Original Question
1." How fathers are portrayed is of particular importance. Fatherlessness is one of the greatest threats our children face."
2. "The evidence is clear 'man as idiot' isn't going over very well these days."
3. "Among the many ills fatherlessness portends are much higher rates of teen drug abuse, crime, pregnancy, and school drop-outs."

These are all just opinions/claims. No arguments are being made (no attempt to justify the opinions/claims) so we cannot evaluate the reasoning behind them, so we don't know if they are fallacious or not.
1. Opinion
2. So radical feminism is less popular? I'm assuming that's the source of "man as idiot". Opinion
3. This might be confusing cause and effect fallacy unless the data has a solid foundation.

Those are my guesses.
