A father's depression has a direct effect on both internalized and externalized behavioral problems in adolescents, according to a recent study out of BYU's School of Social Work.
"Many studies look at moms who are depressed and how they impact children," Shafer said. "Very few looked at how depressed fathers influence their children. As dads become more involved in their children's lives, we thought this was an important question with significant implications for families."
The research, published last month, found that a father's depression had a direct effect on both internalized and externalized behavioral problems in adolescents. Internalizing behaviors include high levels of withdrawal, anxiety and depressed mood. Externalizing behaviors are directed outward and are associated with heightened anger and aggression. In contrast, the study also showed that maternal depression impacts kids, but in more subtle ways, since most women internalize their depression.
"Kids probably pick up on their dad's depression in ways they don't with mothers," Shafer said. "Men are more likely to show anger and frustration. Children are going to notice, and it's going to affect them."
[...] Depression is the most common mental health issue in the United States, with approximately seven percent experiencing a major depressive episode each year and nearly 20 percent experiencing it in their lifetime.

You wait until those sex-dolls start going mainstream and becoming more affordable.
Attention is like crack cocaine to women -- they'll do anything for it, and they can never get enough of it. Of course, to us men, it's just this [pinimg.com] again and again whether it's discussion about handbags or being nagged about hanging out with those friends she doesn't agree with.
Men just wanna nut and roll over and watch Sportscenter or get up and go play Eve or Elder Scrolls or troll Soylentnews. Makes me wish I were born in the 24th century, where I could make a female Soong-type android complete with off-switch and foreplay-bypass circuitry.

Stick a dragon-dildo up your butt and rotate on it while sucking eggs?

To late. They are not even mainstream or affordable yet and the feminists are already starting to complain about them.
"Sex robots epitomize patriarchy and offer men a solution to the threat of female independence. Sex robots don’t offer men “companionship,” they offer men complete dominance."
... and they go on and on and on about how the dolls are evil, men are evil and all we want to do nothing but put women in their place and rape them for all their worth. Basically they are rape-bots and men like them cause they don't talk back and have opinions, also there was something about perky nipples and that they do things that real women can't.

Huh. Real women have nipples that aren't perky? Hmm. Oh well, I guess my woman suit isn't a completely perfect replica after all!
You and that AC go get some sex bots, and I'll keep doing my thing. Let's rape the shit out of this female form!
