heh, I always figured you precluded it due to some kind of "keeping it pure (to Jung)" thing that might have been going on in the beginning with the more primitive archetypes.
 
 The way I always saw the lack of a Father archetype was that, in the past the Father figure was the True King (and sometimes the Demegougue... or how ever it's spelled)... at least in western tradition post stone age.  Child birthing, rearing, nurturing, etc, was always a very feminine role, one reserved for women as they were the ones to create life.
 
 However, in todays world, there is most definitely a paradigm shift there where the Stay at Home Dad is either bucking for his own seat in the stars or working to radically redefine the Mother archetype eliminating the gender specificity... once the old and well entrenched prehistoric Mother is dethroned that is...

written one up.  I wrote up the Mother in "One Shots" because I  
needed it for the plot.  I'm kind of glad I didn't do the Father  
before I became one, though.  I could do it a lot better now.
