It's stressing ideologies two generations old based upon a foundation that has been rotting for twenty years.I don't think it's indicative of little empathy. I think it's indicative of trying to reinforce responsibility.
Holding that kind of opinion is having little empathy towards your own son or daughter. I understand why it happens but it's really strange to me. It's also in many ways a very American way of viewing things so maybe that's the issue.

I know you're joking, but come on, man.
