David Blakenhorn on Daughters & Father Absence #fatherlessdaughters #fatherless #fatherdaughter

“A father plays a distinctive role in shaping a daughter's sexual style and her understanding of the male-female bond. A father's love and involvement builds a daughter's confidence in her own femininity and contributes to her sense that she is worth loving. This sense of love-worthiness gives young women a greater sense of autonomy and independence in later relationships with men. Consequently, women who have had good relationships with their fathers are less likely to engage in an anxious quest for male approval or to seek male affection through promiscuous sexual behavior. Many studies confirm that girls who grow up without fathers are at much greater risk for early sexual activity, adolescent childbearing, divorce, and lack of sexual confidence and orgasmic satisfaction. These problems do not stem primarily from economic status. Scholars have studied this issue carefully, documenting the effects on girls of fatherless homes while controlling for income that is, eliminating income as a dependent variable in the studies. They have concluded that Father absence, not money absence, is the core issue.” - David Blakenhorn
