Research reveals that men who favor masculine characteristics tend to have a knack for parenting.
"Researchers from the Ohio State University found that characteristics such as competitiveness and adventurousness were linked to being better fathers to infants," reports The Daily Mail.
"While these traits are often seen as old-fashioned male stereotypes, the researchers say that they can result in more positive parenting behaviours."
There seems to be an intentional effort to vilify masculine and feminine characteristics. The presumption is that nature's gender roles tend to flub up the Marxian ideal that differences must be attributed to social and cultural influences. Social engineers then set out to rid society of those influences to achieve social justice.
Missing is the reality that the traditional family is the most efficient and effective social structure in existence.

Nine months after the child was born, the researchers watched the fathers interact with their babies, both by themselves and with the mother.
Each father was rated on their positive parenting behaviour, and on how well they co-parented alongside the mother.
The results revealed that the more men said they fit with the stereotypical definition of 'real men', the more they were rated as good parents.
However, those who showed high levels of hostile sexism were found to have worse parenting skills.
Unsurprisingly, men who believed they should have a nurturing father role were also found to be better co-parents.
'The fathers who see themselves as competitive and adventurous and the other masculine traits tended to be really engaged with their kids. They were not checked out,' Professor Schoppe-Sullivan said.
