It is interesting to question why the party of Father’s Day continues in an age where the nuclear family and devoted parents in particular are subject to angry propaganda.
Most of us immediately understand the relationship between layout and social ills, such as murder, poverty, and mental condition. We may witness the innocence and delight of children who are blessed with good parents and caring ones at the same time.
Maybe those are reasons why the tradition of Father’s Day continues to hold sway in America, in spite of ideologues who hope to abolish responsible masculinity by labeling it as toxic, patriarchal, or a product of” white supremacy” . ,
Father’s Day even takes place at the top of June’s storm of” Pride Month” anger. A significant part of the “pride” agitprop is a huge campaign to eliminate gender inequality and promote the use of artificial reproductive methods like surrogacy to remove fathers and mothers from children’s lives.  ,
However, the tradition of Father’s Day endures, despite the thanklessness of the function of good fathers by a society that seems to reject the very idea of fatherhood. Americans do so because, despite media’s best efforts, they really love fathers.
Father Hunger is a testament to his fiction, according to mythical portrayals of paternity.
A recall of the parents hunger that children experience, some stories from popular culture are particularly informative about the value of good fathers.  , In component, the word “father starvation” describes the mental hunger, confusion, and frustration that comes with the loss of a father through death, absence, neglect, or abuse.
The Bible is full of references that speak to the sorrows of the childless, whom we are instructed to treat effectively.  , Psalm 68: 5 reads:” A father of the fatherless, and a prosecutor of the women, is God in his sacred settlement” . ,
The dad- child marriage is also key to numerous works of excellent literature, including Ivan Turgenev’s novel Fathers and Sons, Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, and Charles Dickens ‘ A Christmas Carol.  , There’s no shortage of shows that zero in on the important part of parents, including” The Lion King”,” Three Men and a Baby”,” Mrs. Doubtfire”, and” Field of Goals”. You’ll also notice that in the 1990s, for cherished stories ‘ generation seems to have waned. It should come as no surprise that today’s production is but subdued.
The role of the second father in so many aged television programs in America is particularly edifying because of the desire for a good fatherhood. There were numerous television programs about the single dad ( or dad surrogate ) who responsibly raises bereaved children and gives them comfort and purpose in life that started in the 1950s.
The Widower Dad’s Mystery
Incidentally, the father who inspired the battle for Father’s Day was himself a man. At 16 years old, Sonora Louise Smart Dodd’s family died, leaving Sonora’s loving parents to provide for her and her five younger sons. According to the legend, Sonora believed that parents should also be honored when she was a mother’s time sermonist at church in 1909. Her plan for Father’s Day took six years more than Mother’s Day, which was actually recognized in 1914 by President Woodrow Wilson. Sonora Dodd, who was 90 years older, was the only person to sign the policy recognizing Father’s Day in 1972, which was signed by President Richard Nixon.
The widow father, in particular, seems to have a unique mystique in American tales. After recalling some TV reveals that reflected that structure, I did a little research. I discovered a wealth of knowledge about them in Jim O’Kane’s site, TVDADS.com, where he traces the development of the individual TV father century by decade from the 1950s to the 2020s. I’ll concentrate on a few well-known single-dad television programs. They were produced during the 1950s and 1960s, which happens to be the same era that brought us shows about intact suburban families, such as” Ozzie and Harriet” and” Leave It to Beaver”.
The fathers in the single-dad television series were single primarily because the mother had passed away. Even after divorce became more common in the 1970s and 1980s, the widower mystique persisted. For example, the father in the popular 1987- 95 series” Full House” was a widower.  ,
O’Kane points out that the household help often served the role of” stand- in mom”, such as the cook Hop Sing in the all- male Cartwright household of everyone’s favorite western,” Bonanza”. Ben Cartwright ( Lorne Greene ) was widowed three times, so each of his three adult sons — Adam, Hoss, and Little Joe— were literally brothers from another mother.
The Sheriff Andy Taylor, played by Mayberry’s Sheriff, is a widower who works with stand-in mother Aunt Bee to raise his young son Opie ( Ron Howard ). Another favorite was the widower Steven Douglas ( Fred MacMurray ) of” My Three Sons”. His father- in- law, the children’s grandfather,” Bub” ( William Frawley, ) also a widower, is the stand- in mom who wears an apron while running the household.  ,
Another example is the” Courtship of Eddie’s Father” ( Bill Bixby ), which focuses on a widower whose son hopes to find a new wife for him. This theme recurs in other stories such as Patricia MacLachlan’s children’s book Sarah, Plain and Tall, and is a nod to the mother hunger a bereaved child will feel.
A few other shows with widower fathers in that early era were “Sky King”,” Flipper”,” The Rifleman”,” Gidget”, and even cartoons like” Dudley Do- Right”. In addition to” Sanford and Son” and” St. Patrick’s Day,” other television series ( in the 1970s ) with different perspectives on the widower father situation were produced. Elsewhere”.
However, since then, our culture has been evoking a more subdued view of fathers who lack a strong character or even a masculine identity. Identity politics have flooded our culture in recent decades with portrayals of fathers who identify as gay and/or transgender, such as in” Modern Family” or” Transparent,” in large part due to flooding popular culture with an LGBT focus, which have been specific projects of the heavily funded GLAAD Media Awards since 1989.
However, if we look back at earlier portrayals of traditional fathers, we can see the father hunger that drives Father’s Day as a cherished custom. On the surface, those previous shows may have served as light entertainment. However, they reveal a deeper story that reflects a steadfast desire for good fathers to bring joy and healing in the face of loss. When we celebrate Father’s Day, we acknowledge that endearing reality.
