21、er.Fathers Day took longer to establish on a national scale than Mothers Day, but as the idea grained popularity, tradesmen and manufacturers began to see the mercial possibilities.They encouraged sons and daughters to honor their fathers with small thank-you presents, such as a tie or pair of socks

38、their parents and to prepare more fully for participation in a world characterized by cooperation rather by the “battle of the se_es”.If the process goes too far and mans role is regarded as less important-and that has happened in some cases-we are as badly off as before, only in reverse.It is time
39、to reassess the role of the man in the American family.We are getting a little tired of “Monism”-but we dont want to e_change it for a “neo-Popism”.What we need, rather, is the recognition that bringing up children involves a partnership of equals.There are sings that psychiatrists, psychologists, s
