Not just in that comment, but that the story implies is something that we should be facing more openly as a possibility.John Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01148138073618817344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361134039960047472.post-79731594964797785602007-05-08T16:54:00.000-07:002007-05-08T16:54:00.000-07:00I've heard that men in some cultures, where the ch...I've heard that men in some cultures, where the children are given maternal last names, say of our culture and paternal naming "you trust your women that much?"Amberlynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662434972005811311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361134039960047472.post-52374307865382219032007-04-29T08:13:00.000-07:002007-04-29T08:13:00.000-07:00I'd hope that it wouldn't change the relationship ...I'd hope that it wouldn't change the relationship between father and child, but the story presents only stories where that doesn't seem to be the case. Now that could be the bias of the story or sensationalism. The statement that the longer the time between birth and revelation, the better chance of the father-child relationship surviving makes sense to me.
