Alex Berenson Publishes 50-Tip Fatherhood Manifesto as U.S. Baby Bust Deepens

2 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 19

Summary

  • Alex Berenson released “THE FATHERHOOD MANIFESTO,” a short Father’s Day booklet that defends fathers’ role and offers 50 practical tips for dads.
  • Three children of his own — ages 7, 10 and 13 — frame Berenson’s argument that media, academia and parenting trends have devalued fathers and sidelined masculine virtues such as discipline and stoicism.
  • His advice urges fathers to shield preteens from anxiety about threats like Covid, climate change and school shootings, arguing parents should project confidence that serious crises can be solved.
  • Berenson says weakening fathers harms families and society, discourages some men from having children during a worsening U.S. baby bust, and leaves boys vulnerable to figures like Andrew Tate.
