like daddit for the fediverse but we all eat pizza with ranch and say "ope" a lot. all dads and non-dads are welcome. ranch on pizza is recommended but not required. ope is mandatory.

If that were true, it would have been called dadsplaining

I love thinking that mansplaining is preparation for the evolved state of dadsplaining. This is fantastic!

Honestly, I've read a psychological study on this that basically concluded the it should be called "dadsplaining" because it's based in a natural instinct of wanting to explain things to help your kids grow.

A lot of us had absent dads. I had a father, but I never had a dad. Check yourself.
