Stereotyped father

I think that the view of fathers in the media has gone way down throughout the years. The stereotypical father is so dumbed down that they are no longer a respectable figure of the family. I am not sure if the fathers decline in real life came before or after the media began to cut them down, but it has happened. I am lucky enough to have a dad that does not fall into the typical role of the father, but many are not as fortunate as me. It is time for fathers to become real men that deserve their children's respect and lead their household, in the real home, and on T.V. as well.
