The paternal health angle is one I hadn't considered in terms of a government office, but now that I think about it I have seen VERY little research on that particular topic. What little I have seen (see below for example), does seem immediately relevant to new parents, yet even in MRA circles I don't think I've seen awareness of it raised. I have to wonder if this is another casualty of an unspoken unwillingness on the part of so many to risk offending or stigmatizing single mothers by implying in any way that the absence of a father is detrimental to their child (or vice versa). Might be a good topic for a future letter.
I will be sharing two of these research articles in the upcoming Weekly Roundup at The Nuzzo Letter. Thanks again for the links. I've also shared them on X.
I tend to read mostly studies related to the intersection of politics/personality and neurology, but I went down a rabbit hole a while back looking into how becoming a parent impacts personality and politics. Parental changes in oxytocin and testosterone were one avenue I looked into based on this temperament construct https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26284018/
