Fathers Breed Success

Child development psychology does provide evidence that fathers involvement in their daughters lives have a noticeable positive effect on life outcomes. Having a father around does a service to a daughter.

Children growing up in single-parent households are at a significantly increased risk for drug abuse as teenagers.

Adolescent females between the ages of 15 and 19 years reared in homes without fathers are significantly more likely to engage in premarital sex than adolescent females reared in homes with both a mother and a father.
--Source: Billy, John O. G., Karin L. Brewster and William R. Grady. "Contextual Effects on the Sexual Behavior of Adolescent Women." Journal of Marriage and Family 56(1994): 381-404.

A survey of 720 teenage girls found:

97% of the girls said that having parents they could talk to could help reduce teen pregnancy.
93% said having loving parents reduced the risk.
76% said that their fathers were very or somewhat influential on their decision to have sex.

--Source: Clements, Mark. Parade. February 2, 1997.

Among teenage and adult populations of females, parental divorce has been associated with lower self-esteem, precocious sexual activity, greater delinquent-like behavior, and more difficulty establishing gratifying, lasting adult heterosexual relationships. It is especially intriguing to note that, in these studies, the parental divorce typically occurred years before any difficulties were observed

Worth Reading

This book is not specific only to the fathers; both parents should consider the material carefully. The main issue of this book is that we by ourselves are diminishing our daughters' abilities by upkeeping the dogmas about women that we've inherited from our parents. Examples of such beliefs are that girls are not good in sciences like math, are never possessing the necessary skill or talent to become a skilled professional in traditionally male (and thus higher paid) occupations. The differentiation of professions by gender is a dogma by itself.

The beginning of the book is quite noteworthy, the middle of it seemed to me to consist repetitions of previously said and kind of dull, but the ending of the book seemed deserving attention again.

The advises or the book couldn't be equally applied to all the cultures. Being an American author, Nicky Maroon had exposed the American gender gap that is deeper than it is in Russia, where Soviet Power since the beginning of 20th century took many efforts to gain the complete equality and liberty of women. Just estimate Lenin's publications on the status of women, or judge Olympic results. Former East Germany, the Soviet Union, and the Former Communist Bloc dominated women's running in the 70s and 80s, taking nearly 70% of the final placement points in those two decades in Olympic and world championship races.
