Fathers

Man, I can't believe this;

in my psych of women class, on the powerpoint (no sources) was this statement that a father's absence has little harmful effect. o0;

That has to be B.S.! I grew up without my father, still wonder where certain self attributes come from, anger towards men, ...I feel it did a lot of harm although I don't know how to prove it; that stat can't be right.
I donno lol

Maybe you misunderstood what it was about absence that was not harmful?

This says interactions are very affected, but not "traditional measures of sex-role typing" so maybe whatever had little harmful effect was not absence over all measures but a particular one?

I can only think it was something like that (or the point was being made that that statement is NOT true) as it is clear that your point of view is correct:

I hope that was it! (the sex-role typing.) I'll have to e-mail the professor now that the semester is over lol.

Thanks, that would help my conscious a little lol
