The paterfamilias: male responsibility, traditional family, and wider society | Sam G. Hall
Tradition has withered, not rotted. Its very nature is perennial and therefore liable to re-emergence in the right conditions. Years worth of damage will take a corresponding number of years to heal, but within that framework, restoring the paterfamilias would undoubtedly create a societal ripple. If we wish to see broader changes, it is best to begin with the smallest compositional unit of society, i.e., the family itself.
More rights but less happiness: is now really the best time to be a woman? | Nelly Huszcza
While correlation doesn’t necessarily imply causation, married women have been proven to be generally happier than single women statistically.

Britons today must be educated on the benefits of stable families and encouraged to create an environment which will best allow for their children to succeed.
