In our culture it's not particularly difficult to find examples of fatherhood failure. We are saturated daily with dofus-dad imagery, the cannon fodder of sitcoms and the advertising industry. And that's before you even get to looking at the guys that bring you these statistics (thx @FatherFactor).
