Another way of seeing this is that a society with collective daddy issues (which we have in spades) will exhibit pathologies similar to those exhibited by individuals with daddy issues.

Which is to say: 

First, a rejection of the Paternal image per se, accented by a disdain for all associated paternal symbols.

Then, an attraction to precisely those aspects of masculinity (from either a masculine or feminine-coded perspective) that gave rise to the father-shaped hole within the family.

We’re now acting this out en masse, which is a reasonable emergent expectation considering the divorce rates in our nation, the fractured psychosomatic soil created by this schismatic cultural lineage, and the fact that it is this soil from which today’s cultural flora have grown.
