Do you think kids still need dads in this new world?
Countless I've heard women say they don't need a man to raise a child. Basically the dad function is useless or reduced to provide child support.

Just because someone says they don't need dads doesn't mean it is true.
To be a good parent it takes commitment and effort. The science that I've seen shows that children have the best chance at success by having both a mother and father.
That doesn't mean a single parent or other alternatives can't do a great job raising children, but that the best chance, statistically, is with a Mom and Dad.
Kids need both a mother and father at different times in their lives. They also need parents who teach respect toward the other gender and so much more.
