Dads Delay Puberty In Daughters - Strange Men Bring It On : 99Mind.com

I’ve just had an article published in the online publication called www.99Mind.com that discusses an article that recently came out in the Chicago Tribune about the health risks posed to girls who are beginning their puberty at ever increasing younger ages.  Here is an excerpt:

We we see here is a clear ideological bias by these researchers cited in the Chicago Tribune article, as well as its author, Ms. Griffith, against any suggestion that the biological (real) father could play such a vital role in the psychophysical development of their daughters.

This kind of bias in some academic and journalistic circles has been building for some time. It was pointed out by David Blankenhorn in a 2001 USA Today article entitled “Dads, Daughters Forge Key Bonds” Blankenhorn, president of the New York-based Institute for American Values and an editor of The Fatherhood Movement: A Call to Action, correctly points out that most of our grandmothers would laugh at the question of whether biological fathers play a unique and vital role in the development of their children, but these days of ideologically driven academic research gives us such opinions of that of Louise Silverstein and Carl Auerbach who wrote in 2000, in the American Psychologist, that they were “convinced” that the biological father makes no “unique and essential” contribution to his child’s development. Other “responsible, caretaking” adults can do the job just as well.
