Where are the dads??

When the West decided that Daddy Government could be the Dad, Dad's stopped having rights if they were allowed to participate at all.

So in the rarer cases where the dad is even still around for these vulnerable people, he is kept out of the loop and henpecked by his wife knowing full well if he tries anything they will all turn on him. Meaning he is out of their life, his possibly ruined, and they continue on regardless.
