Question 1: Should society encourage traditional values and traditional forms and neglect other family structures such as same-sex and single parent families?

• Whitehead examines how men are consciously attempting to regain their roles and presence in their children's lives. She also explores how women have been overlooked and neglected in this process of re-connection. Additionally, she argues that "what has not yet been acknowledged is that the success of any effort to renew fatherhood as a social fact and a cultural norm also hinges on the attitudes and behavior of women." Why is it important for both women and men to play a vital role in men being fathers to their children?
