Men Should Not Be Raised By Women - Mishima, Fight Club, and Fatherless Society
The fruits of three generations of fatherlessness (or as Fight Club said, of "men raised by women") are visible today to anyone willing to look. Let's analyze two works of literature that use this theme to present compelling and prescient narratives. Yukio Mishima's work examines the price society pays for bad fathers, Palahniuk's book shows a world remade by fatherlessness.
