We watched a documentary last night on TLC about the Purity Movement. Nothing like a good old fashioned biblical excuse to wrap one’s daughter in a bubble of ignorance and second class gender roles like a “sign this contract with your dad re: sex” to set society back a couple centuries.

The SkepDad Blog is meant to casually reflect on questions surrounding parenting and raising kids to become critical thinkers by asking questions and examining parenting ideas with a skeptical eye for facts and science. Each article is one dad's personal opinion, backed (where relevant) by literature and published research, or otherwise based on personal experiences and insights. SkepDad welcomes balanced discussion, comments, and ideas.

THE SKEPDAD BLOG is a place for rational, science-minded fathers to express their thoughts, opinions, and ideas about bringing up kids to be critical thinking adults in a world filled with superstition, mysticism, and pseudoscience.
- MINIBLOG: So. Much. Text. - Ok. So five articles a weeks is quickly becoming a little overwhelming for my hectic life. I am revising my estimates, and will aim for mere quality over quantity.
COMMENTS: None. First Post? - MINIBLOG: Daily Posts: Week One - As promised, I’ll be posting five days per week in December. I’ve decided that the theme for week one is “lists” — as astute readers may have already noticed. Suggestions for week two?
COMMENTS: None. First Post? - MINIBLOG: December Project - To make up for a slow-blogging November, Skepdad is aiming for updates five days a week in December. And not just mini-blog posts either… Monday to Sunday: 5 posts! Watch for it.
COMMENTS: None. First Post? - MINIBLOG: Obama Trend - What does the election of Barack Obama mean for the course of science and science education in the US in the coming four years? How will this impact internationally? Discuss.
