This is one of your most powerful pieces yet. As I was reading it, I asked myself, “Why hasn’t anyone said this before?” That’s a sign that you are saying something important. I predict that your argument will become commonplace and others will see it as a truism. Brava.
Thanks for the encouragement! We have to speak up and out and hold everyone to our own high standards. If family life is so all-fired important, esp for conservatives, let's see less lip service and more parenting from *whichever* parent is in absentis (they're not all fathers!)
