    Don't confuse this with male-involvement programs

    I just want to state that these "fatherhood initiatives" might be confused with, or might even include, male-involvment programs. These programs try to bring the father, or perhaps some other male figure, back into the lives of children lacking a father figure for whatever reason. They have nothing to do with marriage and they seem to be tremendously helpful to children. These are good programs and shouldn't be tainted with this marriage hullaballoo.
