This progressive was raised in a nuclear family and raised his kids in a nuclear family. I'm all for them.The claim is valid, women are just as capable as men, or do you disagree with that? Now if the claim was "A MOTHER and a CHILD need a FATHER like a fish needs a bicycle”. I might agree with you that it was an invalid claim. Of course it didn't say that so this is another example of you chasing straw men.It means ignoring the absurd claims of the Left: “"A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.” That rule dooms a child to a life of poverty and prison.

Now….remind me: which side endorses traditional values, the work ethic, the nuclear family….with a father in the home.
Was it Progressives or conservatives?
Which party wants all children to have food, healthcare, decent housing, and a decent education?
I'll put you down as being copacetic with boys growing up without a father in the home.
The Democrats will be so very proud of you.
