea that children will grow up perfectly fine as long as they have SOME male influence - but that doesn't need to be from a father, which is an interesting concept, because a lot of people grow up with uncles and grandfathers etc and turn into very well-rounded adults.
